In order to be prepared for filming my drama piece, I wanted to map out all of the shots and how I would like the scene to go ahead. As my scene is an interview, I don't want to use shots that are too daring or uncommon for a simple scene like this because it won't go with the setting and will mean that the audience miss out on some of the emotion from the characters. I decided to keep most of my shots as over the shoulders or medium shots when the characters are in conversation and close into them as the scene goes on to create some suspense and drama. For my own directorial input I have decided to do an element of split screen which will entails shooting medium shots of Nigel and Susan and editing them side by side so that both can be seen in the frame. In terms of my storyboards I went for a more diagrammatical approach as I find people quite challenging to draw in detail and felt like there was no need for that for me to understand what each frame was showing. In all of my descriptions, I stated what the shot would be and where the characters would be placed so that It would be easy for me to set up each frame. I also included small stage directions for myself that I took from the script so that I knew what action points to include and where the lines would come in. Shot List:
