Shot List (including examples of shot)

Establishing Shots

The film will open with a series of establishing shots of iconic Belfast locations in order to set the scene of the film.

Very Wide Shot

Although we will have already used establishing shots, this shot acts an establishing shot to the film plot itself. We are going to use this extreme wide shot to show how empty and barren the wasteland is, that the rookie cop is at, in order to make him feel more alone and vulnerable. The subject is going to be in the centre of the frame, with the wide shot then zooming in.

Medium Long Shot

This shot will be used as an establishing shot for the poolhall. The chief is going to be shown in the frame from the knees up, and then shown in relation to his surroundings i.e the snooker table and snooker balls. He will be in the middle of the frame as he is still the main focus.

Midshots

A series of midshots are going to be used in order to show the exchange of dialogue between the rookie cop and the police chief during their phone call. These midshots will be taken from a variety of different angles to ensure that the footage doesn't seem too stagnant.

Back Shot 

A back shot will be used to show the area in front of and around the subject, the rookie cop.

Tracking Shots

A series of tracking shots, which will track the moving subject throughout the frame, are going to be used in order to add life to what would otherwise be static shots of the subjects simply standing and speaking.

Low Angled Close-Up Noddy Shot

This shot will be used to accentuate the rookie cop's emotions and show his reaction to the news he's being told. The low angled shot will hopefully make him seem more vulnerable.

Panning Shot

The panning shot is going to be used to build suspense and introduce us to the second character at the docks, the drug dealer. The juxtaposition of the bright lighting of the rookie cop and the shadowy figure of the dealer contrasts their moral intentions.

Over the Shoulder Tracking Shot

This shot will be used in order to follow the dealer as he approaches the rookie cop. The dealer is at the centre of the frame.

Shot Reverse Shot

Will be used to show the exchange of dialogue between the rookie cop and the dealer.

Two shot

Both subjects will be in the centre of the frame. The single midshot will make the dialogue seem more strained and tense due to the lack of cuts.

Extreme Close-Up Noddy Shot

This shot will be used to analyze the reaction of the rookie cop as he scrutinizes the dealer, before recoiling in shock as he realizes he has a gun.

POV Shot

This shot is going to be used in order to show us exactly what the rookie cop is seeing as he analyses the drug dealer. The POV shot will also capture the full subject, of the drug dealer, in the frame, as he fires the gun, which any other shot won't really allow us to do.

High Angled Panning Shot

This shot will used as an establishing shot to the bar scene. The panning is there to shift the focus of the frame, from the newspaper to the young officer.

Midshot

A variety of midshots are going to be used to display the young officer's actions at the bar, from his lighting of a cigar to him reaching for his phone.

Insert Shot

This shot type will be used to show the text received by the chief.
