21. RAILLY'S POV THROUGH THE WINDOW: a MAN, his back to her, in
strait-jacket and prison denims, examining the wall of the padded
cell with the distorted intensity of a "mental case".
RAILLY
You have him in restraints.
FRANKI
Were you listening? We got two officers in
the hospital. Yeah, he's in restraints, plus
the medic gave him enough stellazine to kill
a horse. Look at him! Still on his feet.
RAILLY'S POV THROUGH THE WINDOW: the MAN in the cell turns, looks
right at her. In spite of the cuts and welts, it's clearly COLE.
RAILLY
That would explain the bruises, I
guess. The struggle.
FRANKI
You want to go in? Examine him?
RAILLY
Yes, please. You said he gave a name...

Learn the 19 shots.
Design, shoot and upload all shots.
A story is not required, but a theme or motif is appreciated.
Drop the shots into whatever app you are editing with.
TITLE each shot with it’s name (e.g. Close up or Bird’s Eye).
Creative use of titles is appreciated.
Export the completed video toVimeo and send me the link.
One period to shoot • One period to edit

SHOT 12

56. Point ofView “POV”
SHOT 15
POV- the audience sees exactly what a character in a film sees. POV can be used to increases the audience’s emotional
attachment to the character onscreen.
A POV shot need not be the strict point-of-view of an actual single character in a film. Sometimes the point-of-view shot
is taken over the shoulder of the character (third person), who remains visible on the screen.
Sometimes a POV shot is "shared" ("dual" or "triple"), i.e. it represents the joint POV of two (or more) characters.
