ABSTRACT

The director has planned the following shots for Scene 1 and he has further planned to shoot them in this order:

Wide angle of whole scene (master)

Tight 2-s Fred and Mabel at sink

MCU tap and hand

CU dressing going on to finger

CU Fred wincing

MCU cupboard – tin being removed

MS Mabel looking pleased with pie

2-s Fred and Mabel at door

Without being able to show the action in the master shot, I shall try to describe it as fully as possible. When actually doing the continuity for the master, you should have written or noticed as much of the following as possible. There are some obvious pitfalls and important things to notice for the other angles and I have mentioned these where necessary. 1. Wide angle (W/A). 2. Tight two shot (Tight 2-s). 3. Medium close-up tap and hand (MCU tap and hand). 4. Close-up plaster (CU plaster). 5. Close-up Fred (CU Fred). 6. Medium close-up cupboard (MCU cupboard). 7. Mid-shot Mabel (MS Mabel). 8. Two shot at door (2-s at door). https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780080503059/41f410fb-eb42-48d6-aa53-7cff38a2ebd8/content/figU115_1_C.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
