Final shot list

1st shot) an over the shoulder shot of a female character called Sarah, looking at a photo, the photo shows Sarah and a Male character called John. the key features of this shot will be the photo and the hair. Much like the shots in 'Another Earth (2011)' the shots of the long hair will emphasise the gender and the innocent stereotypes that come with the female gender. The sound throughout the scenes will be diabetic of the woman sniffing and crying. This will enable the audience to feel for the character, there will also be non diabetic music very silently playing as well, the music will be soft and orchestral to show a link between classic thrillers and our own.

2nd shot) We see a shot of Sarah's face, the shot shows her crying and looking down at the photo, she wipes her eyes from time to time and pushes her hair, this shows that she is trying to overcome the situation. The idea that this character is overcoming a situation allows the audience to become more involved with the plot and the characters. when she pushes her hair back we see an bracelet on her arm, the bracelet shows a cross, this adds religious imagery and leads back to her being innocent (the innocence of christ).

3rd shot) we move to a shot of a metal panel on a grey concrete wall, the metal panel has buttons and is the buttons for an elevator. Sarah's hand reaches into the scene and presses one of the buttons... we see the bracelet again to continue to imagery of her innocence within the scenes. The music still continues to play in the background very quietly. The sounds of machinery and the elevator dominates the music to show corruption. we then see Sarah's waste walk across the screen after a few seconds to show that she is entering the elevator. The wait will add effect to the scene to add urgency to the situation

4th shot) the shot is brighter than the others and we see the characters face and hair lighter than before. the shot is equal to the second shot where we see Sarah's face straight on. Sarah looks happier but slowly deteriorates throughout the scene until she is look as sad as before. whilst she deteriorates we see the scene become dimmer and all sound will slow and become fainter. This will symbolise her change of thoughts from happy to the distressing situation involving the photo.

5th shot) cuts to a long shot of Sarah walking out of the elevators and to the left out of shot. This shot will create the journey link from the evaluator to the home.

6th shot) shows another long shot of a door, we see the character entering her house and closing the door.

7th shot) a tracking shot along a corridor within her house, this tracking shot will link too the tracking shot in 'Jackie Brown', this will show that she is deviant like the character or Jackie Brown. Sarah places her religious bracelet down on a cabinet/table as she is walking, this shows that she is shedding her protection/innocence. We see her walking into her bathroom, the non diabetic music has become louder than before.

8th shot) point of view shot off sarah looking down at the photo from her toilet. A point of view shot allows the audience to become more involved with the situation and allows us to feel the same fear as Sarah feels.After a few seconds we see a figure appear in the entrance. We only see torso and lower body of the man creating suspense. the photo is lowered to show the change of situation. The man in the photo is dressed the same as the man in the bathroom door. The music is still getting louder by this point.

9th shot) the music final hits the climax. we see a side on shot of the mans hand, we know it is him because we see his distinct shirt from the previous shot and photo. within the hand is the religious bracelet. this shows that he now controls her/has her innocence. At this point in very basic font we see the title hit the screen, the font is in yellow to show that we are linking our thriller with most of Quentin Tarantino's thrillers were he uses his classic yellow font.
