We began thinking about the type of scenario we would like to film. The majority of the class decided to film the "being chased scenario". This is a list of the 10 scetions being focused:
1) Long shot on the back of the runner moving away - Possible foreground for P.O.V
2) Medium-close-up of runner crouched in front of the hiding place.
3) Close up on chasing feet*
4) Over-the-shoulder runner looking back.
5) P.O.V from runner to (danger)
6) Close up on chasing feet*
7) Close up on runner's face (fear)
8) Medium-close-up on runner getting up/ struggling (no face)
9) Long shot/ Extreme long shot on "safety" location
10) (split screen) Close up on faces/over-the-shoulder runner turns, still no face of chaser.

5 Shot Sequence
16/09/2008
Today, we were able to choose a scenario in which we had to then make a 5-10 shot sequence for. The majority of the class decided to film the "receiving exam results" sequence in which we had to decide how we could go about filming the process and therefore making it appear as a sequence. My group consisted of three people. We each decided to take responsibility on a certain aspect of the filming process. We decided to film outside the school building. The first shot consisted of me entering the school building looking anxious (long shot). The second was me receiving the envelope (medium close up), the third was a close up of me opening my paper and the fourth was me looking disappointed and throwing the paper onto the floor. I think the outcome of my sequence was rather effective as we focused on presenting different filming techniques by using a range of shots. However, I did feel as though we were restricted with time and could therefore not present the filming sequence in as much detail as possible, although the lack of timing meant that we were able to focus on the most important aspects of the scenario. I enjoyed making the shot sequences and hope to learn how to film sequences in further detail.

Rule of Thirds
The Rule of Thirds is a square grid, divided into a 3 by 3 type of positioning within a camera/video shot. The image within the shot is divided into nine equal blocks, with two lines placed horizontally as well as two other lines positioned vertically within the grid. This technique enables the image taken to have a relatively professional outlook. It often helps if the background featured within the image features an image or a set of patterns which appear to have a look so as to give the outcome of the picture taken a better look to it. It is advised that the eyes within the picture is around the second horizontal line of the grid.
