Document Summary
Recorded in front of a live audience. Paragraph that describes what scene is about. Gives general overview to what scene is about. Important that director outlines what he wants effectively. What: many camera positions are very low using a wide-angled lens. Most of the action is choreographed within a static frame. Occasionally the director uses traditional establishing shots and close ups typical of the genre. Why: these shots normally make the principal performer appear to be dominant and important. In this case however, the wide angle, low camera position distorts the ill-fitting cowboy boots of the performer and makes him seem comical and uncomfortable. The director is paying tribute to a genre of cowboy picture in order to show the absurdity of his protagonist in comparison to traditional cowboy heroes. Prepared at end of planning, placed near front of package so that basic production info is easily accessible. All info should be filled out completely in top portion of form.
