The document discusses different camera shots and angles that will be used in the opening of a horror movie. It outlines an establishing extreme long shot to set the location, mid shots to show character interactions, point of view shots to draw the audience in and show the perspective of characters, close-ups to emphasize emotions and actions, eye-level angles to make the audience comfortable, and high angles to demonstrate perspectives against the unknown being and boy. The various shots and angles are planned to effectively introduce the story, setting, and build fear in the audience.

1. CAMERA ANGLES AND
SHOTS PLANNING
For the opening to our horror movie we took in
consideration a range of shots we could use to help
improve our film.

2. An extreme long
shot/establishing shot
 This contains a large
amount of landscape. It
is often used at the
beginning of a scene or
a film to establish
general location. We
aim to use this shot at
the beginning of our
film to show the
audience the location of
which the film is set.

3. A mid shot
 This contains a shot of
the character(s) from the
waist up. From this shot,
the audience can see the
characters' faces more
clearly as well as their
interaction with other
characters. We will be
using this shot as a
general shot to display
what is happening with
the character.

4. Point of view shot
 This shot is filmed from the point of view of a
character so the audience can see what the
character is seeing. We will use this shot to
help draw in our audience to feel as if they are
in the house and experiencing what the
character is. We also plan to use this to show
a first person view from the unknown being in
the house, to hopefully create more fear for the
audience.

5. A close-up
 This shot focuses on one
thing, e.g. a character's
face. This puts more
emphasis on what is
displayed in the close up or
if it is a close up of a
character, it enables
viewers to understand the
actor's emotions and also
allows them to feel empathy
for the character. For our
film opening, we plan to use
this shot to show close up’s
of what the character is
doing, rather than a close
up of the character’s face.

6. An eye-level angle
 This puts the audience on an
equal footing with the
character(s). This is the most
commonly used angle in
most films as it allows the
viewers to feel comfortable
with the characters and on
the same level. We plan to
use this shot throughout the
majority of our film opening
as a general angle to clearly
display to the audience what
is happening.

7. A high angle
 This camera angle that
looks down upon a subject.
These angles are often
used to demonstrate to the
audience a perspective of a
particular character/item.
We plan to use this angle to
display to the audience the
perspective against the
unknown being and the
young boy.
