Camera Angles Used In

Our Thriller Opening Title

Sequence
By Ella McGregor

Zoom OutWe used a zoom out edit so we get a

build up of photos being kept in this
room. The atmosphere is even
creepier the more images we get,
which has transitioned nicely due to
our choice to zoom out.

Wide ShotWe felt a wide shot would really help our location(2)
come across as a scary environment. We wanted
Jessica to come across as very small compared to
everything else. Therefore this will emphasize how
young and vulnerable the child is .

Tracking ShotA tracking shot was perfect to help portray the

young girl as being followed, this helped our
storyline come across to the audience. Also builds
suspense as people will have a few questions on
where the movie is going to go.

Canted AngleThe canted angle helps us fully get

across the intentional use of a
Handheld effect. This was essential
as we need people to fully
understand that the camera is in a
antagonist perspective.

Mid-Shot This shot was very effective when filming as even

with a small shot compared to the previously used
wide shot Jess still looks small and we get a closer
look at the mise-en-scene used, which once again
has enthuses on her age.

High Angle ShotThe high angle shot is perfect to make a

character look vulnerable, which was exactly
what we wanted for our young actress. This
shot make her powerless and weak.

Low Angle ShotWe used a low angle not for the

generic use of portraying
dominance. But for showing the
young girls playfulness and put
enthuses on her youthfulness.

Framed ShotThe framed shot makes the camera come across

as hidden and not wanting to be seen. We wanted
it to look like the antagonize was watching the
girl, making the shot seem more sinister.

Extreme Close-up The extreme close-up allows the audience to see

a clear view of the girls face. They can clearly
identify no mise-en-scene (such as make up) has
been used, making the girl come across as
innocent.

Over Shoulder ShotOnce again puts enthuses of the

camera being in the antagonized
perspective. Also shows the poster
has been put there recently showing
a timeslot for the title sequence.

Pan
We decided to use a panning shot because we
thought it would make our story clear that Jessica
was being stalked by someone who is hiding. The
panning shot shows that he is following her and she
is the antagonists victim.

Hand- held cameraWe decided to use a hand-held camera

because again we wanted it to be from the
antagonists perspective as if they were
filming Jessica secretively and as if they were
hiding and filming her without her knowing .
