and Patriot Act

Shop on the Main Street shot list
1. 1:32:22 – 1:32:35 Shot starts with wide shot of Tono lighting a match in a dark room. Mrs. Lautmannova is asleep on the bed right next to him. He begins to shake her awake calling her name. She awakes, startled and asks who it is as she turns and reaches for the light.
2. 1:32:35 – 1:32:39 Wide shot from slightly behind Mrs. Lautmannova. Tono urgently tells her, while she is sitting up in bed, that he has come to warn her.
3. 1:32:39 – 1:32:42 Wide shot over the shoulder of Tono as he says that they will take her tomorrow. She shrugs it off and waves her hand saying that he has been drinking.
4. 1:32:42 – 1:32:47 Wide shot behind Mrs. Lautmannova. Tono agrees that he had been drinking but insists that she goes into hiding.
5. 1:32:47 – 1:33:03 Establishing shot of Tono sitting beside the bed and Mrs. Lautmannova sitting up in the bed. Mrs. Lautmannova calls him drunk and waves her hand as he gets up and walks away, off camera to the left. She says she’ll hide him and tells him to go into the shop, she would join him, as she puts her coat on still sitting in bed.
6. 1:33:03 – 1:33:25 Wide shot of Tono in the shop glancing out the store window nervously as he sees the flashes of light and hears the singing of the Nazi celebrating. He walks out from behind the counter and sits on a chair as the camera follows. He takes out alcohol from his coat jacket, opens it but then changes his mind and closes it and puts it back. The light turns on. He looks to the left and says to not turn the lights on.
7. 1:33:25 – 1:33:52 Wide shot, slight angle up, of Mrs. Lautmannova walking in with sheets and pillows piled messily in her arms. She brings them to the counter and Tono walks into the shot asking what she is doing and if the bedding is for him. She begins to make a bed on the counter saying that things happen. She continues as Tono looks stressed, saying people quarrel the young and old, but that’s just life. Tono
