Initial Ideas for Prelim

The plot of our prelim was not overly important so we decided to get this over and done with straight away to allow us to plan the rest of our work. We brainstormed several ideas and finally chose a patient entering the doctor's office.
To add some comedy to our piece we made our patient an overweight male, who finds out he is pregnant. We wanted to show how our character was quite large so we wanted to experiment with the cameras to show this (zooming or a handheld, wobbly effect).
To make the conversation abit more interesting to watch and to show the intensity of the situation, we wanted to use a range of shot types (POV, over-the-shoulder, CUs, two shots...).
We also wanted to find a room that we could adapt to seem like a doctor's room. However, the most important thing about our location was that we kept in mind the 180 degree rule whilst positioning our cameras to film.

Below is our initial list of shot types that we used to begin filming our piece-

*Low angle shot from the floor (Jake steps over the camera, wobble affect)
*Long shot from side-on (show him walking towards the door)
*Ped, to slowly reveal Jake (ending in a close up of him eating)
*Point-of-view shot (him knocking on the door)
*Medium shot (Samson turning, 'come in')
*Close up (of Jake opening the door, hand on handle)
*Over-the-shoulder shot (from Samson, looking at door opening and Jake entering)
*Two shot of the desk (Samson is in shot, Jake walks into frame and sits down)
*Switch between over-the-shoulder shots of both characters (dialogue)
*Close up (Jake's reaction the the news)
*Extreme Close up (Jake's darting eyes)
