After discussing potential storylines, as a group we decided to base our opening sequence in a doctors surgery. Featuring two doctors, the short sequence will begin with one doctor entering a room with mise en scene of props as a doctors surgery, and the other already present. The two doctors share a convosation over the well being of a patient, a lab coat is passed over and a doctor leaves the room to give the patient the bad news. We decided to use this story line as it shows real emotion that we felt would come across well as a dramatic short opening sequence.

We choose to shoot shot reverse shot throughout the convosation with the two doctors. The camera focasing on the character delivering the speech, then alternating to the opposing character to recieve dialogue from her.
Continuity issues include, when Doctor 2 enters the room and closes the door, when the two characters stand from their chairs, when the surgerns coat is passed over and when one doctor is talking on the phone. This could cause problems as different camera angles are needed so must be shot several times and if the performing character does not match her dialogue with action, difficaulties will occur when it comes to editing with refrence to contininuity.
