Peliminary Task

Location: Sixth form Centre Canteen

Dialouge: Two charecters share a phonecall before meeting in a room, and exchanging a small object.

Firstly a over shoulder shot follows the main character as he walks towards the door.

Then an extreme close up oh the main character as he puts his hand on the door handle and opens the door.

Then back to an over shoulder shot as he walks through the door into the room.

Next the camera is positioned to the left of him and a side shot of the main character picking up the phone.

The camera is kept in the same position as he speaks a line of dialouge, "Send him in".

The camera is then switched to a side extreme close up to the second character with the phone to her ear, who then speaks the second line of dialouge, "On my way".

The camera then follows the second character from an over shoulder shot as she walks to the double doors infront of her.

It continues to follow her as she walks through the doors.

The camera then switches to a side view of the charecter from a long shot perspective, and it moves with the character.

The main character is sat on the sofa, in the same position he was last shot in, the second character takes a seat in front of the main character, the camera is positioned to the leftof the main charecter and it is a side close up shot of the third piece of dialouge "Cheers bro".

The camera zooms in on the main characters hands as he passes the second charecter a small object.


The scene ends there.

Today we started working with the cameras. We were given tripods and video cameras, and a sheet of camera angles to test and try out. Last lesson we learnt about the following camera angles;

Long shot:- 

• Shows where action is taking place
• Allows audience to follow broad movements
• Shows relative positions of subjects
• Establishes mood 

Extreme close up:- 
Creates intamacy, honesty and emotion. Often can cause discomfort.


High-Angle:- 
This shot makes the charecter become weak. Audience has a sense of domination over charecter.


Pan shots:-
You move with the charecter.


Very long shot:-
Sense of place, setting, atmosphere.


Closer/Mid-shots:-
Allows audience to take a detached view without personal involvement.


Today in my group, we played around outside with these different styles of recording, we also were given a work sheet and we were given a few examples of scenarios to act out using the camera angles we were taught last lesson.
