Film & TV Language: Editing practical video

For this project I will be working with Princess, Gurleen and Sandeep to create a crime drama inspired scene. In this scene we will be filming in the drama room, and Princess and Sandeep will be acting as a policeman chasing a murderer/criminal. Gurleen will be helping in filming as many cuts as possible. I worked more behind the scenes on the written planning for example, script writing and shot-lists, as well as my own planning. Then we will independently work on our editing so we can all create mini films which are similar yet still unique to us.

My editing includes non diegetic and diegetic sound, as well as two match cuts, shot reverse shots and keeping the 180 rule like suggested in the brief.

SCRIPT.

INSIDE SCHOOL BUILDING

Sandeep opens the door, slowly, and confidently walks into the room.

SANDEEP

There you are. 

Princess turns around revealing herself.

PRINCESS

So you found me.

SANDEEP

Remember last time? It’s game over now!

Princess looks at Sandeep in confusion.

Sandeep bangs the table.

SANDEEP

Where is the body?

Princess teasingly waves her bottle.

PRINCESS

What body?

SANDEEP

You think this is funny? Where is the body?

PRINCESS

(mockingly) Oh my, scary!

SANDEEP

Next time it will be scary!

Princess grabs bottle frantically and hits Sandeep

They both start running.
