Since we need to reshoot our office scene, we created a new script and story board. We wanted to make sure we had a good foundation and much better idea of what we wanted to do in case we again don’t have the time/resources we need. It’ll also help our actors out more since we want this to flow as naturally as possible. I have a feeling we’ll have a much better turn out for what we’re going for.

Our script/storyboard is as follows:

• Dolly out on newspaper from black and door “graphic match”
• Tilt to becca; rack focus from newspaper to her
• Over-the-shoulder and rack focus to tommy taking the paper
• Tilt in the same scene; he says, “what do you think you’re doing, detective?”
• Over-the-shoulder from tommy of becca
  • She says “reading up on a case”
• Over the shoulder shot-reverse-shot back to Tommy/midshot of tommy
  • He says “this is a case meant for real detectives, so why don’t you just go get your nails done or something
    • Pulls out money
  • Same time says “my treat” and throws it at her as he walks away
• Mid/close-up of becca saying “ugh” as she rolls her eyes and turns away to find another newspaper
• Close-up of newspaper as it’s blurry with becca in the back walking towards it as she picks it up
• POV shot of becca picking up newspaper and seeing folder behind it, picks up folder
• Close-up of her behind folders, puts them down as if to realize something and walks out

This here is our super professional storyboard that we made so we can actually visualize the shots we need. We will also be more familiar with our actual office setting, so we will be able to really move around a lot and see what we need to shoot and what angles would be the most appropriate for the tone and message we are going for. We really want to emphasize the oppression on the women detective during this time period, so the angles and dialogue is planned accordingly and well. If we have to reshoot anything after this, I will drop this course. I will be so done.
