The document discusses various shot types and compositions that could be used in filming a story, including wide shots, mid-shots, close-ups, and point-of-view shots. Specific techniques like rule of thirds, leading lines, focus pulls, panning, tracking, and zooming are proposed for different scenes to convey meaning around characters' emotions and relationships through their positioning and movement within the frame. Locations like a church, street, home, office, and bar are referenced for where different shots may take place.

1. By using rule of third, the shot will be in a church. The blue is
the hand which is out of focus. The coin will be thrown into
main focus of the shot and shown in slow motion falling.
Leading lines which show the women
walking away. The camera will start at
the back of the shoes and will stay low to
the ground as she walks forward.
The shot is taken from behind with a main
focus on the backs of the people however
the shot is focused slightly to the left. The
female is closely seated with her feet up
so her emotions can be seen from this
angle.
Close-up/mid-shot of the couple
to show body language. I.e. as
they are dancing together they
appear in love and intimate.
Headroom
Wide-shot, focus pull on the
female character. Deep focus
shows her on the phone also
tracking may follow her out of the
room to the positioning on the
rule of third.
Focus pull as a long-shot so can
still see other people dancing
in the background. Both main
characters placed on the rule
of third.
The rule of third is used mainly on the
male because it shows how he is most
affected in this scene. It creates tension
as he is angry at Emma for leaving. The
road is used as a leading line down the
road signifying how they may take
different paths.
A light focus is put on the male character,
showing how the female is walking away
in the distance. The shot type is a wide-mid
shot which creates tension because
they appear so far apart.
Close-mid shot to show how the male
has his hands on his face and is gutted
because Emma has left him and their
relationship is over. He is placed
accurately on the rule of third.
Wide-shot using shallow focus to show
the mess in her room. The character is
not so much of a main focus it is the
state of her room and how she is
alone. Panning may be used to show
the state of the room.

2. The long/wide shot is used from a high
angle to see how James is fitting back
into his bachelor lifestyle. Zoom may
be used to show James and how he is
fitting in. Placed on the bottom of the
rule of third.
The shot will be filmed from an angle from
the left mainly focused on a long shot of the
lift from a low angle showing how Emma is
leaving. It may cut to a mid-shot during a
scene of dialogue between Emma and
another lady. Also a focus pull.
The yellow shape shows where the camera
would be positioned in order to film the
shot. As if from the perspective of those at
the table. It shows Emma in a professional
environment and creates an atmosphere of
success.
Wide-shot showing the scene
which will cut to an over the
shoulder shot as she places the
drink down onto James’s desk.
Composition shows James and Emma in a bar
and in a home. The shots will be wide shots.
In Emma’s shot the camera will pan from the
left onto Emma to show how she is relaxed in
contrast to James’s environment where a
handheld camera will be used moving from a
wide shot to tracking James reflecting how he
is drunk and disorderly.
Mid-shot showing James
near the toilet. High angle
shot showing Emma is bed.
Placed on the rule of third. Camera
positioned slightly from the right to
see the females’ facial expressions in
the mid-close up as the male
character kisses her forehead.
Point of view shot/eyeline match for the
first time James ever see’s Emma. The
composition of the shot shows Emma
slightly to the left of the shot and shows
how he has noticed her and immediately
has feelings towards her signifying the
romance of how they first met.
Tracking from a slight angle at the side
following the couple out of the building.
Only the door of the building is mainly
seen as it closely follows the movement
and laughter of the two characters.
Deep focus on the wine
glasses suggesting a
relaxed, intimate
atmosphere.
The coin is followed using pan as it falls
on to the door step. The door step is to
the right of the shot giving a sense of
where the coin is going too. I.e. that the
door step is of someone significant.
Focus onto the hand which
blurs the background out. The
background is the person
whom was in the house having
picked up the coin.
