Preliminary Task Shoot

 

Last week we filmed our preliminary task, we filmed a scene that is to be edited. Our scene involves person A running from an unknown person down the hall into a room. Assuming they are safe they look around the room for somewhere to hide. They go to their hiding spot to find their friend, person B is already hiding there. They then sit together, talking about where the unknown person is when they see them enter the room and run towards their hiding spot. We tried to build suspense and tension by using a handheld camera shot, and a series of shots that focus on people’s feet from under tables. When it comes to editing we will add music in the background to further add to the fear.

Some of the shots that we will be using are shot/reverse shot where we cut from person A to person B’s face, and then back again to show that they are having a conversation with each other. The 180 degree rule where we make an imaginary line that the camera doesn’t cross to give the scene a natural look. And match on action where an action such as opening the door from the hall cut to a different shot of the same action from inside the room. The different types of shots we will be using are a point of view shot, an over the shoulder shot, a low angle shot, a tracking shot, a medium close up, a long shot, and a two shot.

The software that we will be using to edit our scene is Adobe Premiere Software. We will be using the shots we filmed earlier this week, and we will add sound effects like music, and change the length of some shots. This will give the scene a more polished finish, and make it look more professional.
