Updated Shot List - Trailer 1

I have a refined and improved my original short list by removing shots that felt unnecessary or didn't fit into the order of the trailer, whilst simultaneously adding a few shots to make the trailer flow well and make it clear to audiences what is happening in the narrative, in the most exciting way possible. In a later post I will share my final updated shot list in the order I want to shoot my trailer, so when it comes to filming I know exactly what I am doing (in conjunction with my storyboard). 

The shots I have added to my trailer include:

• Medium shot of protagonist listening to news whilst eating breakfast 
• Close up of his face - shocked at the news
• Close up on phone ringing - EMERGENCY ONLY
• Medium close up of protagonist listening to phone call which is his call back to duty
• Medium shot of protagonist picking letter of floor
• Over shoulder shot of opening it up
• Close up of the image inside the letter of his wife - who is “the link”
• Medium close up of protagonist on phone listening to final words of call - ‘she needs to be eliminated’ 

Other shots added, that are used throughout BUT aren’t linked to one another:

• Close up of female protagonist pulling book out of collection 
• Close up of male protagonist using binoculars 
• Medium shot of female protagonist looking over wall
• Medium close up of female protagonist looking at an injection sinisterly  
• Medium close up of protagonist using torch 
• Medium shot of protagonists in car, engaging in serious conversation
