Preliminary Exercise (Part 2)

After half term on Wednesday 25th February 2009. Myself, Shelley and Samantha had started again for this task. We had all come up with ideas for the storyline, the camera angles and shots, and the dialogue. All three of us decided that the storyline should be that, Samantha would come in from outside and walks upto Shelley who is sitting on the bench. Samantha sits next to her and they both have a conversation. At this point we were all improvising what each person was going to say and the actions that would take place after. I was doing the cinematography for the exercise however, I do appear at the end of the scene.

For the Camera shots, although I was doing the camera work when Samantha and Shelley were acting, they too contibuted to saying what shots we should use for the scene. We took a number of different camera angles for each shot. This was because, we was not sure if one shot would go with the next. This broaden our choices on the shots we could use.

The dialogue used was to show Samantha's character's personality, in which is also shown through the actions and facial expressions she does. We also see a part of Shelley's character's personality through her actions however, only shows one part of her personality.

We finished filming the scene on that day and decided to do the editing next lesson.
