2. The first thing that our film
starts with is our
production name followed
by the film title.
There is no score music playing in this scene.
The sound effect of birds tweeting fades in as
Titles roll in.
Our title stood out as it
was written in a big font
with white text on a
black background.
3. We used a wide shot to show the
protagonist sitting down and then being
joined by another shady looking character.
There is diegetic sound of birds in the background which
connotes to the audience that the scene is calm and there is
nothing much happening out of the ordinary at the moment.
4. The next shot is another wide shot which shows a ball being kicked at our protagonist. The
other character in the scene is on his phone. And both their bags are exactly the same.
The diegetic sounds of birds and the trees maintain the idea that they are in a calm
environment. This is our attempt at following Todorov’s theory of equilibrium.
5. This is the same shot as the previous one and we see the secondary
character pick up the wrong bag and walk off. The protagonist is
distracted by the ball that was kicked at him so he isn’t able to react.
6. In the next shot we once again used a wide shot to show the
protagonist is alone. During this scene the protagonist looks
at his phone checking the time and then decides to walk off.
7. The next show which we used is a
medium shot and it is used for continuity
to show the protagonist walking away.
8. A wide shot is used to show the protagonist
enter his house still oblivious to the fact that
he is holding the wrong bag in his hand.
9. An close up is used to show the protagonist putting his flip flops on
in his house. This shows that he is an average person living out his
daily life and there is nothing for the audience to be sceptical about.
10. A medium close up is used to show the protagonist putting away his jacket and headphones.
In this scene we start adding in quiet tense music to build tension in this scene as we as
the audience know that he has the wrong bag and we want to find out what is in the bag.
11. A high angle wide shot shows the hallway of the protagonist
and we can also see that the protagonist is entering his
living room with the wrong bag which he picked up.
12. A worms eye view is used to show the bag being placed on the
table. This is leading up to the scene where the protagonist opens
the bag. This has been done to create further suspense and tension.
13. A medium close up is used to show the protagonist opening the bag in order to bring out
some books so that he can do his work. However the audience know that the bag which he is
opening isn’t his.
14. A close up is used to show the shock on
the protagonists face as he realises that
the bag has a brick of cocaine inside it.
In this scene the music starts
to progressively get louder and
it makes the scene more tense.
15. In this scene we see the protagonist holding his face wondering what to do.
This is shown by a medium close up and a series of jump cuts remaining in
the same position show the protagonist wondering what to do.
16. A wide shot shows the protagonist reacting
to the ringtone which is coming from inside
the bag. He gets up to answer the phone.
From inside the bag a diegetic sound is used to show
that a ringtone is playing from inside the bag. It is
not an iPhone ringtone but a classical ringtone
which tells the audience that it is a cheap old phone.
17. An extreme close up is used to show the phone which the
protagonist picked up from inside the bag. On the screen of
the phone we see someone is calling using a private number.
18. A medium close up is used to show the protagonist answering the phone. A
deep voice tells the protagonist to meet him in an alleyway behind his house.
And then ends the call abruptly without letting the protagonist speak.
19. A wide shot was used in this scene to show the protagonist’s conscious’ talking to him.
The left one is telling him to deliver the drugs and one of them is telling him to call the
police.
20. A wide shot is used to show the protagonist reacting to the police cars who are
stopping outside his house. In this shot the audience see the protagonist
panicking and running out of the living room with the bag of drugs in his hand.
Diegetic sound is used for the police sirens and also
the noise of car skidding as it parks. This adds an
effect to the scene that the protagonist is in trouble.
21. A medium close up is used to show the protagonist running upstairs to hide the drugs.
Throughout this scene non-diegetic score music is playing to
make the scene more tense and add suspense to the scene. Also
there is diegetic sound when the policeman bangs on the door.
22. A medium close up is used in this scene to show the protagonist hide the drugs under his
bed.
The non-diegetic score music in this scene gets even
more intense creating more and more tension.
23. A POV shot is used to show the protagonist getting chased by a policeman.
24. Shot reverse shot is used to show the conversation between the protagonist and the
interrogator.
25. Using a close up we pan the camera from the face of the protagonist down to the bag of
cocaine which reveals to the protagonist that there is something more than just drugs in the
bag. However the audience don’t get to see what is inside the bag ending the 5 minute film
with a cliff-hanger.
