2. TASKThe task we had to do for media was create a film that includes a character arriving at the door, the door being opened and the character sitting opposite another character, as they exchange four lines of dialogue. In this short film we had to create two characters that have met before and there is dramatic conflict between them. The camera shots we had to use are close ups, long shot and wide shot. 3. Our script decision What our group chose was a boss and employee. My script wasabout an employee who keeps coming in late and not doing thework. The employee then starts swearing at his boss until he saysthe words hes been dreading all his life i have cancer. This finishesthere and leaves the audience on a huge dramatic cliff hanger.However we all chose to go with another group member. Kristysscript was about a boss cheating on his wife and sleeping with hisemployee. The employee is manipulating the boss so she can get apromotion and make him divorce his wife. Although, we dont know ifthe affair will continue as he feels very guilty, but will Emma theemployee manipulate him to leave her? This leaves the audience onthe edge of their seat as its a big cliff hanger to make the audiencesalivate for the next show. 4. What I did during filmingWhat I did during our film was the sound. I had to make sure the audience can hear the emotion and the drama from the actors or else it wouldnt have the same effect because your not able to hear anything. The camera shots we used for our film was: close up, long shot, wide shot, panning, two shot, establishing shot and a point of view shot. We used these camera shots to give a dramatic and captivating film to draw in more viewers and make it as dramatic as possible. 5.

EditingTo edit our film in final cut we had to put transitions. Transitions are moving swiftly from one scene to the next without a break.The cut: The cut is the most basic editing technique that can be used. The cut is where a length of film is divided at one point and joined to another.Dissolve: One image slowly fades out as another one comes into focusWipe: Black screen is introduced at one end of the image and taking out the image by drawing it across theimage by going black or introducing a new scene.Shot reverse shot: Its used between two actors in conversation, one actor appears on screen and delivers dialogue, cuts to the 2nd actor to react then back to the original actor. 7. Sound and camera shots usedClose up- on a face or item to give dramatic effectLong shot- so you can see what is happening from a distanceWide shot-showing overall of a room so we know where they are and gives us a wide angle viewTwo shot- when the two characters are in a sceneEstablishing shot- of Emma when she knocks on Phils officePoint of view shot- so we have a better idea of how the character is feeling and what they thinking.Panning shot- when Emma walks into the room the camera follows her as its still to give the effect of dramaSoundThe sound I used was ambient sound. I used ambient sound when Emma was walking in the hallway to givethe effect of a busy office.I also used dialogue between the two characters so we can hear what they feel and say to make it moredramatic and more confrontational. 8. EquipmentTripod: To make the camera stay still whilst you move the tripod up and down or left and right to get different variation of camera shots.Camera: to film what is going on in that scene so everyone can watch it.Sound boom: The sound boom extends so you can attach a mic on top to hear sound whilst you are far away to make sure your not in that shotMic: The microphone is used so you can hear the actors speakingHeadphones: We use headphones so we can hear the sound clearly. 9. Voice overVoice over is the sound I chose. A voice over is when non diegetic voice is being played over an image or video.
