Shooting script

Close ups
l        When the therapist and Lennie are talking to each other the camera focuses in to show Lennie’s facial expressions to set the scene and mood.
l        When Lennie looks into the mirror, once again to focus on facial expressions.
l        Ben punching his fist, no background wanted or face because we wanted the audience to concentrate purely on the fists.
l        Lennie looking outside the window, this is because the picture then changes to a close up of the protagonist, it’s used to jump and thrill the audience.
Mid-shot
l        The therapist answers the door and when she says goodbye, we wanted to set the mise-en-scene and create a formal feel by setting the scene in a modern room with a professional look.
l        When Lennie is walking around the house during the opening title sequence, used to set the scene, have the audience establish this is a lived in house.
 
Reverse shot
l        Therapist talking the Lennie from off screen, this is so the audience purely focus on Lennie and note her reactions also because a flash back takes place and there is no confusion as to who the flash back is for.
 
Match-on-action
l        When Lennie walks through the door on the dream sequence, this is to make the audience feel as thought they’ve walked through the door as well.
 
180 degree rule
l        Dream sequence as Lennie walks through the door, this is so the audience feel as though they are with the antagonist and can look at their surroundings.
