Preliminary Task

These are the storyboards we used to prepare our preliminary task

For our preliminary task we first collected ideas of what we may want to do, E.G.

• School Disciplinary Meeting
• Police Interrogation interview
• Job Interview
• Medical Appointment
• Hostage situation

In the end we went with the police interrogation interview

Camera

We decided we would record the scene several times but in different angles to help editing later on. We used various two person shots, over the shoulder shots, long shots and tracking shots to help establish the scene.

Mise-en-scene

In order to make a realistic interview room we kept the room quite deserted as typical, and positioned the table as an interview room with a chair on either side. We did not have particular costumes although, Alex Nightingale who played the suspect in the clip wore tracksuit bottoms and particularly juvenile clothing to represent youth crime. One spotlight was used to help focus the audience on one thing, and to help set the scene. Props such as the evidence, and tape recorder helped also to distinguish what was happening

Sound

In the dialogue we ensured representation of police was used in the language used for example "Interview Commencing at....". We came up with a script which is as shown below

PC Walker: Interview Commencing at _ _ : _ _ at Sun Hill Police Station with PC Dan Walker and Paul Smith. Where were you between the hours of 7:30 and 9:30 yesterday

Paul: At home

PC Walker: Can anyone confirm this?

Paul: I was on my own

PC Walker: How do you explain this? (shows evidence)
