P1 ANNOTATING A SCREENPLAY

TASK

The screenplay describes the action and dialogue of a scene but will not normally refer to camerawork or editing. These decisions will be left to the director to make. A first step into breaking down scenes into sequences of particular shots will be to annotate the screenplay directly, dividing it up into segments that will be shot as individual camera set-ups.

Taking the extract from the first episode of BBCs Luther, annotate the script dividing up the sequence into as many different shot-types as you think appropriate to tell the story.
