Shots in our movie

Camera shot/angles list
 Mid shot- a mid shot Shows some part of the subject which is usually a mid section of a character in relative detail while still giving the audience an impression of the whole subject. for our movie opening we aim to include a mid shot like this when our male character descends from out of the car- to show his masculinity...however we may also include mid shots to show our young casualty girl in the arms of the murderer. This will show the man from a mid shot because we will see his arms cradling the young girl- and although we will see a lot of the girls body- a mid shot will frame the body in the mans arms. The effect of this shot will identify the male nature of the character who steps out of the car so even without dialogue the mise en scene in the mid shot can be particularly noticed with a tightly framed shot.

Two shot- this is a shot of two people, typically in conversation or interacting with each other and they are generally framed similarly to a mid shot with mid sections and details being considered. for our movie opening there will be multiple two shots because our opening revolves around the interaction between two particular characters. the best example of a two shot in our piece would either be when the girl is being escorted to the bog area in the arms or her murderer..or when a two shot frames both characters as the man looks down upon the girl he has hit. the effect of this shot will allow a 

relationship and connection to be built with the characters.

 Over the shoulder shot- this is a shot taken from a behind view, the camera appears almost to be resting on the shoulder of a key character-Looking from behind a person at the subject. for our opening we want to use an over the shoulder shot when the male character is driving away...the effect of this will make the audience feel as if they too are in the situation of the man because it is a very close and tightly framed shot and allows an alternate perspective- not just looking on both the characters but actually looking from the point of view of a character. This shot will also have the effect of making the audience feel closer to the character because it is filmed in a car- a tight environment.

 Close up shot- this shot is when A certain feature/ object or part of the subject is filmed in closer detail with features taking up the whole frame. In our movie opening the most prominent close up shot is going to be the view of the murdered girl-this is because we want there to be heightened attention paid to the drastic accident- and the blood special effect makeup to be noticed. this close up will have the effect of almost shocking an audience- engaging them more into our film. also the close up will show the audience what to pay close attention to- specifically the girl- because it is her resurrection that dominates the plot of the movie.

Canted angle-  this A camera angle which is deliberately slanted or angled to one side to create disorientation in the scene and uneasiness. in our movie opening, we wanted to use a canted angle as the girl begins to resurrect and stand up from her dead state. The effect of using a canted angle here would mean that the uneasiness of the girl rising and her struggle limping and clumsiness would be reflected to the audience. 

Extreme close up shot- this is a extremely detailed shot that frames key aspects such as closely framed  facial expressions, body language or objects. in our movie opening we wanted to use an extreme close up to film the girls hand as her body regains life because her hand could stand symbolically to represent life and her holding on...or even foreshadow the ending of the opening also filming her hands pressed up against her murders car window. the effect of this extreme close up would show her hand in severe detail so that audiences will grasp better understanding and see the events as more realistic. 

Long shot-  a long shot generally Shows the location, but can also frame the entire body language of a subject. for our film a long shot would most likely be used to capture our key male character in his location to create the effect of there being a link between the character and his derelict sad dark surroundings. 

Editing 

 Match on Action- Match on action is simplistic, it simply is an editing technique where the perspective of the camera changes during a scene and the scene continues to flow. this idea of flowing is essential to movie editing because the audience need to feel as if the shots fit together- almost like a jigsaw and the audience feel as if they too are in the movie. in our movie opening we aim to use the match on action technique throughout because we feel it is the best and most interactive movie making quality. however, the most prominent match on action presence will be when the man descends his car because we will piece shots from different perspectives together- for example a close up of him clutching the door, mid shots of him stepping out and then finally a close up of his feet as they hit the ground. the effect of this will make the audience feel more involved and make the editing more fitting.

 Shot Reverse Shot: this is a classic filming technique where one character is shown looking at another object or character (prominently off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. (Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other). in our movie opening we aim to include this particular editing tecnique when showing the man looking at the girl he has hit- which will then reverse from his expression and reaction to what he is looking upon and back again. 

 Pan: Panning is generally a slow camera movement that connects action and scenes with a smooth flow. You can pan from the right or left at a variety of paces. In our particular film we wanted to include a pan to show the direction the man is walking when he approaches the casualty and when he approaches his car - however we also could use a tracking shot for this particular scene. the effect of this shot would almost show the audience what 'main' character to follow.
