Preliminary Task: Recording

Over the shoulder shot during exchange of dialogue
On Monday we began to do the recording for our preliminary task. We went to the common room and asked if anyone would like to take part and we got ourselves a volunteer and Jacob from our group acted the other part; due to this he was only able to record a minimal amount but still helped out a lot. We began with a close up of Jack's feet, followed by a long shot taken at a low angle of him walking up the stairs. This was then followed by a close up of Jack's hand reaching for the door handle and opening it, which was paired with and action match of him walking into the building. A long shot and pan right shows him walking up to a small window. An over the shoulder shot begins the dialogue and Jacob says "Oh hello there. What would you like?", this shot is then reversed so the camera is on Jack and he proceeds to speak his lines; the shots are reversed until the dialogue is over. As Jack hands over the money the camera zooms in on the action, followed by a high angle shot of the open draw with the drugs in and a tilt upwards as he hands the drugs to Jack and takes the money. The last shot is a close up of the drugs in Jacks hand as he walks out and this is then taken out of focus.
The lines of dialogue were-
Jacob: Oh hello there. What would you like?
Jack: Hey, do you have any of them 'Zesty Oranges'? [reference to drug]
Jacob: Maybe...
Jack: I've got the money.
