Preliminary Task Photographs

This is a close up shot of a hand about to open the door. I used a range of shot types in the film to engage the audience's attention by differentiating what is shown on screen. The close up shows the viewer exactly what is going on in the scene and therefore they feel as though they're there.

This is a long shot of the back of a girl as she enters through the door. I've used a long shot as it establishes the surroundings, the audience get a greater and fuller view of the setting. They see what is happening as well as where it is happening and it may well be somewhere that they can identify with.

This shot is also a long shot, it shows the girl from the front walking through the door. I included this shot as it tells the story from more than one perspective, this is good for the audience as they know exactly what is going on in the scene. This shot and the next one demonstrates the 180' rule: the character is shown from two perspectives within the range of 180 degrees.

This is a long shot that establishes the scene and the setting. This shot shows exactly what is going on so the audience do not miss a thing. From this distance we recognise the layout of the scene and the posture of the characters. This is the second angle of the 180' rule. The scene is continually showed so that continuity is represented in the short film.

This is a mid shot used to show the characters talking, it represents speech and action within the scene. It is almost a shot over the shoulder of one of the characters showing things from their point of view. The audience feel as if they connect to the characters.

This is close up of one of the characters mid speech. I have use this shot as it shows the emotion on her face and this is conveyed to the audience.

This is a close up of the other character listening and just about to talk, which also shows the emotion and intent thought on her face. This shows the match on action camera technique which switches between shots: for example the characters talking.

This is the final shot of the scene.It shows a girl just finished talking, it is a mid shot in which we see the uncomfortable posture in which the audience recognise something isn't right. We also see the emotion on her face. This shot also ends the match on action and is the climax of the tension created.
