preliminary task

For our preliminary task we had to story board and film a short clip lasting between a minute and a minute and a half of someone walking into a room and having a conversation. The story board had to show each camera shot.
I had to make sure the continuity of each shot was correct in order for the film to flow and look realistic. I also had to make sure there was shot reverse shot and to include the 180 bitty degree rule to show conversation.

This is a image of a shot reverse shot showing two people have a conversation. As you can see each of their facial expressions is shown clearly in order to show the audience the characters reaction in the conversation and how they are feeling. When filming this shot you need to make sure that the head space is correct. This is making sure that there is not loads room above the characters head, while still making sure you are using the rule of thirds. This type of shot is often used a lot in conversations and can often be found in soaps for example Eastenders and coronation street.
