 nice work, AD Chris!

Shot List: Act One—Beat #2

1. K is lying on the floor with a bottle of vodka by her side.
       a. Aerial medium shot of our girl as she twitches around like a
flounder and sips on a bottle of vodka.
       b. We pan in on her until we get a close up of her face; she mouths
the name of her long lost love “Ivan” to herself and takes another
sip. (We can use a different name if you would like)
       c. We pan out to an aerial medium shot of K as she attempts to rise
up to her feet.
       d. When she succeeds, we do a medium shot as our girl staggers to the
bathroom door, leaving her alcohol behind. We keep the camera in place
until the door shuts. She then stumbles out, picks the bottle back up
and goes where she has just been.
       e. Close up of K’s face as she glances at herself in the mirror,
cringing at her drunken self. We pan down to her hands as she places
her bottle on the sink.
       f. K turns around and we get a mid body shot of her as she climbs
over the tubs walls to the window from the right hand side.
       g. A left hand mid level shot of K as she lifts up the blinds then the window.
       h. Close up exterior shot of K as she squints her eyes trying to
place what she is seeing.
       i. P.O.V. of shadow puppets dancing. Medium shot, we can draw a
window sill around the paper to look like a window.
       j. We go back to a close up of K’s face as she stares on.
       k. Back to the shadow puppets.

2. K is profoundly affected, she races out the hall to go and see V;
her footsteps are steady this time, after all she has just experienced
something traumatic.
       a. Close up of K as she turns around—we are still in the bathroom—
       b. Pan out medium shot of K as she walks towards her door and the camera.
       c. Medium shot of her from the hall as the bathroom door opens and
she walks out her front door to V’s house, again the camera stays
focused shot until our girl’s door shuts.
       d. We follow K with the camera until she arrives at the door to V’s house.
       e. Medium shot of K from behind as she knocks on V’s door. We wait
awhile until we hear V shuffle to the door. V stares out her peep
hole, sighs and says this,
       V—“What do you want?”
f. Close up of K’s face from the right hand side as she says,
K—“I need your help—I saw something and I, I don’t know anybody in
this building but you—please let me in.”
g. Back to a medium shot of K from behind, V says this in response to K,
V—“Oh no, no no. I would never, never, I don’t get involved. I just wa…No no.
h. K sighs, turns around and walks back to her apartment, she trots
towards the camera, which remains in position, V is still talking as K
staggers away.
i. Mid body shot of K from behind as our girl goes through her front
door; again we stay on the door until it shuts.
j. Another medium shot from the hall way as she walks into her bathroom.
k. Close up of K’s hand as she reaches for her vodka on the sink.
l. A floor shot of her as she bends down to get into the tub. She
comes into focus as she crouches down and stumbles into her bath tub.
m. Ariel medium shot of K as she lies in her tub; we pan in on her
face as she hums.
n. Left side medium aerial shot; we pan in on her as she cradle her
bottle and hums, fade out end scene—
End Beat 2
