PHONE CALL TASK 1: FILMING


Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.

FLICKR PHOTO SET



PHONE CALL TASK 1: FILMING

- You will film a conversation between two characters in three different locations.


- CHARACTER 2 is delivering a bomb to CHARACTER 1 and must have a bag as a prop.


- Each group will follow the shooting grid exactly.


- Groups will film all eighteen shots in order (1-18).


- First film CHARACTER 1 in LOCATION 1 (SHOTS 1-9), then move to LOCATION 2 and film CHARACTER 2 (SHOTS 9-16). Then film the two shots (17 & 18) in the 
G BLOCK CORRIDOR.

N.B. Films are rarely shot in narrative sequence. The aim is always to shoot everything in a particular location before moving on to the next one.

TARGET AUDIENCE - PART 1



‘Audience’ is the people who watch, read, buy, listen to, or use a media product.
