2. In this establishing shot the two characters will be walking towards the old dodgy
looking barn where they will be playing the Ouija board. The shot time will be from 0-24
seconds long.Thisshot will show that the characters are close friends, as they are walking
together and they are wearing similar clothes (Hoodie’s and jeans). They will be walking
in a natural and casual way to indicate that there is nothing unreal about this scene, to
show that everything is flowing naturally. The boys will also be having a random
conversation about something.
3. This will be a close up shot that will track the Ouija board as the boy is carrying it. This shot
will be around 3 seconds, as it is only supposed to give the audience a quick glimpse of the
Ouija board and to indicate to the audience that they will be using this prop for
something, such as playing it. This also gives the audience a sense of feeling that the boy are
up to mischief, as they shouldn’t be playing with a Ouija board.
4. This will be a long shot/panning shot of the boys walking towards the old dodgy barn. This
shot is similar to the establishing shot, except that the boys are getting closer to the barn. This
shot will be 2 seconds.Thisshot is also more detailed and shows exactly what the boys are
wearing and what their body language is. This shows the audience that these two boys are
walking in a very casual and relaxed way and that everything is normal. The audience can also
see a part of the Ouija board in this shot. This shot basically lets the audience know who the
main characters are and what they are doing.
5. This panning shot shows the boy’s arriving at the old dodgy barn. This basically shows the
audience what the setting of the scene is and that the boys will be playing the Ouija board in
this barn. As the one boy points up at the small door above the ladder, the audience becomes
aware that the boy’s are thinking of climbing up the ladder to enter that door, which will end
up with them playing the Ouija board there. This scene also has an association with horror, as
the barn has a very old, rough and dodgy or scary look to it.
6. This will be a tracking shot of the boys climbing the ladder of the barn. This gives a sense
of suspense to the audience, as the ladder is quite high and the audience will want to find
out what will happen next. This shot will be 6 seconds long. This shot will basically follow
the characters walking to the ladder and then climbing up it. The boy on top of the ladder
in this image will say to the other boy that he should follow him up the ladder and that he
shouldn’t be scared. This is when the other boy follows him up the ladder.
7. This will be a point of view shot as the boy opens the door after he had climbed the ladder. It
will be 5 seconds long. This will put the audience in the same place as the boy. It will show the
audience what the boy is seeing and experiencing. This shot will basically show the audience
what the setting is inside the barn and that it has a scary and creepy effect. This shot will also
create suspense and the audience will want to know what will happen next.
8. This will be a medium shot of the boys looking into the inside of the barn after they have opened
the door. This will show the facial expressions of the boys to show what they are seeing. The
boys will have a surprised expression on their faces and they will look shocked, as they are
horrified what they are seeing, but they are still excited to play the game as the setting inside the
barn is perfect for them to play the game as it has a creepy effect. It will be 6 seconds long.
9. This will be a medium shot of the boys setting up the Ouija board in the middle of the ground of
the roof of the barn. This shot will show the setting inside the barn to make it clear to the
audience that the setting has a creepy effect and that it related to the genre horror, as the
audience is expected for something to happen as they start playing the game. The boys will be
having a normal conversations in this shot and they will be setting up the Ouija board on the
ground. This shot will be 8 seconds long.
10. This will be an extreme close up shot of the boy lighting the candle. This candle will be used as
a source of low key lighting, as we need low key lighting for our opening title sequence, as it
relates well to horror movies to create a creepy effect. The barn is also too dark inside, so these
candles will help a lot to create a bit more light in order to show the props and the characters.
Lighting this candle will make the audience aware of the scene and that it has something to do
with spiritualism and the characters will be playing the Ouija board, so this will relate well. This
shot will be 4 seconds long.
11. This will be a close up shot of the boys hands on the Ouija board playing the game. This will
indicate to the audience that the boy’s have started to play the game and that this is where the
suspense will get built up, as the audience will want to find out what will happen next. This create
enigma through the use of the boy’s playing the Ouija board, as something is tended to go
wrong, as normally when you play with the Ouija board, you make contact with spirits, which
doesn’t end up good, so this scene builds up the audiences tension and they know something bad
is going to happen next. This shot will be 12 seconds long.
12. This will be a tracking shot of the boy’s jumping up after they have heard a creepy demon scream in
the back and then they start to run for the door to escape. This scene gives the audience a freight, as
the demon scream suddenly appears out of nowhere and it also gives the characters a huge freight.
After the creepy demon voice, the characters jump up and run as fast as they can towards the open
door on the far side of the barn. This shot will be 5 seconds long.
13. There will be a medium shot of the door suddenly shutting by itself. This gives the characters another
freight and they start to scream and try to open the door. The characters can seem to open the door, it
seems to be locked, this is when the credits of the ending of the opening title sequence come up. This
makes the audience more interested in the scene and they will want to know what will happen next.
This shot will be 5 seconds long.
