Kieran was filmed walking though a deserted space with a blank expression on his face and blank body language.
The shots used today include establishing shot, medium close up and low close up. This scene is very short which explains the small range of shots.
Here are some stills of the footage Rhiann took
We took a lot of different shots for the first scene to establish the setting and the appearance of the character. We used a long distance shot so the viewer gets a full body shot of the character which allows them to understand the characters purpose or position through the costume. We used some close up shots to do the same thing, but this time we let the viewer understand the character though facial expression, as the face is the key part in the mise-en-scene and allows the viewer to see emotion (or in this case, lack if emotion).
A low angle shot was used to connote his authority. Rhiann followed him walking whilst crouching down before him, walking backwards as he came closer. This tells the viewer that this character is the powerful one with a high social status.
Long shots were also used to to establish the location so the viewer is able to see the desolate and abandoned landscape and then start to develop an questions as to why this man is in this kind of terrain. It hooks the audience and makes them want to watch on to find out his purpose.
Could really do with a lot more detail in terms of what you did and how it went. Remember, the more of an insight you give into the process (for example, when shooting the reasons for particular shots, and problems you faced and solutions you came up with) would all help. Similarly, when editing you could give an overview of what you are doing and how the work is developing. Detail and depth are both crucial.
