Preliminary Task Evaluation

 

A high angle shot of a stair case is then shown, with a different figure slowly walking down the stairs looking like they know where they are going as they are not rushing. The surrounding is quite as we see no one else around, which creates a sense of mystery as to where they are going. The shot then leads onto a long shot of the same figure walking across a path way. As it is a long shot you cannot fully see where they are or where they are walking to. This creates  a sense of mystery for the audience. As they are walking behind a fence the audience are unable to see what the figure looks like. This creates suspicion for the audience.

A shot of a door is used to show a reflection of the figure in the window walking down some steps towards the door. This is effective as it creates a variation in the shot type and shows the figure itself is shown on the screen. It also gives the audience a chance to see their face, however not very clearly.  We see a close up of someone's feet walking down some stairs at a fairly slow pace. This shows they are in no rush. This is effective as it leaves the audience wondering why they are being shown this and where they might be going.

There is another character shown in a long shot. This is effective as you can see they are in a long corridor and as they are both in a building could connote that both the figures may walking to meet each other. The long shot only shows the figures back, so we are unable to tell who it is. This links with the other character as we haven't seen their face clearly yet showing some relation between the two and that they do not want to be identified at this very minute. The shot that follows is very effective as its a long shot of a different corridor showing a silhouette walking past. As it is dark we are unable to identify who the character is. This is effective as this could be a completely different character that both the other figures do not know about therefore creating suspense.

When the character sits down, we only see the side of their face which is more than what we have seen throughout all of the other shots. However we still can not establish who the character is as we are not shown a full shot of their face. Once again this is effective as it leaves the audience with suspicion as to who these people are. We are then shown the other character walking in, going to sit down opposite the other character, now showing their face, unlike the other character still not wanting to be identified.

The first bit of dialogue is shown, where we can then see a close up of the characters face saying "who did it?". This is the first time we see the characters face properly. This now means the audience are less suspicious because they can now see the faces of the characters. However there still is suspicion as to why they are there. The dialogue that is used infers that something has happened and they want answers. This is all shown though an over the shoulder shot. This shot is effective as it makes the audience feel as if they are the other character because the character is speaking facing the camera and looking at the camera. The face of the other character is finally shown through another over the shoulder shot. More dialogue is shown as we see the other character reply "I don't know". The character says it in a relaxed way as if they are trying to be smart and not give anything away to the other character, This shows that they must know what has happened but has chosen to not say. This leaves the audience with suspicion about the whole situation as they don't know what has happened. It also leaves the audience wondering whether the character actually knows what has happened.

It finishes with a shot of the character who perhaps knows what is going on walking a way in a relaxed and calm state. We can tell this by the pace of the walk and the fact they smile when they walk through the door. The character walks through the door with a smug look on their face. This is suggesting they have the upper hand in knowing what is going on.
