Mid Shot to show off Olivia and her clothes, face expression and location Close Up - This shot can be used to show Olivias face expressions Extreme Close Up We can use this shot to show the eyes of Olivia and where she is looking

Some people think that school is the best of times and the worst of times, with the so called popular girl prancing around, with God playing a practical joke on her with beauty but no brains, and with a moustache that we all know that she waxes. Like the girl over there, you couldnt miss here with the ET glow and the look of everyone loves me but in fact everyone hates her. OLIVIA is still sitting on the bench and tilts her head to one side then the other The same people in EVERY sports team; even though he is rubbish at sports in general. And so even when we lose the yearly football match against Ilford Country High School, he still manages to win sportsman of the year. Like the boy over there, making out he is the comedian of the year, and tripping up anyone who comes near him that could be considered too nerdy or freaky. But for me school is a waste of time, half the people I know at the moment I will forget their names in five years. And hopefully this is dump they call A Educational Foundation But as I said school is the best of times and the worst of times. OLIVIA is still sitting on the bench. CUT TO SCENE 2 VOICEOVER Thinking back to my school life, and I have to admit there have been some embarrassing moments in my life to tripping over endlessly and balls hitting me on the head in dodge ball.
I will use a variety of angles when shooting the start of the film such as eye level and high angle. I use different angles to show what she is looking at and also to see more of the character and her important face expressions.

When Olivia looks at the jock, I will use a wide shot to display the jock surroun ded by girls, this adds to the stereot ype of a jock.

INT: SPORTS HALL DAYTIME FLASHBACK

In the sports scene I will use a Long Shot to show off what Olivia is wearing and also the location so the audience can see that is a sports hall. It also allows seeing if anyone runs into the background

OLIVIA is in the sports hall, about to catch the ball. A ball from the opposite direction had hit her on the head. OLIVIA trips slightly causing her not to catch the ball. OLIVIA just stands there embarrassed. EXT: PLAYGROUND DAYTIME
In this part, I can use a Mid Shot from where she is sitting into a Long Shot to show that she is walking away from the bench and towards the doors, I also use a Pan to follow Olivia action into the building

When the girls are laughi ng at her, I will use a wide shot to show all the girls laughi ng at here adds to the eleme nt of embar rassm ent seeing I will use a close to show Olivia looking through the door, the close up displays her face expression well.
