Practical Session 5: Filming a sequence with Dialogue.

In the lesson we had today with Matt, he left us in our groups to make a short clip on any subject, but it had to involve two characters having a conversation and then one leaving the room. We had a simple idea of a struggling relationship and the women confronting her partner about another women to which she storms out of the room after a brief conversation. 

When filming this we had to remember the 180 rule to make sure the sequence made sense and also to keep continuity by making sure the characters were wearing the same items each different shot and to make sure every small detail was the same to make the clip run smoothly. We got lots of different shots which allowed us many different variations of the clip and a different way of emphasising the clip. We also managed to do a follow cam, which was very effective.  We did however film on the outside settings for the camera which drained the imagine and made it look like a retro photo.



Before this idea we had another idea:

Our idea for our dialogue sequence is going to based on our opening title sequence.  Two guys, who are relatively big, enter a room to try and find the suspect.  The first guy "what is this place, where is he?", the second guy "he should be here, he should be here, I swear this is location he sent".

Recording starts playing "I'm here, come get me"
First person "where's that coming from, he's here!"

They look around the room trying to find where the dialogue is coming from.
Second guy finds a recording device in the corner of the room and immediately looks up and runs out of the door - realising what has happened.

We changed this idea when we went to film, as on reflection, we felt we wanted something a little different.
