Constructing our Preliminary Exercise Video

To construct our preliminary video we split the video into eight scenes.

The first was a long shot, having our mystery character walking down a long, straight, corridor walking towards the camera heading for a door around the corner. To capture this shot we attached the camera on a tri-pod and placed it central of the corridor. This allowed us to use a panning shot to smoothly capture the character approaching the door.

The next shot was a low-angle close up of the door handle in which the character placed his hand on it, ready to open the door. We then recorded him from this angle entering the door as it would help us with the continuity editing.

The third shot was a low-angle shot, point of view shot from a second character. This was a shot of the man entering the room looking into the camera, with his right hand pointing towards the camera shouting the word, ' YOU!' . We used a low-angle shot here to show the characters position of power and authority.

The fourth & fifth shot was a mid-shot which gives us our first view of our second character, sitting at a table and the first character is just visible in the other end of the frame. This was used to show the distance between the two characters. The male character (character 1,) says ,'YOU MUST DO IT', out of shot but then slightly appears towards the end of this scene.

The sixth shotis a response of the the women (character 2, left of the frame,) in which she says 'I wont' in a timid voice to shows she is scared. Throughout this scene the camera is static and attached to the tripod and remains at the same angle.

The seventh shot is a high-angle, over the shoulder shot of character 1. The camera angle makes the women look very venerable to us which is the image we are trying to portray.

The last shot is a over the shoulder shot from character 2. This shot captures the size difference between the two characters. This represents the contrast in the two characters objectives.
