We will be filming Mike, walking towards the pub. We will take some close up shots of his
feet walking, close up to his frustrated face. Filming of his face grunting, whilst walking, in the
direction of the camera pointed at him. Also close, wobbly shots, filmed from the back of
Mike, to show the mood of the situation. Also, a shot of Mike walking, nearly into the pub,
shoulder shot to be done. End shot of him walking into the outside area of the pub, from a side
angle. The editing, in this scene, consists of short clips, in succession, of the above. This
consists of him walking, in the street, in the direction of the pub, with a vented way of strutting
his walk. There isn’t much sound that we would need in this scene, if there is, cars passing by
could be the most sound in the surroundings. Wind, or rain, might be a factor to deal with,
depending on the weather of the scheduled shoot.

This scene consists of Mike walking into the pub, through the open area. We will take similar
shots to how the scene before was shot, but in the direction of him walking into the interior
pub, night time. We will film him opening the door, from the side angle. We will also film
the action of opening the knob/pushing the door, close up shot. We will also film another
shot of him walking into the pub, towards the cameras direction, which will be in the spot of
the bar. We will then film, a shot of him sitting on the stool, with a close up shot of him
assisting himself to comfort on the stool. We film the barman, acknowledging Mike how he
is & what he would like to order, from the side. We will then film Mike, in the direction of
the camera, behind the bar, like his looking at the barman, explaining he’s stressful situation.
The barman will be shot again from the side, for abit, acknowledging his sincere gratitude in
fixing his problems, and also, quickly shift into another shot, looking in the direction of the
camera, as if the camera is Mike. Mike is then shot, from the side, thanking his appreciation
& asking kindly for a pint. We then film the Barman, again from the angle of him looking
towards the camera, accepting the order. We then take a quick shot of him walking towards
the tap. We film a quick, close up shot of him grabbing a glass. We then take a quick shot of
him pulling the tap down. After this, we quickly shoot Mike’s frustrated face (could be
related to the impatience of wanting a pint, quickly.). We then shoot back to the pint, close
up, being poured, from the side angle. We shoot the bubbles, fizzing & frothing to the brim.
We then film the barman’s hand, placing a coaster on the bar, also places the beer on it. But

3. we quickly use another shot,from the side, of both Mike & the Barman, were Mike would
give & say ‘here you go mate’. We film Mike thanking the barman, from the position of the
camera looking towards Mike, as if he was the barman. Then we film a close up shot of Mike
grabbing the beer. We then film Mike, drinking the pint as fast as possible, in one go. We
then move on to another shot of him, finishing the pint, from the instant, one go gulp, from a
side angle. We then have Mike again, looking towards the camera behind the bar, asking for
another pint. Barman is then filmed again, with the same possible shots as before for filming
the beer. We will do this, in repetiton, but with different reactions of Mike, close up, trying to
gulp as fast as possible the beers he is purchasing. These shots of his rounds of beer, will
gather up in fast pace, to show the process of getting drunk at a ridiculous, misappropriate
manner. On the 5th round, we film him, looking at the barman, getting a bit pissed. He’s tone
gets a bit arrogant at this point. We then film the camera, in the position looking at Mike,
telling him to cool down a bit. We then film Mike, with a close up shot to his face, then his
mouth, slurring, & drooling a bit of spit, a rude response that he is fine & the barman should
keep doing his job. The barman, filmed from Mike’s view, accepts his order. We move onto
to a quick shot of his mouth, showing a small grunt of pity for the man. Shots are repeated at
a faster pace than before, possibly for another 3 times, to show he goes through another 3
pints. We now film Mike, from the barman’s position, more drunk & demanding, requesting
shots of tequila. We would also be filming a close up of his drunken face, of him looking
more frustrated & under the influence. We then film, from Mikes position, the barman’s
disgruntled face, but approves. As soon as he reaches out for the bottle of tequila, we film his
hand movement towards the tequila, from a side angle, close up. Then, we shoot, from a
straight view of the hand grabbing the tequila bottle, off the mantlepiece. We then shoot a
close up of the barman’s hands, grabbing the shot glasses. Side shot of the shot glasses, being
placed on the counter. We film, from the top of looking at the shot glasses, the tequila being
poured. We could also do a small shot from the side, close up, of the tequila being poured.
We then shoot Mike, thank the barman, with the shot taken from the barman’s positions. We
then film his hand movement to grabbing the shots, from the side. We film him grabbing the
shots, from the side angle. Also shoot him jugging the shots, close up, from the side & an
instant one from the front, close up. Do it 3x for each shot. We then film Mike thank the
barman, from the camera being shot at the barman’s position. The barman is then shot from
Mikes position, saying ‘it’s orite, you should call it a night”. We then film, from the barmans
position, Mike’s appreciation for thought from the bouncer & states his going to try go
smoke a cigarette, as he just started & finding it difficult. We then film a quick shot of the
barman, from Mikes position, giving him the go ahead. We then film Mike, getting off his
stool, close up. Then another shot, from the barman’s position, of Mike walking in the
direction of the door. We could also do a small shot of his stuttering walk, shoulder shot, and
also a side shot. From the side shot of him going towards the door, we then do a close up
shot of him opening/pushing the door from its knob, or handle. The sound in this whole
scene, will be sound taken from the pub previously busy, to use surrounding sound of a
normal pub noise, with standard pub music.

