Intro

In our preliminary task we had to plan, film and edit a short scene. It needed to include;

1. A character opening a door


2. Someone sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue


3. Match on action


4. shot/reverse shot


5. 180 degree rule
   

I was in a group along with three others; Ollie Morris, Alex Linfoot and Ella Permaul. After brainstorming for ideas we finally decided on making a proposal scene with two characters. We also had to convey a contrast of status in the scene, so we had to include one character being more dominant then the other and also everything mentioned above.

The Team:

We were told before starting this task that we would need to get our own actors, costumes, props etc, however, we were all very unorganised, so without any actors we had to use Ollie and Kushi as a last minute decision.

When thinking of set locations, the obvious place was our school as Kushi played the role of a school teacher. We also wanted to have quite a small set as this follows one of the conventions of TV dramas; they are typically set in an enclosed location such as Albert Square in Eastenders. This picture shows where our scene was set.
