Shot List


Shot
Description
Use in our film
Close Up
This shows very little background, and concentrates on either a face, or a specific detail of mise en scène. Everything else is just a blur in the background.
Close up will be used when James wakes up to show his face is tired and the confusion of him being woken up.

Point of view
A short film scene that shows what a character (the subject) is looking at (represented through the camera). It is usually established by being positioned between a shot of a character looking at something, and a shot showing the character's reaction (see shot reverse shot).

It will be used when Jamie first wakes up and when he rubs his eyes. It will also be used when James sees the person when he wakes up.
Mid Shot
A mid shot shows the person usually from the waist upwards, close enough to show facial expressions and also able to shot bod language.
This shot will be the primary shot used throughout the scene
Over-the-shoulder shot
A shot of one actor taken from over the shoulder of another actor. An over-the-shoulder shot is used when two characters are interacting face-to-face. Filming over an actor's shoulder focuses the audience's attention on one actor at a time in a conversation, rather than on both.
This will be shown when James is in the mirror washing his face. We will see James’ shoulder and the reflection of James in the mirror, also revealing Joe watching him.
Low Angle
Low angles help give a sense of confusion to a viewer, of powerlessness within the action of a scene. The background of a low angle shot will tend to be just sky or ceiling, the lack of detail about the setting adding to the disorientation of the viewer. The added height of the object may make it inspire fear and insecurity in the viewer, who is psychologically dominated by the figure on the screen.
This will be used when the character sees a Joe at the beginning; this shows that this character is dominant in the scene. It will also be used when James picks up his jacket, giving us a variety of camera angles.
Extreme Close-up

Used to reveal very small details in the scene. It might be used to reveal horror in a subject. It might also be used in a mystery to show some detail that the detective picks up on or to show some small clue.


Will be used to show the schizophrenic medication, showing the audience that he has a mental disorder.
There will also be a close up of the knife on the doll at the end of the scene to show that there is going to be danger throughout the film
Aerial Shot
This sort of shot would be restricted to exterior locations. A good area to do this shot would be a scene that takes place on a building. If the aerial shot is of a character it can make them seem insignificant
The aerial shot will be used near the beginning of the video to show James is in bed and initial is woken up
