Script

Once I had got the hang of the three shot types I had to write a short script, this took some time but eventually I had ideas and soon had it finished. I used several films and trailers for inspiration Including "The Devide," "28 days later" and "Specter" which is as of yet un released.

Script

*characters take their seats*
Character 1- What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and everyone was gone?
Character 2- What? Gone like, as in dead and gone or just... vanished?
Character 1- either... you wake up and everyone is dead... a nuclear attack or zombies... whatever.
Character 2- I’d uh... try to survive...
 Character 1- how? What would you do? Where would you go?
Character 2- I’d gather what I could, food, medicine and stuff, maybe a knife, I dunno.
Character 1- No weapon, you haven’t played many survival horror games have you, not even watched a post apocalypse movie?
Character 2- I don’t watch movies but... I play COD.
Character 1- *groans* COD, is not a survival horror game, good thing

Preliminary task research

The preliminary task involves a continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180 degree rule.
Before this could begin I had to research these three key elements.
