Our task was to film a dialogue between two people. There were given shots, we had to use. We had to use a shot – reverse shot, long shot and we had to use the 180° - rule.
We decided, that we wanted to use the school as a topic because it was easier to find a place to film it. We decided to make a dialogue between a teacher and the headmaster.
The teacher has a very complicated life at the moment and is very often late to school, so the children don't have a teacher for a longer period. The headmaster can't trust her anymore so he has to fire him.
Our establishing shot is on the headmaster (played by Ella) who is sitting in her office and looking annoyed on her watch because she is waiting for the teacher (played by Elisabeth). The next shot is on the teacher, who is coming from the steps to the door. She sorts out her outfit and opens the door. At this point, we used the shot – reverse shot because the next shot is a close up on the door handle. The next shot is a long shot on the headmaster's desk, where she sits behind and the door, where the teacher comes in. For the dialogue, we used the 180°-rule by turning the camera to the person who is talking. When we filmed the scene in the library, we put the camera on a tripod and filmed the dialogue two times. Each time, the camera was focused on one of them and the other's shoulder was in the corner of the screen. So when we edit the film, we only had to cut the scenes and put them together in the right order. At the beginning of the film, we added the sound of a watch to show, that the teacher is already late.
