2. What influenced you choice of theme
After going through the preliminary task, we
discussed what our options could be as a
group. We took this opportunity to create a
project that would demonstrate our how we
work together as a group and our creativity
as a group. Furthermore the show called
“suits” influenced our choice as our scene
was a recreation of an opening scene from
“suits”.

3. How well did your product meet the
original proposal
Our original proposal was a scene from suits ,
in my opinion I think the product met the
original proposal as we recreated it successfully,
especially the chase scene.

4. How well did you plan your production
and what methods did you use?
• We had two weeks, roughly, to plan and agree
upon what our timeline for production would
be. Starting with an initial brainstorm of ideas,
we planned out the framework and filled it in
on a structured shot timeline, and made sure
to incorporate our existing media knowledge
to reduce planning time so we could focus
more on the filming and editing.

5. Was this method effective?
• It was an effective method, as it allowed for
each group member to contribute ideas to the
table, and in turn the production. This
reduced the amount of conflict from ideas,
and made each group member feel like a part
of the project.

6. • Camera Composition can be what is currently in view of the lens and being
captured. Such things as close shot, medium shot, long shot and wide shot.
• Movement is the effect that panning and tilting have on the shots.

8. • Digetic Sound would be sound whose origin point is visible on screen
(such as character voices) – another term being Actual Sound.
• Non-digetic sound is sound added afterwards (such as narrative
voice, sound effects) another term being Commentary Sound
Diegetic sound and non diegetic sound

9. Shot reverse shot
• Shot reverse 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.

10. 180 degrees rule
• The 180° rule is a cinematography guideline
that states that two characters in a scene
should maintain the same left/right
relationship to one another . When the
camera passes over the invisible axis
connecting the two subjects, it is called
crossing the line and the shot becomes what is
called a reverse angle.
