SCENE #1

The sequence begins with a close up shot of a water pipe by a pond with koi fish in. This shot is in a shallow depth of field shot too – in which the foreground is in focus and the background .

The shot then slowly pans to the right in which text appears. The shot goes from shallow depth of field to

deep depth of field – meaning that the whole shot becomes clear and in focus.

Continuing to pan from left to right, the shot then returns into a shallow depth of field. But this time, the background is in focus compared to the foreground. A different text appears

towards the end of this pan. This shot remains as a close up shot the whole time – there are no tracking movements in

this shot.

SCENE #2

After panning from left to right of the pond shot, the shot now changes to a mid-shot of a female character sleeping in bed with a cat walking towards her. This new shot is introduced by another panning shot from the left to the right.

The shot cuts to a close up of the female figure cuddling with the cat. This is an effective continuity shot, as it shows that the cat had jumped up to the side of her bed in the previous shot

and this shot helps to develop the storyline – by waking her up.

SCENE #3

This shot is introduced by yet another pan. However, this time it appears from right to left. We can also see that the shot is in a shallow depth of field – the foreground is in focus in comparison to the background. This pan stays at a medium

long shot as it pans.

The shot then cuts to a close up still shot of the cassette player and its buttons.

It is here when the words of the song is heard. A slow pan from left to right shows her lip syncing the lyrics

at a mid-shot.

SCENE #4

The shot now cuts back to the pond scene – seen at the very beginning of the sequence. There is a mid-shot pan movement along this stream, following the koi fish.

SCENE #5

The scene cuts again, but this time at a high angle over the shoulder shot. This shot starts from a mid-shot and slowly tracks/zooms into a medium close up shot.

SCENE #6

A new shot is used to enter a new scene. There is 2 second long shot pan from the left to the right .

The shot then cuts to a medium close up of the TV which now pans from right to left.

The shot then cuts yet again to a long shot of the female figure walking behind the sofa, which was seen in the

first shot of this scene. This show continuity.

A close up of the cat on the sofa ends the scene – which helps the audience to understand that a new

setting is about to take place – as the cat introduced the sequence.

SCENE #7

This new scene is introduced by a free hand camera shot – meaning that it wasn’t supported by a tripod or dolly tracks to get this shot. The shot starts from a medium

close up and ends on a medium close up.

This then cuts to a still shot, which shows the female figure driving away at a medium long shot.

A medium shot is kept consistent at this free hand shot from what could be a moving vehicle. Lip

syncing continues in this shot.

An extreme long shot films the girl pulling up on her moped from a still shot.

SCENE #7 CONTINUED...

The camera breaks the 180 degree rule by filming a long shot on the other side of her. However, it is made clear from the previous shot – as it is an establishing shot.

The camera then cuts to a close up shot of her pulling a confused expression, from the original 180 side of the

line.

The one minute sequence ends on a shot where the 180 degree rule is broken once again. It is the same shot as previously, but a closer one and a shallow depth of focus is in use again (the

background is in focus in comparison to the foreground).
