group discussion-basic briefing

first of all our group brain stormed ideas for our short production, of a man/woman walking into a room sitting at a desk and exchanging dialouge with the person behind the desk.

we thought about camera effects/techniques such as panning, zooming, tilting and tracking. we also thought about the amount of characters, props e.g. costumes and other props, and location. ideas for the scene were brought forward by each person of the group, ideas such as an office type environment and an interigation type scene.

we decided that because of the size of our group [3] we had to incorperate someone from outside of our media class so that we had a total of 3 characters, and 1 camera man.

it will be an interigation scene where a scruffy man, with bruises and some blood on his face would be walked down a corridor by a smartly dressed man then pushed into a room , in which a man would be seated at a desk also smartly dressed, the scruffy man would then cross the room nervously, and the camera would follow him like cctv.

he would then sit down at the desk opposite the man and they would exchange conversation, in which the man who was already seated at the desk would ask the scruffy man questions. the scruffy man would give short nervous replies.

then the smart dressed man stands up, walks around the desk, lays his hands on the scruffy mans shoulders and says something like, "thats not what i wanted to hear", and walk out of the room. as he walks out the other smartly dressed man walks in, and then it will cut to a scene from outside the room, and the door will close slowly. and then gun shots will be heard.

*we will start off by filming the men walking down the corridor, scruffy man being pushed by the suited man, using panning to follow them walking in a medium long shot.
*then a shot of the suited man pushing the scruffy man into the room, closing the door and walking out of shot medium shot from a static point.
*then the scene would cut to inside the room, where the camera would be positioned like a cctv camera, and pan across as the man goes to the desk, medium long shot.
*then as the conversation takes place we will use shot-reverse-shot to catch all the conversation, match-on-action, from a medium close up.
*then as the suited man stands up and walks out the camera follows the mans movements to the door, medium long shot, and then stays static as the other suited man walks in, gun held by his leg.
*then it will cut to outside the room, where we will see the door close slowly, medium shot, and then gun fire sounds. the camera still focused on the door in medium shot.

this uses;

panning
shot-reverse-shot
match-on-action

we are also tacking into account the 180 deg. rule, and considering where we would place the camera for the shots.
