Camera Shots and Editing

Our film is going to be filmed in the evening when it is dark and gloomy this will mean that our villains face is hidden and the setting will appear more scary t the audience. It also means that when our victim is home alone it will be more realistic that no one comes and helps her as there will be no passers by at night. However shooting the film in the evening will b difficult as we don't want it to become to dark so that we cant see the characters of their surroundings. 

These are the camera shots that we have selected to use in our film:

Establishing shot- This shot is usually used at the beginning of a scene to show the audience where the scene is taking place usually shown with a wide shot.
Mid shot- This shot shows the object closer to the camera so the audience can see the object in more detail but still feel that they are looking at the object as a whole.
Over the shoulder- This shot is when the camera is behind the persons shoulder showing the object that they are looking at.
Zooming in shot- This is when the camera slowly or quickly zooms into the subject it is focusing on. 

Close up shot- This is when the object fills most of the frame and is shown in detail so the audience can see certain features or part of the object.

Extreme close up shot- This shot will fill the whole frame and show the object in great detail.

Low angle shot- This shows the object from below as the camera is looking up at it.

These are the editing techniques that we have selected to use in our film:

Nursery Rhyme is played over the top of scary music

Loud breathing can be heard by the audience

Music has a soft and sharp tone to it depending on the events of the scene
