Explanation of my idea

Idea
Mine and Monique's idea was to have her running away to my house. When she is in my house i try having a conversation with her but she gets caught up in these flashbacks of the real story to what had happened. What happened was, she was walking and someone came and put a knife to her throat. Then as they were out of sight Monique retaliated and attacked the random person. It was unintentional but it was to protect herself. This is why she ran over to my house. At the end on the final flashback, there are loud bangs on the door which then we both are standing and staring at the door. This is to make it seem a bit mysterious to the audience because you wouldn't know who is at the door.

Camera
The camera is always places on a tripod. This is to make sure it is held steadily in place. Even when there is a pan, the camera is still on the tripod, it is just adjusted along by hand. We attempted the pan without the tripod to see how it would look. It looked okay but you was able to tell that it had been held by someone. All close ups were direct by camera which meant that we didn't use the zoom on the camera itself but moved it to the specific place where we wanted it to be.

Editing
Throughout our little video, the camera shots are mainly cuts. There is one pan to the side and a tilt down. Other than that, the camera is steady. There are over the shoulder shots on the shot reverse shot scene and a match on action. This was to make it look more realistic. At the flashback scene, there is a high view shot of when the random person catches Monique. This is to add emphasis onto the situation. On the 108 degree rule, we made sure that the camera didnt go past my point or moniques point so that we stayed on the same side throughout the video. This was to make sure that is wasnt confusing to the viewer. Shot reverse shot was used when me and monique were having our conversation in the living room. Every time the image changed we were still in the same position and the previous one. We done this by recording all of our lines in one shot and then cut it where it changed to the next person. Match on action was used Where mnique came through the door. We recorded me opening the door fully and done the same from moniques side. We then edited it so when i opened the door to a certain point we matched it from where it would look like from moniques point of view.
