This is the completed movie my group and I made (Julian, Millie, Lauren and I). We each put effort into it, worked together well and we are happy with how it turned out. Lauren came into our group late, but I am very happy with how she helped and cooperated with the group. It was a very fun task, but took a lot of time and effort to get completed. We discussed the idea of the film for a while, trying to come up with something that would make sense fit into 1minute and without sound. That took a while, but we eventually got there and hopefully it does make sense. Some of the shots we took had to be retaken multiple times because the camera would shake, Lauren would start laughing or something else would go wrong. But we shot everything in a reasonable amount of time and had enough time to finish editing it. The whole group stayed back after class into lunch to finish the editing. The work was evenly split up between us. Millie did a bit of the filming at the start, Julian did the lighting, filmed a bit and came up with the base idea that we worked on. I filmed a bit, brought in most of the props, directed a bit and wrote the shot list, and Lauren did the acting as she wasn't here for the first 4 weeks of term, meaning she hadn't learnt the rule of thirds, mise-en-scene and everything else as well as we had. It was a bit stressful trying to get everything done and edited and be happy with it all, but we did it and had extra time left over to get Mr Andrews to give us some tips on how to make it better. It turned out well and I'm very happy with how we did.
The shot list/planning I wrote for the movie can be seen below:

3.

corner, sees someone fleeing around another corner, sees this person drop a key
4.

the key, holds it next to a picture of the key (shows it’s the same one/the one
they needed)
5.

We had to change the shot list a bit as we didn't have the correct props/we wanted it to make a but more sense, but it is basically the same. We also had to change some of the costumes worn as we forgot to bring in one or two of the items needed.
I created another shot list to follow, though it is still not completely accurate to what we completed. It can be seen below.
Shots:
1. Collage of newspaper clippings shown – zoom in, zoom out
2. Shot of Lauren running through door at top of stairs
3. Shot of Julian running down stairs - drops something
4. Lauren walks down the stairs - picks up the bag and takes key out
5. Cuts to her searching through a desk - different angled shots
6. Finds image of key
7. Shot of the key next to the image of the key
8. Show the reaction of the detective
9. Walks out of the room
10. Gun appears at her head
11. White flash
12. Shot of the arm, implying they are dead
13. Shot of the shooter walking away - only their back
