2. SCENE #1
The sequence begins with a close up shot of a water
pipe by a pond with koi fish in. This shot is in a
shallow depth of field shot too – in which the
foreground is in focus and the background .
The shot then slowly pans to the right in which text
appears. The shot goes from shallow depth of field to
deep depth of field – meaning that the whole shot
becomes clear and in focus.
Continuing to pan from left to right, the shot then returns into
a shallow depth of field. But this time, the background is in
focus compared to the foreground. A different text appears
towards the end of this pan. This shot remains as a close up
shot the whole time – there are no tracking movements in
this shot.
3. SCENE #2
After panning from left to right of the pond shot, the shot now changes to a mid-shot of a female character sleeping in
bed with a cat walking towards her. This new shot is introduced by another panning shot from the left to the right.
The shot cuts to a close up of the female figure cuddling with
the cat. This is an effective continuity shot, as it shows that the
cat had jumped up to the side of her bed in the previous shot
and this shot helps to develop the storyline – by waking her up.
4. SCENE #3
This shot is introduced by yet another pan. However, this time it appears from right to left. We can also see that the shot
is in a shallow depth of field – the foreground is in focus in comparison to the background. This pan stays at a medium
long shot as it pans.
The shot then cuts to a close up still shot of the
cassette player and its buttons.
It is here when the words of the song is heard. A slow
pan from left to right shows her lip syncing the lyrics
at a mid-shot.
5. SCENE #4
The shot now cuts back to the pond scene – seen at the very beginning of the sequence. There is a mid-shot pan movement
along this stream, following the koi fish.
6. SCENE #5
The scene cuts again, but this time at a high angle over the shoulder shot. This shot starts from
a mid-shot and slowly tracks/zooms into a medium close up shot.
7. SCENE #6
A new shot is used to enter a new scene. There is 2
second long shot pan from the left to the right .
The shot then cuts to a medium close up of the TV
which now pans from right to left.
The shot then cuts yet again to a long shot of the female
figure walking behind the sofa, which was seen in the
first shot of this scene. This show continuity.
A close up of the cat on the sofa ends the scene –
which helps the audience to understand that a new
setting is about to take place – as the cat introduced
the sequence.
8. SCENE #7
This new scene is introduced by a free hand camera shot
– meaning that it wasn’t supported by a tripod or dolly
tracks to get this shot. The shot starts from a medium
close up and ends on a medium close up.
This then cuts to a still shot, which shows the female
figure driving away at a medium long shot.
A medium shot is kept consistent at this free hand
shot from what could be a moving vehicle. Lip
syncing continues in this shot.
An extreme long shot films the girl pulling up on her
moped from a still shot.
9. SCENE #7 CONTINUED...
The camera breaks the 180 degree rule by filming a long
shot on the other side of her. However, it is made clear
from the previous shot – as it is an establishing shot.
The camera then cuts to a close up shot of her pulling a
confused expression, from the original 180 side of the
line.
The one minute sequence ends on a shot where the 180 degree
rule is broken once again. It is the same shot as previously, but
a closer one and a shallow depth of focus is in use again (the
background is in focus in comparison to the foreground).
