The final aspect of our planning is to write a comprehensive shot list for every single possible shot we plan to film. A shot list is a full list of all the shots that are part of your film, with detailed information for each of them. Creative shot choices aside, it’s easy to forget that a shot list is a strategic document. Creating a shot list is essentially like creating a shooting game plan for the day. Here's our friend Darius with a reminder of the different shot types and angles:   Here are some top tips for writing a shot list:   Task: Write your shot list Write a  shot list  containing  EVERY  shot you plan to film for your extract  AND  additional shots to create flexibility when editing.

Remember, mise-en-scene is a French term meaning, ‘what is in the scene’ or, literally, 'putting on stage'. It refers to everything you see within the frame in film and television. The mise-en-scene sets the mood of the scene and offers clues to character and theme. Audiences have certain expectations of mise-en-scene depending on genre - which means we need to plan it carefully to show our extract is Science Fiction. We use the mnemonic  CLAMPS  to remember mise-en-scene: Costume Lighting Actor placement and movement Make-up Props Setting This video goes into A Level or Film School depth but is well worth 10 minutes to understand the power of mise-en-scene:   Blog task: Mise-en-scene planning Create a blogpost planning  everything  that will appear in front of the camera in your two-minute Science Fiction TV drama extract.

Doctor Who: Amy Pond meets Amelia Pond   Narrative:  How is the story communicated to the audience? What do you think will happen next? Can you apply Todorov's theory of equilibrium to this clip? A young female named Amelia Pond walks through the hallway of a museum mysteriously, her facial expressions give a sense of her being lost, not knowing where she is. She continues to make her way around this place and ends up finding a massive black box. As she finds this the tension starts to build and the music gets louder. Todorov's theory is used in this clip ; equilibrium as of when she's walking around discovering the place and disequilibrium ; once she meets her younger self and the box opens with a bright light.

The Cure Introduction My science fiction TV show will be named 'The Cure' and will be about a young girl named Harneet catching a contagious disease. The narrative will essentially be based on the Protagonist wanting to find a cure to the disease that has been spreading and affecting people immensely but unfortunately ends up catching it herself after a student 'accidentally' spills some of the solution on her arm.

I will be filming in the hours of 5-6/7 to get the sunset misty vibe since it will complement the science fiction genre and mystery well. My second location is a science lab. A variety of camera shots will be us
