Shot Reverse Shot

Firstly we got shown 2 picture form the opening scene of Pulp Fiction this showed us who was in the scene and where it took place, we took some notes from each picture we were then asked to re-an- act  the scene using the iPad to film.

Picture 1 
male young  in his  20's
in a cafe / diner
White american/ British
not well dressed (shirt and a t-shirt on) working class
sunny outside suggesting warm county not Britain, clothing he is wearing also suggest this (Hawaiian shirt)

Picture 2
Diner / cafe - sitting in a booth, waitress pouring coffee
Woman white American/British
Plain clothes suggesting not upper class or not working class
short hair
cant tell how old she is, might be young or might be old

we got given a script from the opening scene of Pulp Fiction with a story board and a shot list.
We decided to do our story boarding first then add in our shots to each scene making sure that they looked good and the narrative flowed throughout.

We then had to choose our location. At first we thought of our school canteen as it look most like a cafe/dinner where the scene was set, however it didn't have the right feel to it so we re thought of a new location. We then decided our common room as there were people in there and the seats were easy enough to set up a booth with a table, also in the comment room we have plates and cups, this would add to the feel of the scene making it look more realistic and look as if we were in a dinner/cafe

We then filmed each shot using different camera angles we have learnt such as over the shoulder and wide shots. we then imported them into imovie and edited it making sure we had continuity and match on action.through each scene, we achieved this by staying in the same position when the camera shot moved to another place and started our lines again.

Although we weren't told at the beginning, this task was about Shot Reverse Shot which is when 'you switch the camera from facing one person to facing the other person opposite which is behind the camera, usually used for dialogue.' We then watched our groups and then the other groups version and then the original. we found that even though we hadnt known about the aim of the task we still had  Shot Reverse Shot in some of our film.
