Brick camera shots

We have watched the first few minutes of the movie 'Brick'. In this opening there where two main characters, one male and one female. the location was in a school and both characters where wearing clothing suitable to the location (school clothing) e.g. shoes, trousers etc. With in the first few minutes we saw two scenes;

• one in a place which looked like a sewer entrance,the female character was laying on the floor flat on her stomach, dead; with the male character crouched down looking at her in shock with his hands around his mouth.

• The second scene was in the school with both characters alive, this was done to go back in time to show what happened for both of them to get into that situation.

 - Me and my media group got assigned to reconstruct these events in the movie 'Brick'.

• We used all kinds of camera angles and distances to try our best to construct what we saw in the movie scenes of Brick. e.g. High angles, low angles, close-up shots, medium shots, overhead shots and more.

• We also tried to use props to single out our characters, e.g. the female character had a blue bracelet on her left wrist, we used blue earphones to reconstruct it as we never had a blue bracelet at the time. We also used glasses as the male character was wearing a pair throughout the scenes so we did our best to reconstruct this by using a pair of glasses.

• We could have made this better by being more prepared with costumes and props though we didn't have much time to carry out this assignment so we did fairly well for the short amount of time we had to do it.
