Today we watched a TV extract which demonstrated hints and tips on how to exert an shot- reverse- shot practically. It mentioned the 180 degree rule and how if you break this your audience could become confused and disturbed. It also illustrated other shots which are usually used before,during and after a shot- reverse- shot. For example before a shot- reverse- shot, an establishing shot should be used, therefore enabling your audience to get used to the surroundings in which the scene in going to be set. During the climatic point in your scene, a close up could be used to enhance emotion in scene.
We started mindmapping ideas for our preliminary task which indicated the themes, camera shots, sounds, mise en scene and locations that could possibly be used within our short extract. We finally settled on an "hospital theme" which we then elaberated on by making a scene from it. We decided to (due to our specification), a nurse telling a relative that his wife has died in a room. This covers the specification of the task, including the nurse entering the room and having a short conversation with the relative of the patient who has died.

We then started our storyboard, scene by scene, which broke down how we are going to demonstrate this extract using various camera angles. We added dialogue which portrayed the primary message of our extract and also added in sound and timing (in seconds, leaving 5 seconds before and after a clip) which means that on Friday the 22nd January 2010 we can get started on the filming of our extract.
(Unfortunately I am going to be absent from the lesson period 4 on Friday, due to an examination. This is going to be overcome by the fact that Charlotte and Adam are going to film what they can without me, then when I return we are going to film the remaining scenes.)
