Preliminary task: shoot write-up

On Monday we filmed our preliminary task, it was a short scene with 10 shots. The theme of our scene was horror, its about two students hiding from something under a table in a class room. We tried to create tension and a scared feeling by not letting the audience have a clear view until the two characters begin a short conversation, and even then we still don't allow the audience a full view of the 'thing' chasing the students. We also made the room dark when filming to add to the horror feel of the scene; if the shots aren't dark enough when we edit them, then we will make the darker.

The shots we used are:

• point of view shot
• tracking shot
• medium close up shot
• two shot
• long shot

Other techniques we used were:

• match on action
• shot reverse shot
• 180 degree rule

We will be using the software adobe premier pro to edit our scene together, we will add horror music to add to the short scenes tension, and also remove any unneeded sound, as well as cut any parts we don't need, so that the scene flows continuously.
