Pictures of Setting

This is one high angle, over the shoulder shot we are going to use to show that he is waiting for something, as he is going to be wearing a watch at the time. He will be placed in the middle of the setting in the second picture.


This is going to be the setting where the character will be sitting and waiting to walk to the room for his interview. We will be using Close Ups, Extreme Long Shots, Medium Shot and different angles in this scene to show the setting and emotion of the character.



Script

We wanted a shot snappy script so we could show more camera angles and shots in the movie. Whilst we were discussing the script, Matt and I thought of Dr. Evil off Austin Powers as we thought it would be funny and plus he is quite creepy. 


Tom: Hello Sir
Matt: (Swivels Chair Slowly With A Cat)
Tom: Sir?
Matt: I've Been Expecting You, Sit Down And Pass Me Your CV (Reads CV And Pauses)
Matt: Very Impressive
Imagine a conversation between two people and imagine they have a line going through them, this line represents the 180 degree line. The rule is very simple, you cannot record on one side of this line then go to the other side as this will break the 180 degree rule. Above is a picture that clearly shows the rule. The camera can not be recorded on the green side then be recorded on the red side.

Shot Reverse Shot

The shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is show looking at another character from over the shoulder. This is often used in conversation, to see reactions and to establish the relationship through the characters. The two sources at the bottom of this post, on the right, is what not to do as it will make it seem you are talking to yourself and thats not what you want. The other is an example, which is correct, of an Shot Reverse Shot.
