Film Production- Shotlist

The first insert of the conference member's feet as he enters the room tries to create meaning by portraying a serious tone to the context of the situation, although the viewer is not yet aware of what will soon occur.

The camera pan to show Santa at the end of the conference table creates meaning by finally revealing the subject of the conference meeting, relieving the seriousness and suspense of the previous shots.

The mid-shot of the Easter Bunny entering the doorway and slowly walking away adds meaning to the situation by providing humor and randomness to the situation, with a contrast of a confused character nervously passing by while there is tension and argument within the conference room.

The wide-shot of the entire room creates meaning by showing the viewer how the firing of Santa Claus is starting to sink in with all the board members as the room becomes silent.

The final mid-shot attempts to create meaning by showing Santa's reaction of shock and surprise as he has lost his job in addition to how it resonates with him while everyone else begins to leave.
