'Abandoned Hope' Shot List by Shahina Begum and Tom Wallbank

Shot 1- A medium shot of a abandoned warehouse, for about 20 seconds at dusk to add atmosphere and to show where the opening sequence will take place, but not reveal the story.

Shot 2- Extreme close-up of a list of names. Half of them crossed out with thick black marker pen, to add atmosphere. The killer will be behind a desk, all that the audience can see are his hands to create an enigma.

Shot 3- Extreme close-up of the “man’s” hands cutting and gluing pictures of people; to make the audience confused and play with their minds. Will have shadows due to low key lighting. 

Shot 4- A whip-pan round to a close up of a victim (the next persons name on the list) feet and legs tied up with rope.

Shot 5- Close-up of the victim’s bloodshot eye with tears. This creates emotion within the audience. 

Shot 6- A long shot of the victim to reveal his horrified non-verbal communication. 

Shot 7- A tracking/panning shot of the shadow of the obsessive man walking towards the victim in the chair.

Shot 8- A loud screeching noise to the credits (Abandoned Hope.)
