Shot lists

When filming our opening sequence a number of different shot types will be used. These are described below:

Shot 1: Establishing Shot/Panning: This is a shot that has a wide field of view and serves the audience with the surroundings of the situation they are about to see. We are using this shot when showing the location of the opening sequence, which is a park.

Shot 2: Extreme/Close Ups: This is intimate view shot in which the subject is tightly framed and shown at a relatively large scale. We have used this shot to show water dripping from a leaf, this creates an atmosphere.

Shot 3: Mid Shot: This is a shot of an individual which will take in the body from the knees or waist up. A mid-shot will be used when the character Jamal is walking along the park.

Shot 4: Close Up: This close up will be used to show Jamal stepping into a puddle; this gives the audience an understanding of the gloomy weather.

Shot 5: Long Shot: A Long Shot typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings. We use a long shot for this particular scene to show that Jamal is walking in the park and is alone, this adds to the eeriness of the scene.

Shot 6: Long Shot: This shot again shows Jamal walking through the park.

Shot 7: Point of View: A point of view shot is a shot that shows what the character is looking at. We use this to show Jamal looking at the pathway is walking along.

Shot 8: Point of View: This is used again when Jamal is looking down at a lipstick that he stood on, on the floor.

Shot 9: Extreme Close Up: These have been included when seeing shots of Jamal’s eyes to show his expressions and emotions.

Shot 10: Focus Pull: A focus pull is when either the object in the foreground of the frame is blurred and the object in the background is focused, or the other way around. This was used to ensure the audience were focused on the dead body and not what was in the background.

Shot 11: Focus Pull: This is another shot showing Brooke's dead body.

Shot 12: Extreme Close up: These are used again when showing Brooke Morgan’s body parts to give the audience an understanding of how she died.

Shot 13: Mid-Shot: We we use this when the camera zooms out to reveal Brooke's body.

Shot 14: High-Angle Shot: A high-angle shot is when the camera is high up looking down towards the scene. This is used in our opening sequence when Jamal is looking at the victims hand and picking up a note from her.

Shot 15: Point of View: This is used when Jamal is reading the note he found in Brooke's hand.

Shot 16: Tracking: This means that the camera follows the character either from behind or from the side. We use this when Brooke has a flashback of her running away from her murderer.

Shot 17: Mid Shot: This is a carry on shot which shows Brooke's bleeding hand whilst running.

Shot 18: Extreme Close up: We again show Jamal’s horrified facial expressions through an Extreme Close up.

Shot 19: Low Angle Shot: This is a shot from a camera positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eye line, looking up. We have included this when Jamal drops the note on the floor which then blows away in the wind.

Shot 20: High-Angle Shot: A high-angle shot is when the camera is high up looking down towards the scene. This is used in our opening sequence when Jamal is reading the note he found in his own pocket.
