3. In this scene from ‘The
talented Mr Ripley’ there
is an over the shoulder
shot, which is angled
downwards, as two men
fight in a simile manner
to our sequence.
We used a similar shot
in our sequence,
however tilted our
camera up rather than
down and we shot the
person who was
attacking the person
rather than the victim.
4. In this shot from ‘Eden
Lake’, the woman,
surrounded by greenery is
positioned slightly off
centre as she shows
emotion on her face,
whilst looking into the
distance.We used a similar shot in
our thriller during the
breakdown, which happens
at the beginning of the
sequence. I like this shot
because it offers an
interesting background
however stills draws focus
to the character.
5. In ‘Bronson’ during a
fight scene I saw a
reaction shot which I
liked as it shows the
impact of the hit from the
victims perspective.
To the audience we don’t
want them to know that
Gabe was in fact the
person who started the
argument, so this shot fits
in perfectly with what
were trying to achieve.
6. This is close up from ‘The
Dark Knight Rises’, where
the Batman is showing
severe aggression
towards the joker and we
see this through his
intimate choice of holding
his collar and shouting
into his face.We also used this shot a we
particularly like the close
intentions of it and the
vulnerability it gives to the
opposing character. I also
found myself feeling one
step closer to actually being
within the scene, which I
hope this shot achieves to
our audiences.
7. ‘Silence of the Lambs’
proceed a shot of Hannibal
Lecture striking down on a
victim with a police baton. It
is shot from a low angle,
which essentially gives this
character a lot of power and
makes him seem dangerous
and aggressive.
In our thriller we chose to
use this as it gives our
character much more
power and authority,
perceiving him as an
aggressive and in control
character.
8. When looking at Kyle Cooper’s work on the tittles in se7en we
