Practical Preparation Task
Preparation Task
We have been set a preparation task to shoot a 2 minute opening featuring somebody walking, and then having a short conversation. We have been set this task in order to get us prepared for our coursework, where we have to produce at 2 minute opening to a thriller.
We have to include 3 main shot types, which are: match-on-action (where shots change angle or view, whilst matching the shot that preceded it), reverse shot (as the characters utter their dialogue, it cuts from one character to the other), and the 180 degree rule (the two characters in the scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other).
We have already planned our storyboard involving shot-types we plan on using, and will have to film and edit the shots we get.

Media Pictures
We were set with the task of taking some pictures around the school, meeting certain criteria for specific pictures. Our pictures had to feature a 'Protagonist', and an 'Antagonist'. Matt Wells featured in most of our pictures, as he was our protagonist, and I featured in only 1 picture, even though I was supposedly the antagonist. Our "plot" was supposed to be about the protagonist trying to revise, and the antagonist trying to distract him. We hope this was established in pour pictures.
Our first two pictures had to be a 'Long Shot' and a 'Close Up' using the rule of thirds technique. Unfortunately, I cannot find these images.
Our second task was to take pictures of a 'LS', or 'Long Shot', and a 'MS', or 'Mid-Shot', using 'Leading Lines'. Leading Lines are where there is an object which leads the eye to another object. We didn't manage to capture a Mid Shot, but we do have a Long Shot. Note that the table leads the eye to our character sat down revising.
Our third task was to get a picture which featured a long angle in the shot. This is used to often make the character that is on screen look menacing or tough. This angle is supposed to show me looking like the bad character, as I was the antagonist supposedly trying to annoy the slightly-smiling-out-of-character person below me. As you can see, I play this role very well.
Our fourth task was to take a photograph of the same object, but from three different angles. We chose the pen in the hand of the protagonist. You can see the first one used a 'POV', or 'Point Of View' shot, which is used to show the view from the character. The second shot we chose to do an 'over the shoulder' shot. The final shot we chose was to do a close up of the pen, to see what the character was doing.
Our penultimate task was to take a picture of an 'ECU', or an 'Extreme Close Up', as well as a 'LS' or 'Long Shot', using backgrounds. In the first picture you can see our protagonist stood next to a sign which features some sort of Tupton Hall School logo. In the second picture you can see him stood next to the sign, but from a distance.
Our final picture was to capture an establishing shot, and as our story was based in a school, we thought what could we get that was better than the school?
