 Shot lists

Just like the script we also created a shot list of types of shots and angles we want to include throughout the short film. This list doesn't have a list of all the shots we are going to include, but the most important ones for the film. The order of the shot list matched the script, so we'll easily know what we have to shoot. 

SHOT LIST: 

• Over-the-shoulder shot from the little kid looking at their coach explaining the skill. 

• Mid/long shot of the little kid doing the skill perfectly. 

• Mid/long shot of the rest of the girls doing the same skill just not as good. 

• Same sequence of shots but in another event. 

• Close-ups of the main girl's face shows the excitement of being in the gym. 

• Close-up of the girl rolling their eyes at the girl. 

• Mid shot of them rolling their eyes and showing them getting annoyed at the girl's “perfection”

• (More shots of her as her younger self enjoying gymnastics)

• transition from young to old: showing them doing a skill when they’re younger and zooming into their hands or feet and then when we zoom out they’re older. 

• (Shots of everything getting harder, her friends kinda doing better than her) 

• Over-the-shoulder shot of her looking at a video of a professional gymnast doing what she does. 

• Over-the-shoulder shot of her analyzing the videos of her doing gymnastics. 

• Two-shot of the coach and the girl having a talk. 

• Series of different shots of her practicing on her own to be better and improving on her own. 

• Over-the-shoulder shot of her looking at her phone 

• (Still enjoying gymnastics but kinda falling more and not doing it correctly) 

• Transition from middle to older, showing her falling. 

• Close-ups of her falling (like stick it) 

• Long shot of someone coming in and finding her after practice 

• Two shots of them two having a conversation

• Different sequence of shots showing her crying and talking to herself wondering why she is not good enough. 

• Mid a shot of her having a breakdown with her mom or parents that she can’t do it anymore, yet, her mom forces her. 

• MAYBE: A shot of her and her mom in the car, telling her that she has to keep going and stuff. 

• MAYBE (for the very end, do a close-up with a zoom-in and then put a bunch of flashbacks of when everything was simple and easy and t just ends)
