Description of ideas

We intend to shoot in a classroom as there is a lot of room and a door to enter and exit out of, it also would look much like a teachers office as there is a desk and chairs already set up in the room. We knew that we were going to perform a scene in the teachers room but we did not know what the basic storyline would include so we started by interpreting our ideas, we came up with a few which was,a student becoming pregnant, murder of a teacher, suicide of a student in the bathroom. But after all of the ideas we came to the conclusion of a new student being abused by their parent. From our final idea we then started to think about the characters and how many actors we would need to star in our short film. We decided that we would need 2 male actors and one female actor. We knew that we had to include the 180 degree rule, shot reverse shot and match on action. When planning the filiming we decided to try and get the 180 Degree rule by placing an imaginary line where we could not pass with the camera's to get the audience intact and to not confuse them therefore when we do film the examiner and audience will see that this has taken place.

Planning the shot reverse shot was quite easy as we knew that there were going to be a few over the shoulder shots and this would show both of the actors so the audience would know who each character is talking to. Match on action we knew was going to be the character opening the door from one side, opening and walking through it in another. We planned to film this by having one camera on one side of the door and another from the other side.
