camera out of focus of driver walking to car.

-After a wipe (representing time) it will be later that night with the driver behind the wheel of the

car. He will then try to emergency stop as he see’s a pedestrian crossing the road, but hits

him.Coming to a stop the driver gets out of the car

Digetic sounds of interviewer and police officer.

Various camera shots will be used during the interview.

First a tripod will be set up to show a two-shot of the interviewer and the police officer.

We will also use the rule of thirds shot to create a looking room.

Mixed with over the shoulder shots of the interviewer talking and point of view shots of the interviewer looking at the police officer while he talks.

Interview takes place.

We will discuss the procedure a police officer goes through when someone has been caught.

Past experiences.

What’s been done to prevent it.

Here we will be interviewing/ talking to someone who commits the offence but hasn’t been caught, we will be asking him why he does it and why he thinks it is ok.

We will also ask what he would do if he got caught and if he is aware of the convictions he could face. The seriousness of what could happen and its implications to others.
