Prelim Post Filming Analysis

We chose our location to film in to fit in with the scene. As we were in a hospital waiting room, we couldn't use a classroom with lots of learning posters, etc. We also used a meeting room as we could use the chairs and windows to look like a waiting room. The glass window and chairs made it seem like you were inside the room and people were going by outside doing their own jobs.

We filmed the 180degree rule by only staying on one side of the characters. We made sure that the doctor was always on the left and the patients woman on the right. This ensured the camera was always in the right 180 semi-circle. The match-on-action footage was filmed when the doctor opened the handle of the door and we saw this in the shot, then it went onto the woman, and when the camera returned to the doctor, he was standing in the room. This is match-on-action as we can not see the doctor enter, but we assume he has as we saw the door open and he is now in the room.

We changed our initial idea by including little details, i.e. props. We borrowed a lab coat for the doctor so it makes him look more realistic and believable to the audience. We also adjusted the room (moved tables and chairs about). This helped to, again, make the scene more believable as the chairs looked like they were set up in a waiting room. We wrote the doctors names and occupations on the white board to seem like the real hospital. We also changed the people who played the roles. We changed the female nurse for a male doctor so that we could include different sexes and show things differently.
