Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.Alex (my partner in filming) and I have decided to film this task on Saturday 15th October 2011. As the task is only meant to be a short teaser into our main task with help into filming techniques, we thought a few hours on a Saturday would be the best time to film as we can edit throughout the lessons and our free lessons in the following week (17-21 October).
The location for our film is set in a house and for this task we are filming at Alex's house.
The two actors in the film are going to be Gavin and myself.
Here is our schedule:
11am - Nadine and Actor arrive at Alex's house.
11-11.15 - Set up scene/actors costumes/ props/ other mise-en-scene
11.15-11.30 - Take picture of shots that will be used for storyboard
11.30 onwards - Film all scenes
1.30-2pm - Wrap up filming
During today's Media Lesson Alex and I discussed our main ideas and focuses for our preliminary task. Deciding on the final ideas for our exercise, we created this script which also details the camera shots and angles we will use.
