Shot List Plan

Establishing Shot:

Before each scene that takes place in a different location, I will include a short establishing shot of the location - e.g for the clips that take place in the O2 Academy, I will take a daytime shot of the exterior of the venue - the shot will be during the day as so that it is clear what the venue is. There will also be an establishing shot of the outside of my friend's house - the area in which most of the documentary takes place.

Interview Shots

During the interview scenes, I will use a variety of different shots- using more than one camera. These shots include mid-shots for the main camera - the use of the mid shot allows the audience to see more than just the person being interviewed - the bedroom in which my friend is interviewed in has the walls covered in band posters, linking to the purpose and genre of the documentary; the shot will have the interviewee centre in the shot, facing the camera. For the second camera, I will have a close up of the interviewee talking from the side (whilst the other camera is still filming) so that I have the interviews from different perspectives. When editing, I will cut between the two camera angles and edit the second camera into black and white for creative effect (something I have seen in many documentaries). I will also film an establishing-like shot of the bedroom of the interviewee (showing the band posters and concert tickets); the shot will pan around the room and when editing, will have audio from the interview laid over it. These extra features will make the interview scenes more interesting, instead of a single, unedited clip of someone being interviewed.

Time Lapse

In order to avoid a large gap between the interviews/everyday life scenes and the concert footage, I intend to include a time lapse of the journey from my friend's house to the concert venue, with the song "Weighted" by "Frnkiero andthe Cellabration" edited along side it. This scene will include video clips, along with images took at the concert. At a certain instant in the song, the scene will cut to the same song being performed during the concert.
