Research and Development
A major detail and problem was faced when developing our story. For the group meetings my whole group all said the story plot and opening was good. They had great information to give and small details to address but nothing major. HOWEVER, when my partner, Sebas, came back from his project he looked almost frightened. Sebas told me that for our major portion of the opening and Film storyline in general we couldn't use "Stalking"... Oh my goodness! That wasn't our whole plot but it was near close to it.
We urgently went to Mrs. Stoklosa. I asked her of this and she did say we couldn't use it but the matter wasn't as detrimental as we thought. Moving on, she told us we could pretty much keep everything the same and eliminate the shots that we thought brought the feeling of stalking. The plot then stayed the same and we changed the "sort of kidnapping" to the protagonist being harmed by the stranger in his own house. We felt like this was possibly even better?
Here is the altered version of the shot list I made from my partners original.
Shot 1: Establishing long shot
Shows the entrance of the house and then a long shot of pool party.
Shot 2: High-angle long shot
Shows another angle of the pool party .
Shot 3: Medium shot
Shows focus on two people who are friends and also shows the background of the party.
Shot 4: Wide shot
Shows people jumping into the pool.
Shot 5: Multiple medium shots
