These are a few shots I have taken from other films. The films I have taken them from are "Sinister" and "Insidious". The shots I have analysed are shots I feel I would like to incorporate into my final piece. By Oliver Tiernan

1. SHOTS ANALYSIS
By Ollie Tiernan

2. This shot appeals to me as I could include
something very similar to it in our final
piece. The Fingers on the edge of the floor,
half his face peering up from the ladder the
worry in his eyes show he is approaching
the attic with caution. This is the same
affect I want to have when the characters
enter the attic. By making this shot an big
close up it allows us to experience the
emotions of the character at the time.
In this particular shot, the lighting
is very effective. This shot covers
the top part of his face and the far
left side of the mans face, this gives
the appearance of a light coming
from the attic to attract him.
Something again id like to include
in my final piece This shot is a close
up which again allows is to see the
emotion on the face of the
character.

3. This shot is simplistic yet very
affective. The majority of this
shot is extremely dark, apart
from the ladder to the attic.
This adds to the idea of
something in the attic
attracting the character. This
would be a nice shot to
include in our opening scene.
This shot here could be
seen as an establishing
shot. This would be a
good idea to include in our
work so we could set the
scene in our work.

4. Both shots here can be used in a very
similar way at the start of our film. The
contrast between black and white
gives it an old fashion feel to it. This
could be helpful in creating a spooky
atmosphere and for a flashback. The
shot (top left) would be at the start of
the shot as we track up the stairs. We
could then cut to the shot (bottom
left). This would lead us nicely into the
attic where the majority of the action
happens.

5. The main attraction of this shot
cannot be seen in this picture. The
swinging lampshade in the actual film
could help to create the right
atmosphere in the scene. It could
almost represent a spirit being
present.
In this shot you can see a
dark shadow behind the
curtain. The dark shadow
on a piercing white
background shows a nice
contrast. The audience
would feel tense as they
have no idea who or what
it is.

6. In this shot I really like the tilted angle.
It adds something original to the
scene. The focus on the old
grandfather clock at the end helps to
build up the belief that its set in quite
an old fashion house. This with the
contrasting black and white could be
helpful when creating our flashback.
The attractive feature of
this shot is the ghostly foot
steps on the floor. This
creates a vision of there
being a presence among
them. The high angle shot
used makes it seem as if we
are following the footsteps
from a first person view.
