Shot List For Our Film:

Shot List:

In our opening two minutes of our film we will be using a range of different shots to make the two minutes effective and stand out. We are going to achieve this by using a variety of shots, such as:

Long shots:
This will make the setting stand out and the audience will get a clear understanding of where the scene is set. Usually a film starts with a long shot to show the setting. 






Over the shoulder shot:

To make the surroundings also stand out we will do an over the shoulder shot so you can see what the main actor is looking at and it will put the audience into her position and cause tension. When we have the villain standing across the road waiting for the antagonist this audience will connect with emotions she is feeling. 

Medium shots:
This shot can be very effective because it can show two characters in one shot and you can feel the feelings between both of them within a few seconds. 




Close ups:
This shot is effective because you can focus heavily on the emotions of the characters and identify their mood. It also blurs out everything in the background just to focus on the face which gives the best effect on the audience.


Extreme close up:
This shot is very similar to close up shots but usually the extreme close up fits the whole frame so you can see every detail of the object or face. For example if the camera is focusing specifically on the eyes this is done to create tension or sadness of the image.  


Extreme long shot:
An extreme long shot is done to establish the scene and mood. This has a good effect on the audience because it creates tension as you can be looking at everything all the time so it may suggest that something is going to jump out on you. 



High angle shot:
This has a very good impact on the audience as it again shows the emotions in the face or shows detail on an object. It is also very similar to a birds eye view but instead on using a helicopter, a crane is used to elevate the camera and focuses on filming something on the ground. 


Low angle shot:

Low angle shots are filmed at ground level and are normally used when filming action scenes. This type of shot would be used if someone has gone from walking through the corridor and then going down the stairs or jumping from one building to another.
