For This Next Shot, I Think We Should Go For Something… Kooky by Wes Anderson

I have a clear vision for this shot. I’m envisioning something quite unique and distinct. And I think we can achieve that if we think stylistically. Hmmmm maybe we could use a pop of… color?

I want all the characters to be wearing clothes from the 1940’s. Beautiful three-piece suits and long fur coats. And I want there to be a firefighter in a full firefighting uniform. It will seem… silly.

Let’s start simple. Let’s have the little boy stare off into the distance just like so. And then we can start breaking rules. The shot will start wide and then zoom into the boy’s face. And the framing will be… interesting.

And then we’ll quickly cut to a shot of a raccoon in the forest. It will seem… random. But it will be… beautiful.
