Planning

For our Preliminary Task we were asked to plan, storyboard and film a simple narrative consisting of:

• A character entering a room
• the same character crossing the room
• then sitting down facing another character
• a few lines of dialogue are exchanged between them.

We had to include the four continuity techniques:

• shot/reverse shot
• match-on-action
• 180°rule
• eye line match

Brief insight into narrative:

1st character enters a room and spots another already sitting there. Upon entering the room, a few shots of the character profiles are used to create a little mystery as to who they are. The 1st character then proceeds to sit opposite the 2nd and they exchange a few lines. Then the 2nd character gives the 1st a mysterious letter.
