Shot/framing etc
Action
Other info/reasoning

Scene two, present time, reading diary:
1
Wide shot - establishing shot
Granddad is sitting silently flicking through his diary, stern facial expression. 
The location of this shot is in an abandoned outhouse (which will be an outdoor changing room in Woolpit). The costume for the granddad will still consist of dark, simple, casual clothing, such as jean and a fleece. This is to build a personality round the granddad and shows that he isn’t particularly bothered about his appearance, also the dark colours represent a dark, mysterious side to his character. There will only be one prop used in this shot which will be the tatty, black diary.

Medium close up – focusing on the diary

Extreme close up – framing only showing granddads eye movement

The costume and prop in this scene aren’t visible in this shot, this is to solely direct the audience’s attention onto the eye movement. It is very important that the audience notice the granddad’s eyes moving upwards so they know the next scene is a flashback.  

Scene two, present time, reading the newspaper:
