For this task, I designed a storyboard to portray a sequence of events that told the story of a person running late. I used a Canon 77D DSLR camera and tripod to shoot the footage. The story of a person realising they are late and hurrying away is a good way of demonstrating sequencing as it involves distinct stages that are quite different. I used an establishing shot to locate the scene. I then used close-up and over-the-shoulder shots to gain a more personal feel of the character, in addition to point-of-view shots to again build a sense of familiarity between the character and viewer. I used a pull-focus cutaway shot to break up the sequence and provide some interest and texture to the clip (Schenk and Long 2014). I overlaid royalty-free music from the online download site ‘BenSound’ onto the clip, as I felt it did not require dialogue to tell the story; use of facial expression and body language informs the viewer of the situation without the need for speech. I found this task enjoyable to complete. I enjoyed creating and filming the sequence and experimenting with different camera angles and creating an atmosphere for my piece. To indicate progression of time, I used different shots such as cutaways and match cuts to suggest a compression of time and build pace in the scene. For example, the shot of the character running down the stairs is broken up by a match close-up shot of their feet as they descend the stairs, giving a sense of urgency to the scenario. I also ensured that during filming the scene I considered the 180-degree rule. This meant that I filmed from left to right throughout the piece, as reversing the lineage of the shot would disorientate and confuse the viewer (Cook 2011). In future practice I would further develop the lighting in my location as I felt some of the shots were dull and felt unengaging, which does not encourage the viewer to continue watching. I feel that learning these techniques and how to effectively film a sequence will be useful to me as a journalist, as the skills I have developed are transferable and I will be able to use them when creating journalistic pieces such as documentaries or more cinematic interviews.
