Preliminary

As Chris walkes down hall medium shot, and a close up of phone holding a message. Then we use a Hand Held Tracking shot of Chris walking down the corridor, then goes into a panning shot from behind the canteen glass windows. Then we see a close up of Tracy looking round the room, and we use another panning shot of chris shoes walking through the door, long shot where we can see both Tracy and Chris. A over the shoulder shot is used when Chris & Tracy exchange words, and this is a shot reverse shot pattern. Then there is a two shot/long shot of Chris & Tracy, which goes into of a close up of Chris hand slapping Tracy, and then the camera pans again as Chris leaves the room, and we finsh with a close up of Tracy reaction. In this task we used the 180 degree rule and the rule of thirds to make it more of a higher level.

180° Rule

The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states the two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera crosses the imaginary line it is called crossing the axes. An example of this looking at the diagram below would be if character 1 (orange shirt in the diagram) is on the left and Character 2 (blue shirt) is on the right, then Character 1 should be facing right at all times, even when character 2 is off the edge of the frame, and character2 should always be facing left. Shifting to the other side of the characters on a cut, so that character 2 is now on the left side and character 1 is on the right, will disorient the viewer, and break the flow of the scene.
