Shot list

Shot type What it is How I will use it effectively

Match - on - action
Establishing shot – panning
Tracking/ crab shot
Mid-shot
Long shot
Close up
Extreme close up
A form of continuity editing
used to maintain clear and
continuous narrative. A cut
between two shots that
places two different
framings of the same action
next to each other, making
it seem uninterrupted.
A long shot or extreme long
shot which establishes a
sense of location within the
scene.
This is where the camera
moves alongside the
object(s) it is recording. It’s
similar to a dolly cam shot
in that sense but isn’t
placed on rails and pushed
along a track.
A shot taken at a medium
distance.
When the camera is placed
far away to capture a large
area of view.
A shot that tightly frames a
person or an object.
Shows extreme detail of a
person or object.
I will use this shot to clearly
show protagonists psychically
picking up and receiving the
invitation.
I will use it to establish a sense
of place within the viewer.
This will be used to follow the
characters every move and
follow where they go within the
narrative.
Mid-shots will be used for the
partying scene as there’s only
them at this party, so mid shots
will create the illusion that
they’re still having fun despite
not many people being at the
party and making the most of
the strange situation.
I will use long shots when all the
characters are having
conversations so that all the
characters and their body
language can be seen. I will also
use it to highlight the
relationship of character and
environment.
I will use close ups to capture
the teenage characters reaction
upon seeing Malum and to help
convey a sense of fear.
I will use it for shots of the
antagonist’s face and cutaway
between the party scenes to
create the impression that
Malum (the antagonist) is with
them the whole time. Also, it
should reiterate the sense of
fear within the viewer as it’s
more intimidating than a shot
further away.

Arc shot
Point of view (POV) shot
Canted angle/oblique angle shot
Shot list
Full or semi-circle around
characters. Helps to see
characters reactions and
emotions.
Point-of-view camera and
editing used to create
audience identification with
characters in a film. They
often use the technique to
place the audience in the
position of the main
character. The point-of-
view.
A camera angle which is
deliberately slanted to one
side, sometimes used for
dramatic effect to help
portray unease,
disorientation, frantic or
desperate action,
intoxication, madness, etc.
I will use this type of shot to
capture the reactions upon
seeing Malum (antagonist) and
show how they mutually feel
fear.
Allows the viewer to get in the
mind of the characters and
envisage what they are going
through creating a more
personal aspect.
Creates disorientation – I may
possibly use this when the
actors are trying to escape as I
think it could highlight the
struggle. I may also use this to
aid the portrayal of intoxication
and the madness of the party.
