The Xchange Project

Our first Media project set was a task to film a series of events.
The genre & location of filming was left for our choice, so this meant that the contents of our project were left in our hands.

Our group consisted of 5 people - Emma, Sam, Roo, Garry & I. Each member had a different but equally important role in the success of the piece, and all of the members of the group used input to make the project satisfactory to our needs.
Our storyline was very basic but was appropriate to how far we had progressed in the stages of the course so far. The storyline was that a man, dressed in black, we pacifically chose these colours because it perceives the character as mysterious.
The man then enters from a lift & walks out, with his head down, so he does not identify himself. We then used various camera shots, we used a mis-en-scene to show the corridor the man would be walking down. Then when the man starts walking down the corridor we used a Canted camera angle from a high-angled shot, this effect gave the idea that the view from from a CCTV effect which I believe was extremely useful for the piece to have.
Next was a low angle shot of the man walking towards the camera, this I believe was a good effect used. We then used a close-up of the door handle which the man opens. We edited this part of the clip to emphasise the sound of the door opening so that the viewer knew exactly what is going on.
The clip after was a panning of the room, this is a mis-en-scene effect to show the Boss (Sam) sitting at her table. After was the mid close-up of the man walking to the table and sitting down. We used another editing tool to emphasise the bang when the man slams down his briefcase, we used this to add a dramatic effect to the clip.
We then used a short amount of Dialogue to make the viewer get a better understanding of the storyline. The man sits the down and the Boss says 'have you got it?', the man replies 'of course i have it', this is making the viewer wonder what they are talking about, then the boss continues with 'i knew i could rely on you'. We used a point of view camera view for both caharacters in this scene looking at the other character.
