camera shots and angles

close up -A close up is used to focus on a certain part of a scene , such as a characters face or a significant action or object. It isolates the thing that is zoomed in on and completely focuses the audiences attention to that specific point. We use this shot when Rosie is captured and is crying so you can focus on her emotions , and see exactly how she is feeling.


POV/ point of view
This shot is designed to show the audience exactly what the character is looking at and focus all their attention on that one point in the frame . it is used to show things of great importance for example a character reading something important or the look of someone's face as the character kills them for example. We plan to use this shot when the kidnaper grabs the girl because then it makes it look more realistic and will cause the audience to reaction to be more real because they will feel the same emotions as the characters.


Over the shoulder shot

This shot shows something fro over another characters shoulder , it usually is used for a convocation  so you can see the character speaking abut also don't completely block off the other character , this gives the shot a more natural flow and doesn't make it just seem like a jolty back forth. We used this shot when Rosie`s sister opens the door and when the detective is speaking to Rosie`s mother.
 

Establishing shot
An establishing shot is used to show the setting/location of a act in the film or just a single scene . It helps the audience understand what is happening more and can save on further explanation in the scene because we already know where they are. We will unlikely use this shot because we want to give the story more mystery and revealing any location will take away from the mystery of the story.
 
 Extreme close up 
This shot is used to focus on one tiny feature or object to show its significance , it is often used at eye level if a character is crying or is in great anger, or on very small objects such as a marking on something . We will use this shot when Rosie is crying and have the camera t eye line to show her tears coming out her eyes, we choose the eyes because that the part of the face that shows the most emotion in a small space , for example you can tell how someone is feeling just by looking in their eyes .



Long shot
A long shot is used to show a character in the entirety of a room or environment in perspective. We used this shot in our film when the two girls are being followed by the antagonist just before the abduction.


Mid shot
This is similar to a long shot however it only usually shows from the waist up, it is used to show a characters  emotions and body language at the same time. we will use this shot to show the antagonist following the two girls as he walks after them.



Camera angles 

High angle shot
The high angle shot is used to look down on a person or an object , this makes them look weaker and vulnerable because you are looking down on them , for example a shot of a weaker person in a fight with the bigger stronger person looking down on them.We used this shot throughout our trailer to show how dominant the antagonist is as he always looks down on his victims.



Low angle shot
This is the opposite to a high angle and instead shows how powerful and dominant a character is because the camera is looking up to him. We didnt use this angle in the trailer but if we had made the entire film we would have been sure to use it as it fits perfectly with our characters persona .



Canted angle

This shot is when the camera is on a slight slant so the frame looks slightly different and could be distorted. We used this angle when the kidnapping happens and it is slightly blurry as well to add to the confusion.
