Identity theft Prep questions

-What techniques of composition & continuity will you use?

Composition in photography is the arrangement of elements within a way that suits the core idea or goal of your work best and continuity is a set of rules for making sure your shots work together. It includes framing, camera position, shot size and editing. Firstly, for my composition technique I would be using a landscape position to shoot. Using composition effectively when working with landscapes is very important because the shot depends on the structure. I will also be using a rule of third technique, and I will do so by dividing the frame into thirds, vertically and horizontally, and then using those lines to effectively bisect my shot. For my continuity I will make sure that the framing is right so that it properly gets my actors in every shot and also to make it clear and visible.

-What Mise en scene (actors, costume, props, set dressing) and why?

For my shoot, I will have two male leads (one victim and one villain). I am choosing to have a male lead as the victim because most Identity theft adverts I have researched and watched mostly have a female victim, so I want to show that it can also be the other way around. For my costumes, the victim will be wearing a bright blue shirt in the beginning of the advert to show a carefree and happy attitude, but at the end of the advert he would be dressed in grey, to show how badly he has been seriously affected by Identity theft. For my villain character he would be dressed in a black hoodie in the beginning and his face would be mostly covered up, to show that anyone can easily steal an identity, and at the end his face would be revealed and he would be dressed in the light blue shirt which was worn by the victim character in the beginning to show that he has stolen his identity. Lastly, the prop that I will use will be a credit card, which is shown at the beginning when the victim character is spending.


-Location or Studio shoot and why? How will you maintain continuity?                                                                                         

The locations that will be included in my shoot will be a High street to first show my victim character walking down the street and the villain character following him from behind while watching his every move. I will also use some inside shop locations to show my victim character spending money with his credit card and my last location would be a classroom. This is the most important location as this is when the victim becomes invisible to all of his classmates and friends because he has had his identity stolen by the villain.

-What is the 180 degree rule & rule of 3rd s?                                                                        

The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen relationship between a character and another character or object within the scene. The rule states that the camera should remain on the same side of an imaginary line and that line is drawn perpendicular to the camera's viewpoint in establishing the scene. Lastly, the rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points. Placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features to flow from section to section. It is the most well-known rule of photographic compositions.
