After learning about camera angles and shots, it was decided by our practical teacher that in order to get the hang of it we should try making a movie of five minutes, sort of like a basic preliminary video. After the groups  were made, I decided to construct a theme for the short movie, a theme which was both simple and related to school/college life. Since the OCR requirement was to have a dialog shared between two people, while the subject should travel from one place to another to get to the other person. During the whole five minute movie, the subject and his/her environment should be shown properly to the viewer using different camera angles and shots. The mise en scene should be appropriate, making the viewer very much aware of the genre of the particular movie.
  My fellow group members readily accepted my idea on basing the theme to school bullies and victims. It was decided that we would entitle it as A-Lone(making it clear that the subject in this movie is miserable) and after showing a scene of him getting badly beaten up, it was decided to show him walking into a school building and enter a counselor's office, where he would share a dialog with him and be consoled by him. Then the scene will fade, and the next scene will show a later time, at which the boy is happy and surrounded by friends.
