Film Idea: Chase

The shot list I’ve just finished is for an idea I had for a short. I really should have done a script first but when there’s no dialogue and nothing much actually happing it’s pretty hard to write out what you have in you head in script format. Since the entire idea comes straight from the location I can only properly explain it with a storyboard anyway.

The idea is: a man is running though a bunch of corridors being chased by another man who you can’t see his face because his hood is up. The guy with the hood catches the other guy and beats him up. He steps back and pulls off his hood revealing that is actually the same guy. He walks away but the other guy gets up only now his hood is up and he chases after that guy.

Pretty simply. So simple, in fact, that I have no excuse not to just go and film it.

I got the idea because to get to a friend of mine‘s apartment you have to go though a bunch of corridors that are like a maze.

I’m going to go take pictures of all the camera angles I want and draw sick figures into them for storyboards because my drawing skills leave a lot to be desired.
