I have been asked to film a small video of a person walking into a room and starting a conversation. I will plan this out and then begin a script and cast.

This shot is taken from the side of the prince but also showing the other characters while doing so. It is focused upon the character showing his physical expression while having the light down above his head. The makeup and scenery shows us that this is a fictional movie and we can tell that it could possibly be a thriller or action from the men holding the weapons.

Analysis of the Dark Knight stills

This shot shows Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) infront of the Batman costume to show the contrast between the two types of personality and that they are two different people. The shot is also focused on Bruce, while blurring the costume making it seem that Batman is almost upon him. The shot is close up showing the expressions clearly, while still managing to capture both persons.
This shot is taken from the front side of both characters showing their facial expressions aswell as their body movement. The room is bland and is grungey replicating the joker's feel and theme. The light is focused upon the table hitting the joker's side face and batmans top head. The rest of the room is darker and urban and rough, this also tells us the mood at this moment in the movie.
This image is of the Joker at the start of the movie, with a close up of the face and over the shoulder shot. The light is shot from just over his left side from behind. Although we can't see the expressions of the character nor his eyes, the sense of emergency is given from the man standing behind him point at gun at him. It shows the audience something he cannot see.
From this point of view it shows the joker from behind and it hides his face as it is the start of the movie and because he obviously does not want to be seen. The fact that is shows the shot in the middle of a square in a public location tells us he is not scared to show who he is and what he is capable of. The shot captures the whole of the character but the way that it only shows his mask looking at the camera menacing and instantly tells us about the character and what role they could be taking in the movie.
