Preliminary Task

This is our initial task for A level Media, in which we had to plan, then film a simple sequence involving a character entering a room then sharing some dialect with another character, we decided as a group to film an interrogation sequence in which the interrogator walks into the room. This is shown in the image below.

 The second image shows him opening the door, emphasising the importance of his entrance. A close up is used to show this, showing how he enters the room and adds continuity when the camera cuts to a mid shot.

 This image shows me after i opened the door, giving the audience a taste of the new scene by looking through the door. a mid shot is used once again, in the same position as the initial scene to show the entire character and to show continuity, keeping a similar distance to the character to emphasise his superiority to the audience and other characters.

This image shows the interrogator entering the room, showing the final scene, also showing the initial scene receding into the distance emphasising the redundancy of the old scene.The body language of the character in this image shows that he is ready for conflict if necessary, with a serious face to show his determination.

The 180 degree rule is used in this sequence, showing the suspect for the first time, his attire and facial expression matches that of a criminal giving the audience an instant understanding of the character.

This shot is purely of the suspect. His initial dialogue is spoken here, exposing his Russian accent. a close up is used to emphasise his importance and also the first piece of dialogue. 

The interrogator is shown, whilst the 180 degree rule is being applied, he responds. It is made obvious he is responding to the suspect due to the 180 degree rule. His facial expression shows his determination once again.

The final shot we used was once again a 180 degree  rule close up, once again of the suspect who replies to the interrogator. He has a shocked facial expression to show how surprised he is that the interrogator knowshis secrets, he then makes up an excuse. This is left as a cliff hanger to attract the audiences attention. The scene is ended on a fade to black the emphasise that the scene has ended.
