9 Key Frames: 666

These are nine key frames that I took from my production. I got my actors and I told them to act out
each scene one by one while I got the perfect picture. Out of 27 images I found 9 images which best
suited the chronological sequence for my film, 666.

Key Frame 1
The scene starts off with a wide shot, in a car and it shows the protagonist Jamie sitting in the drivers
seat alone while he is waiting for his friend, who is the antagonist, Cameron. His friend is facial
expression shows that he is bored. And he sits there looking out the window while waiting. Then a
POV shot shows Cameron leaving his
house and coming towards the car and
we get the POV shot from Jamies
perspective. Cameron, the antagonist
enters the car with a straight face and
does not look well. Diegetic Dialogue is
used where Jamie asks Cameron Are
you ok? then Cameron replies Im fine,
I need to get something from the
house. While he is delivering the
dialogue there is a diegetic sound that
shows everyone that his voice sounds
more like a growl rather than a normal
human voice. The facial expression of
Cameron doesnt Change all throughout
the scene that infers that something strange is going on. Then the facial expression of Jamie changes
as he realises his friend is acting strange. The shot doesnt show any character holding the most
power as it is angled normally. The protagonist is wearing a black hoodie as this is casual wear and
this also connotes his youth, as more mature older men would not usually where these types of
hoodies as the hoodie looks like its for young people. The antagonist is also wearing an unzipped
hoodie with a black polo shirt underneath as this represents him as youthful. There is no non-diegetic
score music in the scene so that the there is tension between the characters and we can also
understand that things are not normal as a tense mood has been set by not having any type of score
music in the scene.

Key Frame 2

A two shot shows the antagonist

leaving the car which then turns into a
wide shot as the antagonist moves
out
of the shot. Non-diegetic score music
begins, which is tense and eerie, as
the protagonist, Jamie is watching his
friend go back into his house and his
facial expression shows us that he is
now feeling a bit anxious and nervous
due to his friend acting strange.
Diegetic dialogue is used as he sighs.
A close up from a side angle shows
Jamie reaching out for his phone. Mis
en scene in the form of a prop as a
phone is used so that we can infer that he is bored and getting impatient with his friend. A close-up of
Jamies face shows that he is getting even more impatient as he lets off a louder sigh. We then see
from a point of view shot that Jamie texts Cameron to hurry up. Then he switches to a game as he is
getting really bored.

Key Frame 3
An over the shoulder shot shows
Jamie texting Cameron What is
wrong with you?! Then he sighs
again, which emphasises how
frustrated he is starting to get with his
friend. Non-diegetic sinister score
music starts to begin. Also the
absence of Cameron makes the
scene more and tenser and it leaves
the audience in suspense due to
Cameron being gone so long. A
close-up of Jamie represents how
impatient he is getting and also the
use of a diegetic sigh shows us how frustrated he is getting. We then get a canted angle POV shot to
show Jamie leaning out his window looking at Camerons house that tells us that he is annoyed with
his friend. Then a wide shot shows us Jamie calling Cameron. Cameron doesnt answer which leaves
the audience feeling nervous and this connotes that something bad has happened. The lighting that
was used in this scene is low-key lighting as the mood is dark and sinister and if we used bright
lighting then the scene wont be as tense as it is now and the atmosphere of the film wouldve
changed. I started using a high angle with the shots after Cameron left the car to show Jamie as
being inferior.
Key Frame 4
Then suddenly there is a diegetic loud bang that scares Jamie. He thinks nothing of it and looks back
at his phone, ignoring the sound. Then he hears the same sound and straight after he hears the
diegetic sound of something calling his name in a whisper. This starts to scare him and he looks out
of his window. We see this scene from a close up which is in a neutral angle showing Jamie from the
side. An over the shoulder shot shows Jamie call Cameron again which gets answered. The use of
diegetic dialogue is used where Jamie hears a voice on the phone that says, Camerons not hear

anymore. Then the phone call ends

leaving Jamie really frightened. Then
the bang begins again and nondiegetic tense music gets louder and
more suspenseful.

Key Frame 5
In a panic Jamie rushes out the car
and a point of view shot shows Jamie
look left and right. Then I used
diegetic dialogue once again to have
someone whisper Jamies name.
Jamie starts to really panic and a
close-up of Jamies feet is shown as
he walks past the camera and as he
walks out of shot, another character
follows him which is shown by a close
up of his feet walking. Jamie facial
expression changes drastically as he
starts getting really scared. The nondiegetic music starts getting even
louder and keeps the tense mood in
the scene. Jamie runs towards Camerons house and calls out for him. The location is dark and the
only lighting in the scene is streetlights to show that it is really late. This makes the scene even
scarier as if it was filmed in the daytime there would be less tension in the scene and there would be
less verisimilitude.

Key Frame 6
Jamie stops still and a close-up shows
this. Then behind him we see his
friend Cameron looking angry and
from his face we can see that he has
bad intentions. He approaches and
hits him on the back of head knocking
him out. Using mis-en-scene we can
see that Cameron has become even
more sinister than he was represented
in the beginning of the scene.
Camerons hood is up and his hoodie
is zipped up as this makes him hidden
as possible. Also by looking at his
facial expression we can see his is not
the person that Jamie knew. After
Cameron attacks Jamie the non-diegetic music cuts off and the scene goes black.

Key Frame 7

The scene fades in and it opens with

Cameron looking really evil and
possessed. A close-up shows this so
we can see Camerons facial
expressions clearly. His hair looks
messy and he starts chanting in a
demonic voice. Non-diegetic music
plays throughout the scene and the
score music that is used is monotone
sound that keeps the scene
suspenseful. Then a shot reverse
shot is used to show Jamie who is
tied up and blindfolded, back to
Cameron who is shown by a low
angle which makes him look superior.
Jamie is shown by a high angle as this makes him look inferior and weak. Cameron looks powerful in
the scene as he is shown by a low angle from the point of view of Jamie. A close-up shows both of
the characters so that we can see the facial expression of the characters clearly. Then Jamie slowly
wakes up and groans. He says, Whats going on? Where am I?! Then a shot reverse shot is used to
show Cameron and diegetic dialogue is used when he says in a demonic voice Youre in the house
of hell. Then the camera cuts back to Jamie and he starts to struggle and screams, Let me go right
now, what are you doing!?

Key Frame 8
Jamie looks like he is in a lot of pain and his hoodie looks scruffier as Cameron kidnapped him after
getting knocked out. Diegetic dialogue is used as Jamie screams out Help! Someone help! during
the dialogue we can still hear the diegetic chanting off Cameron, which is being said in a demonic
voice. Jamie exclaims, Let me go!

Key Frame 9

The camera then cuts back to

Camerons face as he finishes chanting
and he says we need you for
sacrifice. Then a diegetic growling
begins and Camerons facial
expression looks even more sinister
and his hair looks even messier. Then
he starts to smile which shows that he
has been possessed and is not
Cameron anymore. We dont see
Jamie anymore in the scene and we
Camerons hair starts waving about as
there is a gust of wind and the diegetic
growl gets louder and then we begin to
hear Jamie starts to scream. Then the
scene fades to black and then we hear a scream being let of Jamie as he is getting killed by
Cameron.
