My Favourite Hobby - Plan

The brief for this task was to create three minutes of footage around the theme of my favourite hobby using a variety of shots and then edit footage down to 1 minute.  Must include walking to location (10-15 seconds) and a sat down discussion of hobby (1 min).

Examples of shot types, angles and movement types.

Roles

Actress - Zoe Brant

Director - Mary Lawson

Camerawoman - Sinead Grace

Ideas

1. Horse riding.

2. Watching films.

3. Socialising with friends.

4. Reading.

Final Decision

The group has decided to go with the idea of horse riding as this was the hobby that the actress favoured over the four and so we felt that we would be able to gain more footage and create a more personal feeling to the video. We have decided not to make a specific script for this as we wanted it to    seem more natural and so instead the director would ask questions but not include these in the final edit. Instead, we have created a list of shots to include so that we still have a structure to what we want to specifically film - it is only the dialogue that is impromptu.

Shots/Angles To Be Used

- Long shot

- Medium long shot

- Close up

- Extreme close up

- Medium shot

- High angle

- Birds eye angle

- Eye level

'Walking to Location'

The video will start with Zoe walking down a corridor at a medium shot, which will zoom out to a long shot. It will then switch to a set of stairs as it shows her walking up them. The dialogue portion of the video will be shot sitting on a set of stairs as this will allow us to not be interrupted by noise. There will be many different shot types used in the dialogue part as this will make it more interesting than if it were just to use one shot type (e.g medium shot). Once the dialogue is over, it will then show her walking downstairs from a birds eye view.
