The Exchange-Planning & Filming

The main scene that follows the party scene is the exchnage of the package between the 'protagonist' and the 'exchange man'. After the 'protagonist' leaves the party, we follow him through the streets with different shots as he goes to meet the other man. We used a variety of shots for this to show the characters continual movement and also his fear of ebing followed or watched as he goes. We used tracking shots, panning shots, shots theough trees and high angle shots as the character walks past the camera to create this impression.
As he meets the exchange man at the chosen location, we used a point of view shot to see the other man exit from behind the trees, then a switch to a medium close up taken from the floor to show their feet meeting. We then used over the shoulder shots and shot/reverse shots to establish their relationship; one which shows a lack of compassion and no real recognition between the men.
The protagonist then leaves and we use a point of view shot to show that he is continuing to watch the other young man.
We show him taking out his phone with an over the shoulder shot, but we make it unclear of the content of the text until it is recieved by the other party.
The final shot of the exchange man is a close up of his face, and we decided to add a cross dissolve on this shot with a shot of the light of the streelamp.
LIGHTING:
For these shots we relied only on the light of streetlamps to illuminate the characters. Originally, we were unsure of the clarity this would provide, but it in fact enhanced our shots as, with a combination of this and night mode, we produced shots with an almost sepia tone that increased the feeling of threat to the character and emphasised his vulnerability in this dark night setting.
