Preliminary Task Idea

For our preliminary task, we have been asked to film a short movie introduction that is roughly 2 minutes long. The task has requirements which includes it needing to have the 180 degree rule, shot reverse shot and a match on action shot. It also needs to have a person walking through a door, sitting down at a table and a short dialogue scene with two characters.

The group in which we are working in consists of four people and we have come up with the idea of it being set at a halloween party and involving a cowboy and a mummy. In the introduction the cowboy is seen dancing alone until their phone beeps. They go to sit down and look at their phone. It is then that a mummy enters the halloween party and sits opposite the cowboy, who hasn't noticed them come in. They have something of a 'showdown' once the cowboy notices the mummy, facing eachother with disgusted expressions and the cowboy shoots the mummy with his real gun. The mummy then falls to the floor, dead, and the cowboy rejoices by dancing. It then ends when the mummy then shocks the cowboy by appearing over the his shoulder, saying that they are already dead.
