Changes to the idea




So new synopsis= To start off i have picked idea 2 (Number seven), many reasons behind this, I believe the story may appeal to events that could happen in real life, its also quite an interesting take, to show how people cope with being alone, or losing everyone they loved. I am thinking about having an establishing shot of the road he live on, the shot will look up into the sky and slowly drop down to reveal the road lined with houses both sides. Then a still shot of his house to highlight that fact. Then shots straight into the house, all different rooms until finally it gets to his bedroom, where he is either lying there asleep or getting dressed. He will be wearing a black suit to make the audience question why, maybe his work, maybe a funeral, or just his style of clothing. Then shots of him walking down the stairs to the door, as the door is closing the shot will blur out to reveal him walking up the path, of that appears to be a cemetery. Different angles of him walking down the path, then he will stop at a gravestone, clutching a picture in his hand and some 3 feathers with. Then a shot of his face holds it for 3-6 seconds. After the still shot the camera will slowly blur out to reveal the name of the movie with a picture of his family as the background.




New Shot by shot list



  1. Opening shot of the sky, slowly going down to reveal a road with houses either side. I am aiming for a clear with some clouds in the sky, to reinforce the average every day street.
  2. A shot of just his house, to highlight that this is the key characters/character house.
  3. A shot of his bedroom, A shot of him through his door, looking at him putting his shirt on.
  4. A shot of him doing his buttons up, also revelling some serious injuries to the body.
  5. A shot him putting his blazer on, then to a shot of him putting his shoes on.
  6. A shot of him walking down the stairs ( from two different angles) all the way to the door and when the door is being opened as soon as like shines through the door this shot will then blur out.
  7. (blur in)  A shot of the sky going down to reveal a shot of the man walking up a path, what seems to be a cemetery with gravestones scattered around the place.
  8. Different variety of shots (far away,close,shot of the sky down to him walking etc) to show him walking through the cemetery, until he arrives at a this one certain Gravestone
  9. Shots of him standing there from different angles and distances.
  10. Then a shots of him putting the 3 feathers on gravestone to represent the three names on the stone, a feather is a very symbolic image. I am aiming to use it as a sign of cowardliness, when he could of done something to intervene with the people that killed his family, and he is now putting the white feather back to show he is ready to stand up and stop being a coward.
  11. A POV or over the shoulder shot of him placing the feathers down at the left side of the gravestone.
  12. Then a shot of him kissing his fingers then placing them on each of the feathers
  13. Another shot of him standing over the grave whilst wiping away tear.
  14. A still shot in-front of the character of his face for 3-6 seconds
