The organisers of the Metro Screen first break program emphasised that film is a visual medium and any materials in the submission that showed the visual direction of the film would be welcome. At first I tried to do storyboards for the film, but a very effective combination of having no drawing ability, and the lack of time made me try a different approach: a shot list.
What I found out was that doing the shot list well was nearly as much as half the work of doing the script. The need to visualise each and every shot to tell the story well was a challenge, but a welcome one. You exist purely in a world of imagination and pictures.
Please check out the Shot List.
Also read the original script, and the supporting material for the short film Omission.
