Shooting Script

Filming will be split into three sections.


  • Interior shots
  • street shots 
  • alley shots

Firstly we will film all of the interior shots for our film. This will happen in Aiden's bedroom. The room will be made to look something like this in order to suit the film, and give off certain connotations about the character Barry who will be seen in the room. 



  1. First shot to be filmed will be the over the shoulder shot of Barry putting on his jacket. In the background the window with the newspaper on will be visible in order to ensure that the audience see it.
  2. Next we will film the shot of Barry sat on the edge of his bed putting on his shoes. The shot will focus on his shoes and then move up over his head. This will be done by fixing the camera to a tripod and steadily moving over his head.
  3. Then we will film the shot of Barry leaving his house. This will be done using Aiden's front door.
  4. Next we will film the insert shot of Barrys hand locking the door.
  5. Then we will film a few pieces that we may/may not use, such as inserts of tin foil and drugs.

Then we will travel to the second filming location which is about 5 minutes away. Here we will film the street shots. The street is poor looking to again give off certain impressions about the films genre and its characters.


  1. The first shot we will film is of Barry walking down his path. This is when Paddy will spot barry. The sequence will continue as Barry turns his head to look at Paddy before beginning to run. 
  2. Next we will film Paddy's close up as he shouts at Barry. 
  3. Then we will re-film Barry turning to look and then beginning to run, until he runs past the camera followed closely by Paddy
  4. Then we will follow Barry running using a pan shot.
  5. Then using a free hand shot we will create an over the shoulder shot from Paddys point of view, as he runs, with Barry in the focus running away.
  6. Next we will shoot the insert shot of Paddys cigarette falling to the floor and Barry and Paddy running past.
  7. Next the camera will move along side each character as they run.
  8. Then we will film Barry tripping over the pedestrian at the entrance to the alley.

Then we will film the alley shots. These will include both scenes from the chase and scenes from the deal that Paddy does during the titles.


  1. First we will film the medium long shot of the character approaching Paddy to do the drug deal. The camera will keep running as the drug deal commences.
  2. Then we will film the insert shot of Paddy taking some money from the person and handing him his drugs. 
  3. Then we will film from a stationary camera as Barry and Paddy run by.
  4. Next we will film the shot of Barry turning a corner to then be faced by a choice of direction which causes him panic
  5. Close up of Barry turning his head to then be punched in the face by paddy.
  6. Next we will film a medium/long shot of Paddy stamping on Barry. At this point we will apply the fake blood and mud to Toms head to ensure Barry looks right
  7. Next we will film Paddy dragging Barry up off of the floor.
  8. Paddy slaps the dazed Barry and says his final lines as the camera goes round the back of his head.
