hi everyone..

i have been asked to present a 3 shot action (silent) which expresses relationship between 2 or more characters in my class.. d assessment will be done on

1. shot magnification/angle/movement

3. cutting point

i am kinda stuck as my professor wants something very unique and 'out-of-box' and i havent been able to think of nething xtraordinary...plzz help... will b thankful if i get some ideas....

watch any movie. there will be several scenes with 2 characters talking.

look at how they did the 3 points u mentioned. that should give you some ideas.

and when watching try to think in the context of that movie and the reasons why the angle is whatever it is, the actor position is wherever it is.

Have someone leave his bag of candy unprotected beside someone else. Now this
other guy glances at the candy while the other one looks away. We know that he's
going to take one. Take your time, no cut... no cut... don't even think about it yet - he
makes the move - cut to his face with the eager grin as he picks one - immediate cut
on the the guy who left his candy there as he turns his face that way because he
thought he saw something.

turn filman's sugestion into a romance..

master: man and woman on the sofa, candy bag between...
OTS as man watches woman turn away to look off screen, tilt down to see his had reaches hand in to bag

woman turns back to man, first look of surprise, then shy smile, then they both look down to the candy bag.. same shot, tilt down to both hands in the candy bag...
