AS Media. peliminary prep

In the lesson as a group we typed up our script for our first piece of coursework, in the script ,two people exchange dialogue. Its meant to be short as the main focus is on the shots rather than the dialogue. We decided the that the scene would be a policewoman interrogating a criminal. When doing the script and shot list , we had to make sure that each shot matches the character taliking (match on action). After the script we wrote out our shot list which will help us with the story board. The shot list will tell us what each shot will consist of (i.e MCU, CU, ECU, etc). The shot list also includes how many shots there will be,what will happen in each shot and its location.
We then went to describe what would happen in each shot i.e what character, shot type, shot technique, etc. After the shot list we drew up the storyboard. This included 12 frames, one for each shot, with the technical details beside the frame. Example below.



We then discussed and typed up a risk assesment,, which assest an danger we may have at our chosen location (drama room). The risk assesment included risks to individuals, risk to the public and risk to the equipment.

We discussed what location would be best for our scene, we had to take into acount, light, noise polution etc. We decided on the drama room as it is dark and has spotlights. We also dicussed costumes for the characters. We decided the cop should wear smart trousers, black vest, and glasses. Mario (the criminal) should wear plain green t-shirt, black jacket, and a black hat (the bottom half of the costume did not matter as Mario would be behind the table throughout the scene.
