Final Draft of Script with Shot Type Annotations


Shot 1.) 
- Long Shot of the characters speaking to show relationship between them, shows how far they are positioned from each other and allows body positions and body language to show the power balance between the two characters. 
- Kevin's stance shows the type of mental state he is in, presenting him at this point in the script weak rather than demonic. The positioning of the guard will show how he reacts to the presence of Kevin.

Shot 2.) 
- Close-Up of Kevins face to show cold, evil facial expression. Shows youth being represented as demonic and evil.
- Shows Kevin's features have slightly progressed in age since the last film but it is still evident that he is aged under 21
- Facial expression shows a twisted hatred presenting youth to be violent and evil

Shot 3.) 
- Low Angle Shot of Kevin as he jumps over the table to show that he is dominant and controls the power in this shot
- Shows youth to be animalistic as Kevin clears the obstacle in his path, reinforces the idea of youth being violent

Shot 4.)
- POV shot of pencil going into the guards neck from Kevins' Point of View
- Shows the actions of Kevin, steady shot will be used to show the true evil of youth as Kevin remains completely calm and composed whilst carrying out this act

Shot 5.)
- Low Angle Shot from kevins' feet as he speaks to show his power and the guards perspective
- Low angle allows the camera to show Kevin's joy in being able to address somebody he is going to kill
- Shows true darkness of Kevin's personality as it shows him revelling in his actions

Shot 6.)
- Over the shoulder shot of Kevin pulling the pencil from the guard
- Over the shoulder allows both Kevins' perspective but also the view of an onlooker to scared to face the action head on
- Shows onlookers opinion of Kevin, representation of youth to the public

Shot 7.) 
- Medium Close Up of Kevin so we can see his top half and thighs as he slides gun into his waistband

Shot 8.) 
-Close-Up of Kevins face while speaking to show the joy he takes in delivering this monologue and the joy he takes in being watched

Shot 9.) 
- Long Shot of Kevin walking through the door to show his isolation but also the distance between Kevin and normal humans, so that the viewers find it hard to relate to him therefore making him a more frightening character


Location Report

This is the exterior of the prison which Kevin will walk out of at the end of the scene, this would be done at night time so there was no light and the building would look dark and sinister. I felt this building was an appropriate choice as the cold stone walls and the high up windows give a strong feel of being trapped and the way out being too far out of their reach. This building is in fact a church at the top of West Hill, Dartford but it is a distance from the roads so no traffic or public will be in my shots which is why i chose it.

I chose this as the reception for my prison, i chose it as the floor has a dirty worn down look and feel. For my 9 Key Frames i will dress the set by placing a folder and a laptop on the desk to add an heir of professionalism to the room. A small plastic chair will also be added for the guard to sit on, plastic chair will be used as it is easy to kick away during the death scene.

This is the security camera from the reception area, it will be the camera that Kevin looks directly into as he delivers his monolgue. when i dress the set i will use a non-permanent pen to make this camera appear more old and aged as at the moment it does not match the rundown feel of the reception area.

This is the full view of the reception area, when i take my 9 Key frames i will dress the set by covering up all of the plants and trees as they do not match the feel of the room. this will create the desolate feel that is desired for the scene that i have depicted in my script. 



There are no health and safety issues involved in using any of the above locations that i have depicted, the church is far away from any roads and is in a safe area so doing any sorts of filming or photography at night will hold no possible negative consequences. The reception area has no features that could cause physical injury either to myself or any actors that i will be using.
