The Office Scene Filming - Dom

We wanted to do this scene because we felt that the footage of we had of his commute didn't really emphasise his entrapment in the working dull humdrum. Even with a monologue over the original footage we feel that this will add more depth to his hatred of his work and how he really wants out.

For our setting we were lucky enough to be allowed to use a private study room, thanks to our college English department, to resemble our office. |It was perfect for us because it was exactly the type of small, boring and just depressing environment we wanted to show our character in.

here the animatic of the office scene with rough timings of each shot.

The Shot choices.

The first shot, we wanted to show our protagonists feelings to being at work. its a mid close up to show him in an office and the depressed and bored emotion on his face.

These shots are 'twitchy' to try and portray how uncomfortable and awkward he feels in the office and his lack of motivation for what he is doing. In a way, our target audience our bound to have been in this same situation, whether this have been in a dull lesson form when they were at school, or they are in the same situation in a job they hate. this will hopefully allow the our target audience to sympathise for him!

this shot is an over the shoulder high angle shot of his boss coming in. this shows his authority over our protagonist and shows him as weak, and really not in control of his life. the next is a shot of the tedious amount of work he is forced to do. and a reaction shot from our protagonist, showing a depressed look.

The choice of clothing and props can be found here, in the costume update.

Here is the finished scene.
