Shot number # 1
Action
Alex is seen sitting in a field just outside the woods , waiting for his friend to return.
The killer is just visible behind the treeline who is watching Alex , waiting for the right
opportunity to kill him.
Mise en scene
Overcast weather, set in the woods to give the feeling of isolation as they are
surrounded by trees and bushes etc. The clothes are dark to suggest a depressing
theme. Alex is also wearing a red hoodie that connotes death and danger. The killer is
slightly visible to his dark blue clothing, covering his face. I want the audience to feel
like they were part of the story and are included in the atmosphere of the setting, like
they are isolated just like Alex.
Establishing shot extreme long shot, camera slowly zooms in. Here, I wanted the
audience to start having negative feelings towards this scene. The camera zooms in
to focus where the scene will take place, which is the same with what I wanted to do
with the establishing shot. The zooms also helps the audience to see if they can spot
the killer hiding behind the treeline so they could feel begins to feel worried for Alex
immediately.
Non-diegetic music carries over from the previous scene where it fades out a couple
of seconds into the shot. Wind can be heard gushing and blowing wind throughout
the area. Birds can be heard tweeting after a couple of seconds. I wanted to use slow,
tense building music at the start of this scene to make the audience feel negative
towards it, as they can already guess what is coming if they spotted the killer hiding
behind the trees.
Shot duration
3-4 seconds
Shot number # 2
Action
Alex is still sitting waiting for his friend to return. The killer has moved
position slightly and is still looking at Alex on the ground.
Mise en scene
Overcast weather still looms over the area. Lighting isnt too dark so the
characters are still visible. The trees symbolise loneliness and isolation to
the character that we see in the shot. I want the audience to feel like they
were part of the story and are included in the atmosphere of the setting,
like they are isolated just like Alex.
Long shot of Alex sitting in the field, waiting for his friend to return. The
killer can be seen in the background, hiding behind the treeline. Alex begins
to take out his phone at the end of the shot. The long shot makes the
audience feel like they can see everything, and the killer is even more
clearer in this shot. So when the audience spot him they will start to fear for
Alexs life.
Slow non-diegetic music kicks in to suggest to the audience that something
is going to happen to Alex. Birds and wind can still be heard in the
background. The birds tweeting make Alex look around the area, as he feels
isolated without his friend, and this makes the audience feel like they are
also there, but are alone as well.
