After weeks of consideration and preparation, we have finally decided on what our story line should involve for our 2 minute film opening- on Sunday we start filming!
We have decided to film the conversation between the editor of the magazine and the intern in an office environment. Luckily, due to various contacts we have been able to arrange a time for us to film our scenes in an office.
We have decided to start with our protagonist walking into the office (match on action) , we then will do cut aways and close ups to various props around the room i.e: magazines, posters and a clothes rail. We will each bring in bits of clothing to put on the clothes rail for verisimilitude. We would like to have people sorting things out on the clothes rail with a tape measure.
we would then like to do a mid shot of our actor sitting at a desk, sorting through papers when she finds a letter saying 'confidential'. We would then like to do an over the shoulder shot of her opening the letter, once she reads the words 'court summons' we will then cut to a close up of the confusion/shock on her face.
Just before you see her going to bring out the rest of the letter to see what it says, we will then have our 'editor' shout out 'samantha?' in the background, as she does this we will then switch back to a mid shot to show our actress struggling to quickly put the letter back in the envelope whilst her boss gets nearer to entering the room.
Once the editor comes in, we will switch to a wide shot she will demand 'where is my coffee?' then slamming her books down on the table, once she does this we will then go back to a mid shot and show once again Samantha's confusion as she realises she forgot to get her boss' coffee!
We have 2 hours in which to film all of this in so I am hopeful we will be able to get all of our scenes filmed!
