2. Mise en scene
The use of the black cloaks shows the viewer that the group of people
in this scene would probably be the antagonist. It shows a clear
view of what the genre of the film would be. As they’ve got their
heads covered it shows that they don’t want to be identified.
Because they are in the graveyard it would be more anonymous
than being in a city and therefore shows that they don’t want
anyone to know that they’re there and could also show that they’re
planning or have attacked somebody.
3. Extreme long shot
The use of this extreme long shot is to show the
viewers that the area this film is set in is
almost desert and so there won’t be many to
come to the aid of the protagonists.
4. Long shot
The long shot of the main protagonist running through the
trees in her running clothes shows that she is alone in a
derelict piece of land shows that she is vulnerable. The
fact that she has a jumper on could show that it is close
to, or is winter.
5. Medium shot
The medium shot here shows the area which
one of the protagonists is situated. The fact
that he is sitting down could show that he is
vulnerable.
6. Close up
The close up of the one of one of the protagonists on
his phone whilst driving could show that he is about
to get into an accident. Because of the close up on
his face we can see his emotions and he seems to
be anxious which could distract him and back up the
fact that he may get into a car accident.
7. Low angle shot
The low angle shot of one of the antagonists
who was in a black cape shows that he is
powerful and important. It shows that he
would be stronger than the protagonists.
8. Cut shot
The cut between the cloaked figures in the graveyard
to one of the cloaked figures in a school shows that
he could be looking for something or someone. This
could also symbolise that he is the main antagonist.
9. Pan shot
The pan in the extreme long shot gives the
viewer a better idea of how deserted the area
is in which the movie is set. This gives them a
better idea of the trouble the protagonists
would be in if they got into serious danger.
10. Track shot
The track shot follows the protagonist on her
run through the forest. It shows the viewers
that there is nobody near her that could
come to her aid if she is attacked.
11. From researching the use of micro elements
in films I have learnt about the different
ways to use some of the camera / camera
angle shots. This will help me in filming my
film opening because I now have a better
understanding of the use of micro elements
and where to use them. This will allow me
to make my opening seem more like a
horror film as I will know where and when
to use the different angle to make the
antagonist seem bigger and stronger than
the protagonist.
