Type of Shoots that we are going to try and have in are film opening

Here are some of the type of shots that we are going to try and have in are film opening and also a little about each of the type of shots.

Close up- This is where the character/actor is being filmed fills the frame, this is often used to show the emotion felt by the actor while being filmed. For example if the character had just done something of significance and was showing the right emotion this shot can be used to emphasise the emotion that the individual is feeling in that moment. we are going to try and use this when we are looking at the main character


Medium shot - This shot consists of half of the subjects body , with their costume and face still visible for the audience to see. This can be used to show the surroundings of the individual but also the emotions there are feeling at the same time. It is effectively used in horror films especially when creating tension of somebody coming up behind the subject. We are going to try and us this when we are filming the police officer and the best friend talking.


 Dutch Tilt - This shot used by which subject or object that is being filmed is tilted to an angle. This shot is often used in mostly horror films to represent confusion and if someone is disorientated . A tilted shot such as a dutch tilt often connotates confusion or panic that the subject is feeling. We are going to try and use this when we are filming the main character running through the woods.

An Extreme Close Up - This is used in horror films to emphasise something, for example if the close up was of the character hands and the actions they were doing with them, then that would be emphasising the actions that the individual was about to do with there hands that has a important of relevance to what is about to happen.Say they were going to do a close up of the individuals hands with them holding something like a gun or a knife then that would be highlighting that something bad was going to happen to the person holding the knife or gun or something bad is going to happen involving the knife. We are to use this shot when we are looking at the main girl character and her reactions are. 

The reason why we wanted to have these range of shoots in the opening was because we wanted to show a range of different skills in producing these shots and also we wanted the audience to feel like they was in the movie. By using shots like the extreme close up it lets the audience to see the fear in the main persons eyes and you also wonder what the are looking at.
