This scene represents our film by the fact that it’s a low angle shot that represent the scene in our film where the man is standing over his victim. Although in this film the man is grabbing onto his tie, in our film it should be him pointing a gun at his victim.

This is the sort of shot we want for our mystery man watching his victim, we want an over the shoulder feel shot with virtually no dead space on one side of the screen. 

We want this shot to show the mystery man approaching his victim using the shadows to his advantage, to get the best possible surprise attack on him. 

This is almost the same as the one above, except with the man being a little bit closer to the victim and they have noticed his presence.

This is the scene where the mystery man shoots the victim; we want this sort of idea to carry over into our film. We want it too be so that the audience is staring directly at the victim but with the gun in the frame as well.

Plot Synopsis

 

As the logo and all the titles (barring the actual film title) appear and slowly fade away, we are introduced to the first scene of a man hiding in the shadows watching another man.  This then cuts to another shot of the man hiding behind a street corner as the other man slowly walks out of the shot. It then changes to a close up of the man walking away and the mystery man begins walking behind him. As the mystery man approaches the man in the foreground notices the man trailing him. A chase is then set in motion as the mystery man follows his “prey. Part of the scene is then filmed in the reflection of a car mirror, the chase continues until the “prey” reaches a dead end street. The mystery man pulls out a gun and a close up of the gun is shown as well as the gun shot is heard at the same time as the close-up. The camera then cuts to a shot of the “prey” laid on the floor, dead. This cuts to a low angle medium shot of the mystery man. The scene starts to fade away and eventually fades to black. This is then the cue for the film title to appear, which then disappears to show the dead body still lying there. It cuts to a shot of a mans feet and the camera begins to pan up his body. The camera passes up over his body until it reaches his face and shows he is looking at the body. The man then reaches into his jacket pocket, and pulls out his glasses and proceeds top put them on.
