Camera Shots Used

What Camera Shots Did We Use?

Close Up
We used close ups to the girls and mans face to show their emotions. We had close ups to the girls face to show that she was frightened and not comfortable about the situation she was in. We included a close up of the man to show that he was the opposite of the girl’s emotions relaxed and content about what was going on. We also had close ups of the setting like the gramophone and the phone to show that it was set in the 1920’s.

Extreme Close Up
We had many extreme close ups to the characters faces. We had a close up to the girls eye watering and her biting her lips which again showed that she was worried. We had close ups to her clothing and shoes as well to show her high status. We had close ups to the male characters cigar and hat to show that he was the mistrustful character and that he wasn’t a good character.

180 degree Rule
We had to include a 180 degree rule in our animatic which was needed by the exam board. We had the 180 degree rule when the female character came into the place looking around the room. In out 180 degree rule shot we started from the bell on the wall all around to the phone to show that the equipment and the props we used was suitable for our era.

Tilt
We had a tilt up the building (The Monument) showing that it was a big building when compared to the girl. She looked precious and venerable because she is small compared to the big building. Also we included the tilt up to building to make our audience want to know what’s next. This is because there was no dialogue when she was on the phone so they would want to know why she was scared and why she is there.

Shot Reverse Shot
We also had a shot reverse shot which was also wanted by the exam board. We had this when the male character took out the envelope with the photos inside it. We had his grinning face standing up and the female character with the bag in her handing looking around trying to find a way to get out the building or to find a solution to the problem.

Over The Shoulder
We also included an over the shoulder shot when the female character was sitting on the chair. The male character was behind her talking to her talking about the envelope in his hand. We had this shot also to show both of there emotions and that one was unperturbed and one was uncomfortable about the circumstances.

This is a over the shoulder shot. We used this shot in our Plimenary task just like it was done in the photo.
