Group Planning: Shot Lists

Above is the shot list which our group used in order to shoot our scenes for our soap. When planning the shortlist we focused on a range of close ups which would be used in order to introduce the characters within our soap. As I took over the role of director when we was filming I decided to not go by the shortlist as I felt that some of the shots did not suit the scenes, as the previous footage for our drug scene used many mid and long shots and had very bright lighting as it was shot in the sun; I decided to change this as it did not focus on the drugs or the issue. I also chose not use the shot list as we chose not to film our pub scene, which was also a main scene within our soap. The reason for this was because their was too much risk involved within the scene. As we did not use the shot list myself as director and Seb Hall as camera man,decided what shots to use for the footage whilst recording on set. Despite the late change, I feel that we manage to capture very good shots which provided realistic lighting which met the soap opera conventions.
