The Great Jasper
Kindell: Shrouded in Debt
1) Ext. San Francisco
– Mid day
Title sequence -> Establishing shot
Shot of the
city (San Francisco) Showing off the city environment, it’s dark afternoon and
it’s raining all-round the city. It is then after the title sequence shows that
an establishing shot is directed to a police department panning up into a
balcony and fade into the next scene.
Detective:
(V.O)
“San Francisco. People think it’s a wonderful city,
well they’re wrong. Crime is high and morale is low and the police department
is always in a rush. Not for me however, people don’t need a detective anymore;
they just need your average Joe to put two and two together.”
2) Int. Detective
Jasper Kindell Office Balcony – Mid day
Over the shoulder shot -> long shot
Shot aiming
over the shoulder of the Detective looking out of his offices balcony window,
the camera zoom’s out away from the detective to bring his desk into frame
which shows a picture of his family, cigarette in an ash tray, Whisky in a
glass and the detectives name on the desk which reads “Detective Jasper
Kindell”
Detective: (V.O)
“So I’ve be standing here, staring out of the same
balcony every day, waiting for someone who needs a real detective.”
3) Ext. Detective Jasper Kindell Office Balcony –
Continues
Close up (background to the right of the detective) ->
Long Shot/Medium shot
Shot facing
the detective with the rest of his office behind him. The detective brings up a
cigarette to his mouth and proceeds to light it, after he does he draws it from
his mouth and releases the smoke into the air.
Detective: (V.O)
“Like me, Jasper Kindell. But of course, that isn’t
gonna happen for a long, long time.”
A knock comes
from his door. The detective then turns around to his desk, brings up his chair
and sits down and calls to the person behind the door.
Detective:
“Come in”
4) Int. Detective
Jasper Kindell Office Front Door – Continues
The shot is
aimed at the door, which was a knocked in the previous scene, it opens to a
young woman, the detective assistant and she walks in holding open the door
behind her by leaning on it while facing the detective.
Detectives Assistant:
“Miss Oxford is here to see you, Detective”
When she stops
talking another woman, by the name of miss oxford comes slowly behind the
assistant looking down at her feet; she steps closer into the office and begins
to look up. This is where the camera will come from the floor to miss oxfords
face with a slow pan back.
5) Int. Detective Jasper Kindell Office Side view – Continues
Middle shot -> Pan
The shot
focuses on the detective, stands up to bring around a chair placing it on the
opposite side of his side of the desk. He responds as he moves the chair
around.
Detective:
“Come in darling’ I’ll get you a seat. Fancy a
drink?”
After this the
camera pans round to miss oxford walking in staring at her surroundings
nervously still.
Miss Oxford:
“Thank you, but I don’t drink at this hour.”
As this
happens our detective goes and closes the door to the balcony and sits on his
side of the desk
Detective:
“Well suit yourself”
6) Int. Detective Jasper Kindell
Office Desk shot – Continues
Middle/Over the shoulder shot.
This is over
the shoulder of the detective as he begins to question miss oxford. It is
framed in a way that allows us to see the back of the head of the detective,
miss oxfords face at a middle shot distance, the detectives drink and smoke as
well as his family photo. It is in this scene we get to learn about miss oxford
and why she is here. A strong light from the table lamp will be shining on miss
oxfords face so she becomes the centre of attention.
Detective:
“So tell me what you here for doll face”
Miss oxford:
“Well you see it’s about my father. He’s been acting
quite strange lately.”
Detective:
“In what way?”
7) Int. Detective Jasper Kindell – POV of the detective
Close up/POV
In this scene
we are slightly closer to miss oxfords face slowly zooming in over time, this
is where we get to hear more about why she is here before going into a flash
back which starts halfway through her speech and continues into the next scene.
Miss oxford:
“He’s been returning home late every night for the
past week, and one of the nights he came home quite distraught and…”
8) Ext. Miss Oxfords second floor bedroom window – Flash Back.
Medium Pan
Fades in to
Miss Oxford walking onto her balcony looking very concerned and the camera pans
up to put her into shot. Seems to be looking at something shocking
Miss oxford:
“…well he was carrying a large bag from out of his
car…”
