Bomb Sequence

To start off our new task of creating a Bomb Sequence about 4 characters, A boss, A Person, A Operator and an Agent, where there is a bomb which is planted within the college and it's the agent's job to disarm it.

The first scene is with the Boss and the Person and the Boss phones the Person to request that they meet them in a certain room to discuss plans. I was away for the recording of this scene, but i still have the footage and i have edited it myself.

The second scene is in the room that the Boss requested the person to go to, this is the first dialouge scene where both characters are in the same room talking opposite eachothe


To record this scene we used the 180 degree rule which is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character. An imaginary line connects the characters and by keeping the camera on one side of this line for every shot in the scene, the first character will always be frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. If the camera passes over the axis, it is called crossing the line

The Third and final scene of the Bomb Sequence is the most important because it involves the Operator and the Agent, this scene is when the Operator detects the bomb and sends the Agent on a mission to disarm it before it blows the college up. This is where i came in because i was the agent. The operator is in an office on the phone to the agent who is on the toilet giving him the instructions. Once the phone convosation is over the Agent rushes out of the toilet into the carpark where the bomb is located, but on the way does some action running down stairs and across hallways to get to the bomb as quickly as possible. Once the agent has found the bomb, the Phone convasation starts up again with the operator asking if the bomb has been found and tells the agent to cut the black wire. But unfortunatly it's the wrong one and the college and the agent get blown up.
