MMSP145 - Shot List Exercise

American Psycho Script: http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/american_psycho_unproduced.html

I used the following introductory paragraph of the script to create a personal shot list totaling 5 shots:
"Enormous grey buildings, cold and impersonal, reach up to the sky. HOMELESS PEOPLE lay passed out on the sidewalk, in doorways, on benches. A grotesque disfiguration on an otherwise perfect, gleaming surface, they beg for food, for change - anything. Pathetic and broken, they are ignored by Wall Street's ruling class."

1) Long-shot, worm's eye view of enormous grey buildings

2) Mid-shot, eye-level view of homeless people

3) Close-up, high-view of homeless person on bench

4) Extra-long-shot, eye-level of Wall St. buildings contrasted by begging homeless

5) Mid-long-shot, high-view angle behind Wall St. businessman as he ignores and walks past homeless man


Edit: Finally found time to scan, so here is the uploaded storyboard image originally attached to the shot list.
