12. INSPIRING STILL SHOTS
High Angle Shot
Effect of shot: to make the
character seem
vulnerable, small, scared.
•I would use this in the making of
our opening sequence as it
would make the character/s
seem venerable, scared, lonely
etc. to the audience
Over the Shoulder Shot
Effect of shot: to show that one
character is having a conversation
with another character.
I would use this in our opening
sequence to show that when one
character is talking that the
audience can see who they are
talking to.

13. Close Up Shot
Effect of shot: To show the audience
the characters emotions/ feelings.
I would use this kind of shot in the
opening sequence to show the
character/s emotions s that the
audience is drawn in by them
Low Angle
Shot
Effect of shot: to make a I would use this in the opening sequence
character/object seem powerful as we would want to show a character
and in control that is seen to be powerful
