Preliminary Video Plan 2
Preliminary Task : Planning 2
Length of Preliminary Video:
2 Minutes
Situation:
A news report where the news interviewer interviews a man who is distressed about a local leisure centre being broke down and is campaigning for its survival and she interviews him and asks him multiple questions about how he feels and so on. While this interview is going on, a man is in the background doing funny and stupid things. He has clearly not been on camera before and relishes the chance to finally be on TV. He does a number of silly and humorous things in the background of the interview and he uses a number of different props.
Casting Notes:
What?
Who?
Why?
Director/ Producer/ Cameraman/ Script Writer/ Editor
Dale Stewart:
Because it is my task so I must produce, direct, edit and write the script and I chose to be the cameraman because I can have the camera positioned the way I want.
News Interviewer
Samantha Street:
I chose Samantha because she is very formal, polite and fits being a serious news reporter. I think she will be very good as a news reporter.
Campaigner
Trey Dunbar:
I chose Trey because he is a very normal guy and is also very funny but also very serious. As a normal man campaigning to keep the leisure centre up, this man ought to be very serious while also being funny but as if he didn’t mean to be funny. This is how I see Trey so I think he will fit the role perfectly. Also, Trey loves the camera.
Background Guy
Daniel Ashfield:
I chose Daniel because he is naturally funny and humorous and can perform different gestures at extremely high funny levels. He is also over the top, over exaggerated and a natural actor.
Location Report:
The Meadway Leisure centre or Rivermead in Reading would be ideal as I would like to film it at an actual leisure centre to make it really authentic. So I will probably film it at The Meadway Leisure Centre because it is close to everyone.
Script and Stage Directions:
Camera starts on Samantha (news reporter) at a medium close up and she addresses what is happening to the camera
Samantha: Good evening, I am Samantha at Prospect news and just behind me is the local Reading leisure centre which is set to be brought down in two weeks time. The council insists that the leisure centre is not being used regularly and that the space could be used for better things. New flats are planned to be built at the start of next fall. But this decision has caused major upsets across the town who suggest that the council have got their statistics wrong as many people do use the leisure centre. Here we have with us, Trey who is a campaigner against the destruction of the leisure centre who is here to discuss his point of view.
Camera turns as Samantha turns towards Trey (campaigner) who was stood just out of camera view. Camera is still on medium close up with both people in view.
Samantha: Hi there, Trey
Trey: Hi
Samantha: So can you tell me what your view of this is.
In the background, a person is walking past (Daniel) and he notices the camera. He smiles and starts to wave his arms and do different gestures whilst simultaneously, the interview continues.
Trey: Well, I think it is utterly ridiculous. Many people, like me, use the leisure centre on a regular occasion and leisure is very important to the lifestyle of many people living here. Their statistics are wrong because there are a lot of people who attend the leisure centre and have memberships.
Daniel continues to do funny things in the background. He starts to use props such as a Scottish mask and Viking helmet and starts dancing in the background.
Samantha: And what can you tell me on the council’s plans about building flats in its place.
Trey: It’s preposterous. We already have enough flats around anyway, flats are being built everywhere all the time. There is no other leisure centre around locally while there are loads of flats. It is unfair and selfish to the company and its customers as we are left with nothing.
Samantha: What will you do to stop the leisure centre from being brought down?
Trey: One thing’s for sure, we will not give up. We will continue to protest and stand for our rights. Shouldn’t we have a choice on what we pay our taxes for, we don’t want the flats, we want our leisure centre and we won’t stop until justice is served correctly.
Samantha: Thank you, Trey.
Trey: Thank you
Camera then turns back to Samantha and Daniel follows the cameras track and view continuing to do silly things.
Samantha: Well, as you can see, it has clearly distressed a number of people but the council just doesn’t seem to be listening. How much more pressure will the council take from these protests or will they continue to ignore. Samantha Street, Prospect News.
Daniel waves goodbye in the background.

Preliminary Video Task
Preliminary Task: Planning 1
Length of Preliminary Video:
3 minutes
Situation:
My situation is going to be a prank where a man thinks he is having a genuine interview for a sales advisor job but is secretly getting pranked for a TV show called ‘The Pranker’. The actor on who plays the employer giving the interview asks the interviewee abnormal questions which are irrelevant to do with the job interview. The main objective for this TV show is that the interviewee gets fooled by the prank.
Casting Notes:
What?
Who?
Why?
Director/ Producer/ Cameraman/ Script Writer/ Editor
Dale Stewart:
Because it is my task so I must produce, direct, edit and write the script and I chose to be the cameraman because I can have the camera positioned the way I want.
