To film a short conversation between two people that demonstrates 180-degree line, shot reverse shot and match on action.

180-degree line: this means that you have to stay on one side of two people to keep how it is viewed the same throughout the different shots. 

Shot reverse shot: this means that in a conversation between two or more people shots are taken over the shoulder of the opposite person so to view the person that’s speaking’s face and then this swaps as each person speaks.

Match on action: we need this to link two shots together to make it more realistic, also to make sure its edited to create something that you as a view would expect to happen in real life.

For planning we wrote a script on Celtex with a description of where it should be shot and who would be involved at what points.

We also did a storyboard to roughly envision what shots would need to be used throughout the whole conversation.

 

Next we went out to research locations to film our conversation and to find a suitable place to film with enough film space and reasonable resources eg. Chairs, Door.

Shot LIST

Close up:  this was used to show the door handle

Long shot: this I used to show the person walking to the door from the hall way

Medium long shot: to show the person walking into the room and sitting down.

Establishing shot: to show where the two people are in the room

Over the shoulder shot A: to view the person currently speaking.

Over the shoulder shot B: to view the next person speaking.

Risk assessment:

We made sure that there was nothing anyone could walk in to, also make sure that the chairs were all stable enough to hold a person and recognising any other dangers Eg. Things falling on people.

How it was filmed.

First we set up the camera on the corridor to establish the a long shot of walking to the door

Next we set up the camera closer to the door to get a close up of the door being opened

Now a camera is placed over the other persons shoulder to view the person walking in and sitting down.

Next we did a medium two shot with both people in focus to view where they are in the conversation.

Then over the shoulder shots to view the person that is currently speaking.

We did not have any problems while filming the conversation.

How did we edit.

We used final cut express to edit the conversation and we cut the shots together to create a match on action we did this by cutting the length down and making sure the sounds match by lengthening the amount of the sound to match the conversation.
