Our Storyboard

Our storyline:

• First date between a girl and a boy
• The audience see the girls outfit and her all ready for the date
• As she enters the room, it is more decorated and 'loved' up than she expected
• The boy is extremely full on, expressing un-dying love for her, even though this is their first date and they have only just met
• He expresses his declaration for marriage, she is completely shocked and worried
• There are elements of humour by the way he has decorated the room and the way he is dressed
• Her facial expressions show her fear and shock of his proposal
• The scene blacks out after his line 'will you marry me?' and a zoom in of her facial expression

We use MOA when she looks in the mirror and also when she opens the door (close up on her hand)
We use SRS when they are speaking, we use CU's and MCU's.

Match On Action

Match on Action is simple but an effective, essential technique when creating a piece of film work.
The perspective of the camera changes during an action but the action still continues to flow.

• Here the audience see a girl walk up to the book case and pick out the book she wishes to read. This is shot in medium and the action is picking up book.

• The shot is still at the same distance (medium shot), the audience see the same part of the girls body and her body movements as she opens the book and picks the pages she wishes to read.

 

• The camera has moved closer to the object (Close Up).
• The audience are now closer to the action (flicking through the pages in the book).
•  The switch between shot sizes and distances demonstrates the match on action, as there is a constant flow throughout the scene but there is a close up on the action that is being matched in the shot above.
• As well as demonstrating the strong continuity of action and linking the two shots metaphorically, this also highlights and emphasises what the girl is reading; this can influence what is going to happen in the rest of the scene and gives the audience an insight into what could happen.
• The match on action therefore is used for different purposes. 

Shot Reverse Shot

• It's usually filmed as an over the shoulder shot
• This makes the viewer sub consciously assume that the characters are looking at each other. 
• Shot reverse shot is often used in dialogue between two characters




• There are 3 types of shot reverse shot.

1.  Shot reverse shot: camera simply alternates between shots that shows one person at a time( usually the one person talking)

The camera is positioned from behind the woman to show the mans facial expression.

2. Over the shoulder two shot: Commonly used in conversation sequences, camera is placed behind shoulder of one character in the conversation. we see both characters, one more or less frontally and the other from behind.

This is a over the shoulder shot from the mans point of view.

The camera is positioned from behind the woman to show the mans facial expression.
