Clip Scene/content Length Shot type Lighting
1 During this scene, there is a quick shot
of Nancy’s face. It shows her being on
a surf board in the ocean and her hair is
sleekly pulled back. She is wearing a
wet suit that’s the size of a swimming
costume as well as 2 necklaces and
some pointed earing.

Close up shot
The close up shot
at the start of this

character and
foreshadowing that
her jewelry may
have a use later

High key lighting
This shows that there
is nothing to worry
about yet with this
shot.
2 This shot shows a wave forming and
rolling over and forming a large wave.
The shot doesn’t show Nancy at all it is

Long shot
The shot is taken
as a long shot to
show part of the
surrounding but
not too much. It
causes the
audience to
concentrate purely
on the wave.
The lighting is still in
high key as which
continues to make
the audience focus
on just the wave as
there is nothing else
to indicate a current
problem.

Challenge
Review the clip again and answer the following questions.
 What are the longest and shortest clips used within the sequence?
 What is the usual length for clips? Why do you think that is?
 If the clips used are particularly long, or short, is there a reason for that?
