Location

My short clip will be filmed in a school classroom at our college. Because it has a door that a character can walk in to the room through and a chairs for two characters to sit down on. Also, the lighting will be appropriate



Equipment  

I will be using my own video camera and a school tripod to make my footage. I will fix the camera onto the tripod so that the camera is still when i film the two characters exchanging dialogue. Moreover, i will use two chairs and a table for my scene.


Initial idea/Characters and roles

I will be filming and Josh and Matt will be acting in the scene. Matt will walk into the room, through the door, and then sit down next to Josh on a chair. Both will then exchange speech and a few stares. The short conversation will be about who has sent matt and more details on the mystery deal they are mutually taking part in.



Dates and times for filming

We will start filming on friday the fifth of october in our media lesson.

In the AS Prelim task, i will create a video showing 3 different camera techniques.

These three techniques include:

 Match on action
Shot/Reverse shot
180 degree rule

My short film will involve a character opening a door and walking across the room to sit down opposite another character, where the they will exchange a few lines of dialogue.

Match on action

This is where an action is shown from two different perspectives consecutively, creating a consistent flow in the action.



Shot/Reverse shot
 This is where one character is shown looking at another character, then that character is shown looking back at the first character. This technique portrays that the two characters are engaged in a conversation.


180 degree rule






This where the camera either pans or cuts to different views without breaking the 180 degree rule, which means the camera either stops panning or the cutting stops soon as it reaches the 180 degree angle. In this shot the subject or subjects are in the same position throughout.