with the cigarette lighting it. We will also do a small shot of the camera looking in the
direction of his face lighting the cigarette. As soon as he tries to inhale, we film a normal
shot of his face coughing, from struggling to inhale. While he is coughing, from the side
shot, a lady pops from his other side. We film her face, close up, checking if Mike is OK,
since he is coughing from the cigarette. We then film Mike’s struggling/drunk face, saying
his fine & starts conversation with her. We will be doing different shots of there
conversation, close up to there faces & mouths, whilst talking, about personal, ongoing
issues. We also have shots in this conversation, of Becky smoking a cigarette, like it should
be, with simultaneous shots of her actions in inhaling the cigarette, whilst speaking to Mike.
This will consist of a lot of short shots, of there faces, happening fast paced, with a few side
shots of both showing. Whilst the face, close up shots are happening during conversation, we
film Becky inviting Mike to hers, for more drinks, from the side angle of Mikes back. We do
same way, from Beckys side (these shots will also be part of the conversation we said have
these different shots.) showing Mikes approval & go ahead for going to hers. The last shot

would be taking close up shots of Mike’s balance & close up shots of his drunken face,
which could involve him closing his eyes. We would be also doing close up shots of Becky’s
help face & her action to move Mike’s hand over her shoulder. We will do a side shot and a
back shot for this action. We continue to film them, for a few seconds, in the different shots
planned. We could maybe fast forward there walk towards Becky, to the point were they

First shot would be a shoulder shot, of both of them entering the building. We will also be
doing a frontal shot, from inside the building, pointing towards them, both walking towards
the lift. We would then do a short, side shot of them waiting for the lift. We will do a small
close up shot of Mike/Becky pressing the lift button. We would then shoot, from side angle &
back angle, them walking into the lift. Whilst in the lift, we will film, from the underneath, a
shot of both of them awkwardly keeping up conversation. We then film the lift door opening,
with them walking in the direction of the camera pointed at them. Then, there will be another
shot, from the side, of Becky opening the door. We could also do another short, quick, close
up shot of the key being inserted into the lock. Another shot of them coming into the flat, one
shot from the outside of the door, on the sides. Another shot, of the camera pointed at them,
from inside the house. We will then film Mike walking towards the couch & Becky walking in
the other direction, towards the kitchen/bar to make some drinks. We will be doing different
shots of Mike trying to smoke, whilst trying to keep up conversation. Whilst there are quick
shots going on, of both of there actions, we will also be filming Becky’s action of pouring
shots of tequila. We will be doing similar shooting techniques to those done for the pints/shots
at the pub. The only difference is, we will be shooting Becky’s face, close up, of mischief,
were she will be reaching out for a certain drug she had hidden, & planned, for this occasion.
She subtly puts the pill in the shot for Mike, we will be doing all sorts of similar close up, side
shots, like of the shots done at the pub for the shot glasses. This time we will film, from
Becky’s view, of her placing the pill in the shot glass. We will also shoot the pill dissolve into
the tequila. Whilst we are doing short shots of these actions, we will be having short shots of
Mikes face, close up, whilst they are in conversation. When Becky is finished from preparing
the shots, we will film her walking towards the living room area, pointed at the camera & also
from the back, in the direction of Mike. We will then film Mike’s stumbling attempt to stand

both faces signal a cheers, before they drink. We could also shoot both Mike & Becky’s eyes,
close up, to show how Mike was drunk (& horny possibly), & Becky’s eyes(which seemed up
to no good). As soon as they both drink the shots, we will do a quick shot of Mike’s face go in
disgust, & close his eyes instantly, which leads to the black out.

startled & confused to what could/might have happened. His face will give off an impression
that he believes it was all just a dream, meaning he shrugs off what could/might have
happened.
