Sample scene 2: Packing scene - 1st attempt



This is the scene where the Tennis player's partner is leaving him

...
NOTES FOR IMPROVEMENT

  • Mise-en-scene
    • include tennis equipment in the background (racket, bag, water bottle)
    • passport (shot of it being put in the bag)
    • photos of the couple together and the team (have partner pick them up then put them down again, angrily)
    • panning shots of props
    • in wardrobe have clear split of his/her side
    • have a larger suitcase, get a shot of Cathy grabbing everything from one side of the wardrobe and putting it in the suitcase
  • Acting
    • include clearer demonstrations for the actor/actress
    • make it angrier and sadder
      • aggressively throwing clothes into the bag
      • slamming down the photos
      • get a closeup of her face (expression)
    • do a 'final look' around the house (living/kitchen) - more realistic and chance to include more mise-en-scene for exposition
    • Editing
      • bit at the start has very fast-paced editing, but you can't really see the shots because its so fast
      • get some more ELSs to use for establish shots (closer and closer to the house, similar to in Psycho
      • Get shots of the wife entering the car and slamming the door
