Preliminary Match Cut Exercise: Animatic

We were given a brief to film a match cut sequence. It must include a character walking through a door, sitting down and having a conversation with another. We must follow the 180 degree rule and include over the shoulder shots and shot-reverse-shots.

We based ours loosely on the psychotic elements of Se7en and the hard hitting action of The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3.

This is the animatic for our Preliminary Match Cut exercise.

A blindfolded convict is dragged through the corridor of a prison and pushed into an interrogation room. Inside the room is the chief of police. The audience never sees his face. The convict is shoved onto a chair infront of the chief by a guard, who is then asked to leave the room. The chief begins lecturing the convict, becoming increasingly angry. He then stands up and rips off the convicts blindfold. The scene ends with the convicts horrified reaction.
