Planning - Shot List

We have decided to add a section to our music video before the music starts, as we feel this will increase our audience's interest in the narrative element of our video. We are undecided yet as to whether this will include the diagetic sound or whether it will just be in silence. The extra part to our narrative that we have added is included at the start of our list:

1) Before the music starts, we plan for a letter to fall through a letter-box. This will be birds-eye shot. Then a fade up to the vocalist 2 seconds (0.02) with us using a zoomed in high angle shot from the balcony 9 seconds (0.11)