Employer Actor
Daniel Ashfield:
I chose Daniel to be my employer/interviewer because he is a natural actor and have GCSE and A-level grades for drama. He is also a humorous person so I think he is perfect for this role.
Interviewee
Jonathan Mahon Daly:
I chose Jon as my interviewee because he is confident in front of the camera and is also very funny but serious. Although he didn’t take GCSE or A-level drama, he is also very good at acting and can play the unexpected role of the interviewee perfectly.
Location Report:
My ideal location for this would be a medium sized room with no windows, a table and two chairs. It has to look secluded and has to look like an office. I have no where like that in my house or any of my friend’s houses so I could ask to use a teacher’s office to film this interview but that would require ion school time which would be difficult.
Script and Stage Directions:
Camera focuses on door as Daniel (employee) watches. Jon (interviewee) opens the door and walks into the room. They both smile and shake hands.
Daniel: Hi there, I’m Daniel. If you would like to take a seat.
He walks towards the table as Jon follows as camera tracks. Camera zooms into Daniel’s face into a medium close up as he fiddles with Jon’s CV and looks at it reading aloud.
Daniel: So you haven’t had any experience before?
Camera switches to Jon at medium close up and continues to switch to whoever is speaking.
Jon: Except for work experience.
Daniel: Yes, can you tell me a bit about your work experience? Like what did you do, how did you find it?
Jon: of course, well I stocked shelves at the back and cleaned around the place…
Jon goes off speaking about his work experience and after a few seconds the camera switches to Daniel and he is nodding and smiling the suddenly interrupts him saying:
Daniel: Can you do 10 pushups?
Jon looks confused and frowns.
Jon: I don’t quite understand
Daniel: You know, 10 pushups, 9 + 1...
Camera switches to Jon who stares with a quizzed look etched on his face. Camera continues to flick through the blank faces…

Sharpe's Peril Camera Work
Sharpe’s Peril
This episode of Sharpe’s Peril starts off with a wide shot of Sharpe’s little army then cuts to a mid shot of a man that pans it to Sharpe as he gives him the telescope. As he looks out, it then cuts to the opposite army which is possibly a point of view shot to show what he is looking at. It then cuts back to Sharpe a she puts his telescope down with the same shot to show his expression and it the cuts to a mid shot at his army as it tracks through to show their expressions too.
Then there is an extreme wide shot to show the immensity of how big the opposite army really is and maybe showing their point of view as well. It is back on Sharpe with another character behind him to the left of the camera to show he is new and being introduced to the scene. It cuts to a reverse shot of Sharpe as he turns around to see him as they converse. As they do, the camera moves to a over the shoulder shot for the old man and vice versa, this is to show they are having a conversation. It is then onto a side on view with a hinted angle as another character is introduced and the camera stays on them as they talk. As the other two characters leave the conversation, it stays on Sharpe as he turns around and the camera moves backwards and more to the left to get another character in to show that Sharpe and this other character are important and about to have a conversation and it is also to show that Sharpe’s attention will now be on him.
It then is back on the same shot but with a gap between them as another character is introduced as Sharpe’ turns again to the sound of his voice. They then walk away as the camera faces them as it tracks them and they move into a position so that the camera is on a mid shot side view of the characters which is the master shot. This is also used to show the scenery in the background with the opposite army in the distance to show the circumstances are still there as they talk. It then goes to over the shoulder shots as they converse. After they finish the conversation, it stays over Sharpe’s shoulder at the boy as he is told to leave, the camera is fixed and the boy walks off the view to show he has left and then Sharpe leaves after him to show he has left.
He then returns back to the man with a normal mid shot as they talk about the army, as they talk about them, the camera keeps on cutting to different parts of the army as he then calls out to them and the camera cuts to a normal shot of Sharpe quite far out with a lot of the army soldiers faces still view for us to see their impressions to what Sharpe is saying and the camera tracks him as he speaks. I then goes to a close up of Sharpe as he get show the more important part of his speech to show impact and emphasis.
As a man walks out onto no mans land, one of Sharpe’s men notices it and shouts out to Sharpe as he is far away in a tower, Sharpe turns to look at him, the camera focuses on the man as he shouts the news to show he is the important person giving the news and then it focuses on Sharpe as he looks for himself using scenes of transition.
