preliminary task - script shots
My script could use the following:
[walking down corridor] - Close shot (perhaps of feet/legs walking), one side of 180° line to show walking in same direction. Only
1 person with no action which Is why I'm not selecting a wide shot
Medium shot of
person walking which reveals them to viewer. Only 1 person with no action which
Is why I'm not selecting a wide shot
[opens door] - close up shot match on action cut to medium
shot from inside the room of the door opening
[post room enter] - wide
shot to show viewer that the person has entered and that the other person
already inside the room has acknowledged him enter. Hard cut to centered medium
shot of person going to the table.
Cut again to
another medium shot from another angle which will last longer to establish the
180° line.
Cut to wide shot
showing both people sat at table using the camera positioned in the middle of 3
camera setup.
[conversation begins] - with two side cameras on the 3 camera setup,
they will be positioned over one person's shoulder looking at the other person
with the eye level being center, this will be used vice versa with other person
to ensure consistency.
[conversation ends] - wide shot of two people, medium shot of person
who originally entered leaving the room
Again using match
on action through the door
[End]

X story - intro
X
It starts off with a man running through a forest at the dead of night. He think he is being chased by a tall dark figure. As this figure got ever close he falls over on a fallen tree. the figure hovers over him and then darkness.
When he wakes up he finds himself in a shipping container in the dark with a smell of dead corpse lingering through the air. He is constrained and bound. He shouts. He starts to become agitated. But still no reply.
He hears the sound of the container door opening behind him, still agitated, he screams and demands what is going on. No reply, Just the sound heavy breathing and footsteps echoed through the metal walls.

3 skills in shots
3 skills in shots
180° line - This is when the camera will stay on one half of an 'imaginary' 180° that is created in the shot. This can be best explained with examples: if there is a conversation between two people then the camera may film it from the left side of the people, crossing the 180° line will mean that the conversation will cut to the opposite(right) side which wouldn’t ruin consistency but would remind the viewer that they're watching a filmed scene which would decrease immersion. Staying behind the 180° line can be used to also help convey something in the film, for example a car driving from point A to B would be filmed behind the 180° line for the whole journey to make sure it doesn’t appear as if the car has changed direction.Shot reverse shot - This again uses the 180° line rule but this time will utilize a 3 camera setup. This is often used in character conversations between 2 people. 1 camera will be setup, looking at the 2 people, from the middle of the 2 people in the conversation as a medium to wide shot. Camera 2 and 3 will be set looking at each person, one camera would ,for example, look at one person speaking whilst pointing over the listeners shoulder and vice versa. This is used to increase immersion as it makes the viewer feel as if the talker is aimed towards them.
Match on action - This is all about consistency, making sure that when a cut is made, it is edited so that the action on screen (e.g. opening a door) matches in both shots and is consistent with one another. This just makes sure that the view isn't taken out of the experience of the film and feels like the transition is natural
