Evaluation 'Bedroom Scene'

•     This scene depicts the main protagonist sitting in the middle of a bed staring down at a music box. This scene including two shots; the first being a pan from behind our main protagonist, and round to face her. The second shot was a close up of her slamming the music box shut. 
• The music box was a pink one with a teddy bear in a pink dress spinning round, it also played a tune which we recorded so that we can use it as part of our music. We also recorded the sound of the music box being wound up to maybe use as the beginning of the trailer.
  
•   The first shot started as a mid shot behind Amy (main protagonist) she was wearing her 'party dress' and wore her hair and make up in a girlish manner to keep the continuity of the other shots. Instead of using a tripod we just handheld the camera so that we could have a better continuous shot without it looking unprofessional. We moved the camera round from behind Amy, and panned it around the side of her until we were in front of her. This continuous shot proved difficult as keeping our hands steady was tricky, however we got a good continuous shot that we were happy with.
• The next shot was a close up, low angle shot looking up at Amy as she slams the music box shut. We angled the shot so that when the music box was open you couldn't see Amy's face, yet when she slammed it shut you could see her full face. A good effect was that when the music box was open it played the tune, however when it shut it abruptly stopped. The shot was tried various times as we got a shot of Amy looking into the camera, but also staring straight forward, so that when we edit it gives us more options.
• We decided to do an extra shot in the bedroom scene. This was an over the shoulder shot, where we positioned the camera so that in the little mirror in the music box we could partially see Amy's face, and also see the teddy bear spin around. having this extra shot gave us more options so that when we edit we can play around with all the different shots.