Then war breaks loose and there is a reverse shot as Sharpe and everyone take cover as they run past the camera and it goes on a to a wide shot of a side on view as the camera tracks the army running to war as the action comes into place. The camera cuts much more often as the tension rises and more action is coming such as cutting from the horses running to Sharpe’s army getting ready and then cutting to a worms eye view of the horses feet to show how fast they are going but to also show how quickly the pace is quickening up. Both armies then meet and then it quickens even more as it cuts almost more than a second every second of people shooting, people falling off horses, people running, people having sword fights. This is just to emphasise the action side of the episode to grab the viewers eyes. There is a lot of different camera shots used in these actions sequences but they are mostly close ups and there is some scenes of transitions.
It then shows Sharpe fighting but is a side cut showing his full body and it tracks him as he moves and it is a long cut to show he is more important and different from the rest. Sharpe then has a fight with a man with the camera facing Sharpe and the man with his back facing the camera. He kills him and the camera then swirls around Sharpe so it is then facing Sharpe’s back to show what he was then looking at and what was his next target so we come more involved in Sharpe’s character.
As Sharpe takes a knife for another one of his mates from the leader of the other army, it then focuses on the fight between the leader and him and the camera is really shaky as it watches them fight to add to the drama as if we were there watching. It adds dramatic effect to the scene.

Britannia High Camera Work
Britannia High
Starts off with an shot on a glass which catches the audiences eye straight away and then pans onto a master shot with all the characters sat down with their eyes on the blond boy who is stood up. This is to show that he is the important one and is the main character in this scene as in this case, the one being contradicted.
Then it is on an eye level shot of the boy who was speaking to make the audience feel more involved in the conversation like you are apart of the conversation and sitting down with them. The camera is also a bit shaky to make it feel more natural to the scene rather than a fixed shot on a tripod. The camera flicks through peoples reactions to what the boy is saying and then it cuts to the blond hair boy at a mid shot at eye level to again make the audience feel involved. The camera then cuts through with different people speaking with the eye level view and then goes to a close up of the boy who was originally contradicting on a side view as he mutters one word shaking his head to show that what he had said is different and important to the rest of the conversation as they used a different camera angle. They continue the dispute and then the camera is at a close up of the blond boy when he reveals something to show that it is important. It then carries on with the conversation with close up’s on the characters and then the camera is back on the blond boy as he walks away from the mid shot while the camera pans and follows to show he is leaving the conversation. They then continue to speak and then the blond boy walks off from a fixed camera shot which adds the affect that he is fed up and has left which then cuts to a shot of him walking up the stairs with most of the characters still in the shot to show their reaction.
It then cuts to a setting the scene shot where it shows fast bits of different London scenery with a red bus (which is typical London) and graffiti to show where the next scene will be. It then cranes down a building to show where the characters are and to show how big the building is. It then cuts in to everyone having a conversation at eye level again, and then another girl walks in the camera pans her and then cuts to a camera shot of her at a mid shot to the right of the camera with the other boy who mainly contradicted the blond boy at the left sitting down quite far back. He is out of focus and she is in focus to show that she is the important one who is delivering the news.
It then does another quick scene change and shows quick cuts of a bus leaving and then to a field with cows and farm area. It then opens a scene on a tree leaves which shows the new setting they are in is a rural area and is likely to be the countryside. It is focused on the tree with the group walking in the background out of focus and then it focuses on the group using depths of field. It shows a reverse shot of a couple and then a mid shot of a couple of girls as they are walking and talking and then the camera stops as the girls walk past the camera. It then goes to a full shot of all the group as they figure out which way to go. After a bit, they reach the house and the camera zooms in on them staring at a front shot to emphasise their disbelief and the a reverse shot of them but with the house in full view to show how small they are compared to the house to emphasise how huge the house actually is and then back to a front shot.
It then cuts to a high shot of a room with the blond hair boy and his father playing pool and it shows the whole room to show how rich he is. It then cuts to the father at a mid shot at the right of the camera leaning on a pinball machine with a massive bookcase to the left of the shot to show how wealthy his family is with the pool table still in view. It then cuts back to the boy with the same technique used to show how wealthy he is by having a jukebox to his left with a massive fireplace to his right. It then shows him walking down the stairs to answer the door at a high angle shot which shows the stairs, classy chandelier which is again used to show how wealthy he is. They then come in and sit down and it is sort of like a repeat of the first scene where they were all sitting down and the blond boy was stood up getting questioned again. Everything is the same with eye level shots again all at mid shot for the conversation and then everyone leaves for lunch and the camera shows the room and door with everyone leaving and then it pans and follows the kid walking towards the blond kid to show that they are about to speak together on their own.
It then carries to over the shoulder shots at close ups of both characters to show that it is just them speaking in the conversation and then the other kid walks off whilst barging his shoulder as he walks past the fixed shot of the camera to show that he has left the conversation.
