With our scripts we had to include the sub actions that would be happening such as where the character is moving, what camera shots would be used and the use of the sound in the scene as well as what each character was saying. My scripts idea would be set in a local park where the two characters would be able to act out the scene and build tension as the viewers are watching.
The start of my script explains that when it shows the first shot of the park, the location of where we wanted to film our scene, a car pulls up and stops, when this part is shown a mid-shot would be used to show the car in full detail and whilst its doing so the camera would panning across following the cars movement until it stops. The camera will then show a low close up of the lower part of the car door and shows the persons to feet get out of the car and then close it before walking out of the shot. During the course of this scene diegetic sound will be used to show that the situation is normal and the person in the scene is just an everyday person who is minding his own business, showing his innocence.
The camera will then follow person who is walking towards a nearby bench, using a mid-shot to film them with the diegetic sound of the park and car from earlier are still present. He then sits on the bench using a long shot of the bench from behind to show that he my be looking for someone despite the park looking almost empty. Another Mid-shot from an angle then shows the person on the bench looking around for someone with a nervous expression on his face, a sign that maybe he's nervous about meeting this person who he is waiting for.
Next a long shot is used to show the person from a distance before another person in a hoodie comes into shot and becomes a mixture of an over the shoulder shot, by looking over the hoodies shoulder and the person still sat on the bench, which uses a long shot. When the hoodie appears the sound in the scene changes, Tense Non-Diegetic music starts to play from this point on. After a short pause the hooded figure walks away from the camera towards the bench where the other person is sitting on. The rear Mid-shot of the bench used earlier is used again to show the hoodie sitting down on the bench next to the person who is waiting for and looks up at him. All the while the non-diegetic music is still playing. The shot that follows is another over the shoulder shot again from the hoodie as it looks at the other person who still looks nervous and says to the hooded person "Have you got the Money?". Before this line is spoken the Non-Diegetic sound stops completely to return to Diegetic sound to build up tension of what is going to happen between them. A close up shot is used to show the hooded figure handing over a rucksack to the other person. When the hooded person lets go of the ruck sack, a non-diegetic sound of heart beat begins to play.
Finally, using a long shot, the hooded figure gets up and walks away from him and the camera slowly zooms out as he does so before finally the screen cuts to black ending the scene. The heart beat continues to be heard before one final loud beat is heard before it goes silent after the screen goes black.
My Script for my Preliminary task
After this was completed Dan and I compared our scripts to see if we could mix them together. We decided to feature my idea of someone arriving in a car at the park, but instead of being the guy who is expecting the hoodie, its the hoodie who arrives in the car and walks over to him. Another key thing we decided to link in was that after when the guy asks the hoodie if he got the stuff, the hooded figure exposes half of his face and says "of course I have" and has a slight smirk on his face and then the screen cuts to black ending it. After we arranged how we could add them in, we where able to start our filming.
