The document discusses different shot types and camera movements used in a film trailer. It explains that close-ups were used to capture character emotions, while mid-shots expressed body language. Shots were composed to include characters and mirrors. Angles like low angles create a sense of fear or insignificance. While tracks and dollies slowed the pace, steadycam and handheld shots engaged audiences by following characters in a first-person perspective, as needed for a film about possession of mirrors.

2.  Are used so the audience knows where
the film is taking place, we initially filmed
an establishing shot however when
editing we found that if we used it
the trailer
would look
more like a
film opening.

3.  We used a variety of closes ups as they
capture the emotions of the characters
which engages the viewer

4.  We also experimented with intense close
ups, this can show real emotion and fear
in a character , it can create a sense of
tension and claustrophobia to put an
audience on
the edge.

5.  We found mid shots a great shot in the
trailer as it the composition of the most
important part of the character; the
face but also expresses some of their
body
language.

6.  Although their are 2 characters shown in
our trailer the camera never shows both
of them at the same time, however we
included some two-shots because the
composition
is the same
person but also
there reflection.

7.  We filmed a shot reverse
shot however in the trailer it
slowed the pace down
which was not the intention.
However the shot-revere-
shot is still an important shot
as the audience can
experience a conversation
and feel involved with the
film.

8.  This is one of our most important shots and
we use it quite often, because our plot is
to do with the possession of mirrors and
the girl it was very important to get the
characters
and mirrors in
the same shot.

9.  High angle is where the camera is
shooting from above, this can
demonstrate power and dominance in a
shot.

10.  Low angle gives the perspective of
insignificance and fear, which is why it is
and effective shot in our trailer.

11.  Although mainly our angles are at eye
level, this makes it more direct and
realistic especially because our film is
supposed
to be through
the eyes of
the sister.

12.  Pan is a great
movement especially
because our film
consists on the handi
cam perspective,
through this movement
the audience gets to
see the environment
and also builds tension.

13.  A track movement is when the camera
follows the character. We filmed a track
movement however we found that the
shot seemed to boring for the trailer.

14.  Again we filmed a dolly which is the
movement of the character walking
towards the camera but it felt to slow in
our trailer and ineffective.

15.  Steadi cam was a great movement to
use as it is at eye level but you are able
to follow the character round. This is a
great technique in horror films because
as in ours you follow the character in the
mirror and
then they
disappear.

16. Handi cam is are most important aspect
in the film, we filmed in a Paranormal
Activity style and made it a first hand
perspective, this engages the audience
and focuses on point of view shots
through hand
held movements.
