For our AS Media Coursework task we have been asked to produce, film and direct an opening to a thriller film. Before we start filming, we had to get to grips with the filming process, so were instructed to make a 30 second clip using our new skills. By doing this we can prepare, brainstorm and develop ideas for our thriller.
This is our storyboard which we are using for the preliminary task, it gives a simple step by step order of how the clips need to be filmed and the props which need to be included in each shot.
The clip has to to include certain a few features, this included a match on action shot, an over the shoulder shot, a panning movement of the camera and a shot/reverse shot. In addition we need a few lines of dialogue and a closeup of a door handle being opened. Whilst doing all of these things we had to adhere to the 180 degree rule. This is where the camera positions are kept on one side of the participants in a conversation and do not cross an invisible line running through the actors. By doing this the audience know where both actors are in relation to each other and prevents them from being disorientated.
Here is the script that we are going to use for our preliminary task.
Student: “You alright sir?”
Teacher: “Come sit down…. Did you bring your homework with you?”
Student: “Yeah sir”
Teacher: (Pause to look at the paper) “This is really good!”
Student: “Cheers sir”
