Preliminary task write up

Early this week we filmed for our preliminary exam, we filmed a short scene about a musician getting a record deal, which we have begun editing. Our scene starts of the with the young musician first looking nervous, this was to try and get the audience to feel sympathy, this was done with a close up of the musician’s face. We then use match on action of the musician walking into a room, this was done to show continuity through out the clip. We showed this with 2 long shots of the musician walking to the door and then from the other side of the door watching the musician walk into the room. We then have several over the shoulder shots, following a conversation, which will have to be edited. This is so that the audience does not get confused with the lines being spoken by the two characters. All shots used and editing techniques that will be used are to try and make the scene look professional. All the camera angles used so far are:

Ø  Over the shoulder shots

Ø  Extreme long shot

Ø  Close up

Ø  Point of View shots

Editing techniques we will use are:

Ø  Transitions

Ø  Change of pace between shots

Ø  Music being played over the top

Ø  Some fading of the music

Ø  And maybe fading at the end of the scene
