Shot lists

Like most thrillers we are going to use dominantly close ups, long shots and mid-shots to enable an audience to have a clear view of the setting and the characters body language and feelings through seeing their face. However, we do want to try and use shots like high and low angle when the beging, because we are going to be using stairs in our sequence, so we felt if we incoroporated these shots it would be very interesting because it is enabling you to see what is happening through a different perspective and vary the shot types because you do not often see these shots. We also want to try an over the shoulder shot, but have it so that when this shot is happening we see person near the camera from the front, so it is the front of the shoulder, and have it so we can see a figure behind them. We wanted to do a shot like this because it is different from a normal over the shoulder shot and gives the effect that the person is unaware of what is happening behind them. Another shot we decided we wanted to try to incorporate in our film was a match on action at one point because they are very effective shots to use, and can make it seem more interesting becuase there is a variation as to what is happening rather than just having it all as the same for a shot period. We are going to have a point of view shot at the end after we see the guy jump off the edge; the shot will be through the etes of the PI running over and looking at the body over the edge. Another shot we are going to have is at the start an extreme close up of a foot as it steps out of a car to add the sense of mystery because the viewer will not know who it is stepping out and what they are doing.
