Prelim. Planning - Mise-en-scene plans

Sound
In our preliminary task, there will not be any use of non-diegetic sound. we feel that it won't be appropriate for the short film and it would not fit into the film.

Diegetic sounds in the film will include the sound of the door closing and the placement of a glass on a table will also be included.

Props
Props in the film will include:- Books - on the table to add something to the setting and will take away the feeling of emptiness from the setting. A close up will be focusing on one of the books and it will be used as the main conversation point of the film.
                                                - A glass - will be drank by one of the characters and a close up on it will be featured. It will add something to the film and will provide a pause in the conversation, allowing a change of topic for the conversation or it will add tension to the scene.
                                                - Chair - one of the characters will move the chair towards the table whilst sitting on it. This will clearly show the character sitting on the chair and will feature just before the conversation starts.

Editing
Most of the editing between shots will be straight cuts. It is a very simple edit but it is very effective.

Cinematography
The film will feature several 'Over the Shoulder' shots. Mainly,they will occur during the conversation part of the film. they are useful because it shows where the character is placed and also shows what the character is looking at. an 'Over the Shoulder' shot will also be used as the first shot to show what the character is looking at and will show the setting inside the room.

A 'POV' shot will be used in the second shot to show the view from the other characters perspective. It will also show the rest of the setting.

A 'Wide Angle/Low Angle' shot will be used to show the two characters in the same shot and will also show one of the characters walking across the room.

A 'Birds Eye View' shot will be used to show a book on the table. This will be a main topic for the conversation so it is an important shot to feature in the scene.

'Noddy Shots' will be used to show the characters reactions to various parts of the conversation. They are important because they show how the character feels and would show what parts of the conversation are very important.
