Shot Lists

For our trailer we will be using a variety of shots; this will help enable the audience to get a clearer understanding for our film.The main shots are long shot, medium shot and close up. This is because long shots will help in our film as we cut from long shots of the young girl running down the road oa sudden close up of her facial expressions, showing fear and worry. Therefore this will be much more effective and clearer to the audience what is going on. It will also help create suspense with the low key lighting outside as setting it in evening around pm. Medium shots are effective as it shows the characters body language as well as their facial expressions which medium shots are not meant to focus on, this is used when the parents are arguing as the 'mother' has her arms crossed to show she is angry.. Close ups create the biggest effect on the audience. This is because from a close up you can see the characters facial expressions and reactions to what is going on. This can create tension for the audience. n our film the close ups will be used to express the girls vulnerability.

We will then be using more subtle shots that have a big impact on the audience such as extreme close up, over the shoulder shot and two shot. Extreme close up is used so the audience can focus on the character alone and not get distracted by any action in the background. Over the shoulder shot allows an insight of what the main character can see from her view adding realism to shot. Two shot is a medium shot where 2 characters are put in a frame. This is important in our film as we want to use this when the 'mother' and 'father' are arguing which will have a larger impact on the audience.
