Planning: Narrative, Mise-en-scene and finer details

We have now started to decide on the finer details of our film and also produced a shot list.

The Narrative (As written by our entire group):

The film begins in black and white; with a shot of the television with a broadcast from a priest or a Bishop. The non diegetic dialogue continues however there's a jump cut to an over the shoulder shot of our protagonist watching the TV, there's then a cut to the polaroid pictures focusing on a man and a woman, however there are other pictures around but aren't in focus. The written on the pictures are the titles for our film. This then repeats a few times, changing picture and name every time. There is then a shot of the protagonists child playing in another room near where the protagonist is. Following this, the protagonist leaves the room he is in and approaches a door, with a close-up of the door handle and the protagonists hands. The shot then cuts to the man on the other side of the door walking down a hallway. Colour is then introduced to the scene as he walks down the hallway, then the shot cuts to a close up of a door with a padlock. The protagonist then walks into the room where the people who are being tortured have been, they aren't in focus. Thought the film the protagonists face hasn't been shown. 

This is the idea we have at the moment however we may have to change some things depending on the location we film it at as we may not be able to find somewhere with a basement. We decided to start planning some of the mise-en-scene, lighting, make-up  costumes and the location, as well as this we have started to think about actors who could play the parts.
