Breakdown of Shots

To further our planning progress the group began to outline specific individual scenes and more clear ideas for frames and camera movements to help us when it came to filming. It also will be a helpful guide during the editing process as it shows a more detailed structure in addition to the one we developed following the production of our treatment, script and storyboard. We anticipated as well that we needed to be able to show an audience that the 'time-loop' was in effect, so laying out out potential shot sequences meant we could be more efficient and not film certain scenes multiple times. This helped for initial filming ideas but also was flexible for us to adapt as we wanted when filming.
