Shot list

 The first group of shots emphasizes the visual comedy and the actors' expressions. You’ll need many Extreme Close-Ups, using the telephoto end of your lens, to tightly frame Billy’s maniacal laughter and Principal Weenie’s "hideous scowl", making their silly faces the entire focus of the screen. You'll also need Insert Shots to quickly zoom in on humiliating details, such as the Sharpie-written sign taped above the teacher or a tight view of the finger pointing during the expulsion. For the frantic action, use a Dutch Tilt (tilting the camera sideways) during the misdemeanor montage and the final chase to make the whole scene look unstable and chaotic.

The second group of shots sets up the action and contrast. Wide Shots will be used to show the entire, hallway before Billy makes a mess, emphasizing the huge contrast between the clean school and the chaos. Medium Shots will be key for the physical comedy, such as the teacher being hung by his undies, keeping both actors fully visible. Finally, use a Low Angle Shot when Billy is "prancing out" to film him from below; this is a classic technique that makes the character look powerful and superior as the "badass" victor.
