Shot list 2

We made some changes to what's going to happen in the film, so I redrafted the Shot List, I think it is more detailed than it needs to be but it will help when we're writing a detailed script.
  1. The camera descends from above on him. Tilting camera movement down from ceiling of the room to viewing him in a medium close up shot from behind the computer. 
  2. Close up of Detective 1’s face. Looking searchingly at the computer screen.
  3. We see a quick point of view shot of the computer. Before switching to the scene of what he is seeing on his computer screen.
  4. The first shot is a close up of the kidnapper’s boots walking slowly making a loud echoed boot hoofed/heeled sound. Dolly camera movement with the boots as the person walks. The ground on which he walks is black and wet. The background is also dark with flickering dim lighting.
  5. The next shot is an over the shoulder shot over the kidnapper who has on a black hoody pulled up. You can see the daughter tied to a chair under a light to who she is approaching. The child seeing the kidnapper approaching begins struggling fearfully.(Could be music at this point of kidnappers approach)
  6. There is now a mid shot of the wife in which the kidnapper walks past. Wife looks at kidnapper desperate for mercy, begins to beg kidnapper for mercy.
  7. The next shot is over the shoulder of the kidnapper who has now stopped in front of the girl. Camera is in line with the daughter’s face, who is now frozen with fear looking up at the kidnapper, terrified. (music would stop at this point, if any) In the background wife sobbing and begging can still be heard.
  8. Maybe a close up of knife as kidnapper draws it out, its movements followed with daughter blurred in the background (wife can still be heard begging and pleading the background)
  9. Shot with knife in the foreground now focused to daughter terrified in the background.
  10. Close up shot of the kidnapper putting knife to daughter’s neck. Daughter is terrified.
  11.    Blackout
  12. Back in the office. Extreme Close up of Detective 1’s eyes looking bewildered with tears in his eyes at computer screen. Slowly zooms out to a close up of his whole face. Detective 2’s hands come slowly on his shoulders. She attempts to reassure him.
  13. Master Shot of the detectives. Detective 1 angry and upset rises from the table shoving off Detective 2’s hands and walking out; out of view of the camera and then quickly across it again, leaving Detective 2 in the shot alone.
  14. Wide shot of door slamming as Detective 1 walks out.
  15. BLACKOUT
I've highlighted the main parts more about the camera shots, angle and movement than the actual story.
