Stage Notes:
A shot by shot summary of the beginning of my film opening.
03_13_19
Begin with sweeping drone shots of the area, with Ritt Momney song playing (“Something, In General” or “Phoebe”)
Timer goes off, prompting cut inside, with no music. Same framing as drone shot, but inside the window. Protagonist enters frame, quickly pours coffee into glass, and continues to get ready. Mid shot, as he enters, does not track as he leaves.
Cut to tracking shot exiting kitchen, following prot to bathroom. Leave coffee on a desk on the way to bathroom.
Mid-shot off of a mirror of protagonist, brushing teeth, applying cologne, brush hair, etc. Quick cuts between each task from same angle, not showing each task to completion.
Shot of protagonist looking into mirror, close up on expression. Zoom?
Quick cut to prot leaving house, shot from inside the house. As the door closes, move camera slightly so the coffee in the foreground, resting on the desk where it was left. Let the shot have for a moment.
Cut to inside the car, whether prot is driving somewhere. Close up of his face, from perspective of the windshield. Music from intro is back again, but it soon begins to fade out as interview audio fades in, creating a sound bridge.
As sound bridge fades in, prot remains stoic, except for a few nervous ticks. Hand movements, checking mirror to see himself etc. Should appear as if audio is perhaps his thoughts, before the cut.
Cut to over the shoulder in interview, facing prot from behind interviewer. Still have to write this monologue. Still questioning whether or not to include interviewer questions.
That will be all for now, everything else is still loose.
Thanks for reading.
- Shots of homes in a neighborhood, suburbia.
- Camera movement, forward on a long road (South Post) keeping the road in view while moving forward.
- Camera moves in front of my window, maintaining that position for a couple of seconds.
