1. Preliminary task 2
In this presentation, I will be explaining my initial ideas for a second
preliminary task.

2. Technical codes needed
180 degree rule
Match on action
Shot reverse shot
Conversation
Parallel editing
Graphic match
Consideration of framing – range of shot types
Range of angles
Consideration of lighting
Tracking/panning – movement
Consideration of mise en scene – costumes, gestures, expressions, setting
Enigma codes and action codes

3. Motivation
The short sequence will consist of one character seeing two others in the street.
That character will be a detective investigating a large drug deal that has
occurred in London.
The two other characters are suspects as they are well known for selling these
drugs from before. The detective questions about the late drug deal. The
detective finds drugs on them and threatens to arrest them. The two characters
are eventually revealed to be brothers of the detective.

4. Who are the characters:
Jack & Bobby – Two brothers who work together selling drugs.
Jack – the younger and more vulnerable one who always looks up to his older brother Bobby.
Bobby – The man in charge, always keeps his cool and wriggles his way out of dangerous situations
with his own unique way of talking to people
Nathan - A serious and keen detective with a mind set only on his job. He is also brothers with Jack
and Bobby, this will be used to create enigma codes in the video.
Why are they meeting:
The detective wants to question the two brothers.
Where are they meeting:
The detective finds the two brothers in a street.
What will they talk about:
The detective wants to know about their involvement with selling drugs and see if they’re staying
‘clean’.
Plan the setting/costumes:
Detective: Suit, detective badge, mobile phone
Brothers: Ragged clothes, cigarettes, possibly drugs

deals occurring in the last week?
Bobby: No, we ain’t heard anything. You know we’re clean.
(Nathan notices perspiring sweat on Jack’s forehead, shot reverse shot)
Nathan: What’s wrong Jack? You’re looking nervous.
