Initial Shot List and Shooting Script

This is the completed initial shot list and shooting script for our teaser trailer made after our research. For inspiration for the shots we looked through our research (here) and (here) as well as watching entire films of our chosen genre, such as Oceans 11, its remake and its sequels and also both versions of the Italian Job among others. This was particularly important was we needed to make sure that our shot choices were indicative of our genre as well as following the conventions of real teaser trailers, even more so as we were planning on adding some homage aspects to these films in to our production.
Shots 20a-j haven't got a set order yet as at the time of posting, we had not made a final decision on the order in which we wanted them and that would best fit the feel of the trailer.

Any amendments and changes we had, or felt we had, to make, including the finalised order for shots 20a-j will be posted after we have completed our filming.
