Updated Shot List - Adding More Comic Elements to Signify Action-Comedy
I have updated my shot list again as I have decided to change a few shots and introduce some new parts to the scene to try and subtly introduce comedic elements. This will be done mostly through highlighting my protagonist's lack of sharpness because he has been out of the game for so long.
First Scene:
- Extreme close up of alarm clock displaying 8:00 AM and the alarm going off
- Cut to protagonist rubbing his eyes and groaning
- Close up of hand slapping alarm
- Medium shot facing bed - protagonist sits up into frame
- Ground level shot of feet hitting the floor
- Tracking shot of protagonist walking towards door
- Medium shot of protagonist stretching hands above head
- Close up on protagonist holding his back as it's sore
Show reactions after doing everything
- Cut directly to the montage scene
Second Scene (montage): 3 shots on everything roughly
- Medium shot of protagonist doing sit ups - front on (shallow focus) making noises, coming down into frame
- Close up on feet running - ground level
- Slow trucking shot of protagonist running on treadmill
- Close up on wiping sweat away on face
- Long shot of protagonist cleaning cameras - loose framing
- Close up on brush end on camera
- Close up on face showing full effort
- Medium shot/over-the-shoulder shot of protagonist kneeling by a car, fixing the tyres with tools beside him - tight framing
- Medium close up of car being polished (reflection of his face seen)
Third Scene:
Music turns from non-diegetic to diegetic, ironic statement because of song
- Close up on burnt toast popping out of toaster
- Same angle, camera switched around, cut to his face - annoyed at his lack of competence
- Cut to close up of milk being poured into coffee by coffee machine
- Cut to his face - annoyed
- Medium shot of protagonist sitting at table reading newspaper (see tops of eyes)
- Close up on Alexa “Breaking news from London”
- Close up on protagonist's head lifting up as newspaper goes down and focuses on radio
- Close up on protagonist's intrigued face - “Alexa, volume up”
- Close up on Alexa - “The Ex-head of the Secret Service has been killed, this is a developing story”
- Medium shot of protagonist's frowning eyebrows and him looking around uneasily
Fourth Scene:
- Close up on phone as it buzzes - “Emergency ONLY” seen on screen
- Close up on protagonist's anxious face as he lets the phone ring for a little bit - he knows he's not in the right shape for this
- Protagonist pulls phone out of frame leaving it bare
- Close up on protagonist's face as call answered
- Final line on phone says “You are the only one who is capable of solving the mission”
