The Script.

The Scene consists of two people. One being a Drug Dealer, the other being an adolescent Gang member.
The extract takes place in a worn down apartment belonging to the local council estate.

Drug Dealer enters.

Gang Member: (Calmly) Sit down.
Dealer: I can't stay long, I got another...
Gang Member: (Interrupting with a ferocious tone) I said sit down !
Dealer: Okay Okay Geez.
Gang Member: Listen man you watch that tone with me you hear?

(Dealer nods apologetically)

Gang Member: So you brought the goods?
Dealer: Course I have bro. (Shifts uncomfortably)
Gang Member: Show me.

(Dealer opens bag and shows Gang Member, the bag is only half full.)
(Gang member looks up at dealer violently)

Gang member: (Shouting) I ain't here to play no stupid games.
Dealer: I'm sorry i'll bring it to you in full tommorow yeah?
(Gang member throws dealer against a wall with hand to throat)
Gang Member: You better or i'll kill you, you hear me KILL YOU!

This is only a prototype and some small parts could change due to the use of improvisation.

First Post and selection Preliminary Shots

First Post and selection of Preliminary Shots

The Shots I am writing about have to be involved within the Preliminary Task. I decided to do some research concerning the shots and give an example as to what they are.


Shot Reverse Shot.

- The Camera shows one character looking at someone then another shot in which the other person is looking back. This an example of Hollywood Editing




Match on Action.

- A match on action is when a shot shows a character looking at something off screen and then cuts to a shot of what the person was actually looking at. This is continuity editing and helps the audience depict an idea as to what is happening.



180 Degree Rule

- The 180 Degree Rule is the spatial relationship between a separate characters on screen. An imaginary axis  connecting the characters allows for the camera to have shots from either side of the actors.



All of these shot I feel I understand to the best of my abilities and I look forward to trying each of them out when filming.
