Planning for the preliminary task

PLANNING FOR THE PRELIMINARY TASK:

My group and I are going to film our ‘prelim task’ in an interview scenario. It is going to entail a criminal being interviewed by two officers in a tense tight office room. The costume will be interviewers dressed ‘smartly’ to appeal to the stereotypes of interviewers, the criminal in a tracksuit and the criminal’s lawyer also dressed ‘smartly’. The scene will involve the interviewers questioning the criminal rigorously until he explodes violently.

·      HOW I WILL USE THE 180 DEGREE RULE:

o   When I am filming the interviewers talking to the lawyer, I will make sure it follows the 180-degree rule. I plan to break it for when he speaks to the criminal as it connotes disorder and unpredictability building up to the explosion of anger the interviewee unleashes on the props surrounding him.

·      WHEN I WILL SHOW A CHARCETER WALKING THROUGH A DOOR:

o   When the criminal is entering the room accompanied by security.

·      WHEN I WILL SHOW SOMEONE SITTING DOWN ON A CHAIR:

o   The interviewee sits down in the chair, ready to be questioned.

·      WHEN I WILL HAVE A CONVERSATION:

o   Between the interviewer and the interviewee.

·      USE OF SHOT, REVERSE SHOT:

o   When the criminal and the officers are talking, I will use this to connote conflict amongst the characters.

·      WHEN I WILL USE ACTION MATCH EDITING:

o   I will use action match editing when the criminal becomes violent and starts to ‘smash up’ the props

      within the mis-en-scene. I will action match the different aggressive events – the editing will consist of fast-paced movements; in order to signify the intensity of the explosion of aggression and anger.

·      THERE WILL BE NO CONTINUITY ERRORS.
