Ideas for Preliminary Task

Idea 1:
Character A= the buyer 

Character B= The kidnapper 

Character C= The child

One of the ideas our group came up with is Human Trafficking. The idea will be to film in a cafe as it is popular meeting place. We will have character A sat down at a table already. There will be match on action as character B and character C come from outside, through the door and into the cafe. Character C will be dragged by character B. There will be use of shot/ reverse shots when the characters are speaking dialogue and character C will only be mainly seen when the exchange is made. Money will be taken using a close up to highlight the significance and the deal will be done. Using a sound bed to emphasis the importance of the entertainment and also to add to the continuity editing. We may also use depth of field for the exchange to highlight importance.


Idea 2:
Character 1: Gang Leader


Character 2: Person forced into working for gang


Another idea our group came up with was a gangster style scene. The idea will be shot in a dark, dank room. As it is a setting that has associations with this idea. Character 1 will be already sat at a table in the room. There will be a long shot of character B walking in through the door, taken over the shoulder of the character A, depth of focus will be used to add meaning to the action . There will be shot/ reverse shots taken while the characters are talking, a package will be thrown across the table, using match on action shots, then a mixture of close ups and mid shots would be used, to add significant meaning to the character walking out. A sound bed will also be used to add meaning to the action.
