An establishing shot is usually the first shot of a new scene, designed to show the audience where the action is taking place. It is usually a very wideshot or extreme wide shot.

Is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

Melodrama  

 

• The film will be framed using the proscenium filming technique where the camera is a distant observer of the action that is static, and this is keeping with the traditional silent films. 

 

• I will also use title cards to make the film seem like an authentic film from the silent era as I want it to pay homage to the classic melodrama films of the early part of the 20th century. 

 

• The style of acting will be over-exaggerated since the actors will not be speaking and they will have to communicate their feelings to the audience by using facial expressions and gestures.

• A young man bumps into a girl who is running through a forest, she is knocked over and the man asks if she is okay, she says that she is being perused and she continues to run into the forest. 
• A few seconds after the Girl runs away a man appears and he says that the girl is a Princess and that she ran away in order to escape an arranged marriage, the man asks if he has seen her and the man lies, he says that she went in the opposite direction and the man runs of after her.  a few hours later, the man, who is the Princesses’ betrothed is seen dragging her through the forest and the young man comes up behind him and smothers him. 
• The young man walks up to the Princess and apologizes for scaring her and he tells her that he hates it when people’s free will is forcibly taken from them and he tells the princess that he will take her to safety. 

• An epilogue shows that a few years later, the Princess and the young man get married and live happily ever after.  

To become more familiar with the camera and the settings involved I took some still shots of this hole puncher. I played around with the exposure and ISO to see what difference it made. As you can see some of the photos are more blurry that others this is because of the shutter speed, you can also see that some are darker than others and this is due to the ISO which controls how sensitive the camera is to light and colour.

Fade In:

INT. DINING ROOM – Night

On a cold winters night ANTON,  sits at the table smiling at something on his phone. Its a series of pictures of him and his friends, they seem to be having a great time.

EXT. NEXT TO ROAD – Night

KRYSTIAN crouches against a stone wall, right next to the gate of the garden he must infiltrate. He looks at his watch then crouches in front of the gate and peers over. After a short while he quickly hops over the gate and into the garden.Then he gets up confidently and starts walking towards the window, round the tree, cracking knuckles and doing a few stretches as he goes.

INT. DINING ROOM – Night

KRYSTIAN’S jump could be heard faintly which perks ANTON’S attention slightly. He looks up from his phone with a slightly confused look on his face. He gets up and looks out the window from behind him, it’s difficult to see outside. All he can see is a few metres in front of him. All the while the steps are dramatically getting louder. Finally ANTON recoils from window as he sees KRYSTIAN approaching. The scene ends in blank slate.
