Shot list

Today Gabi made a list of shots that we should include in our opening sequence. The shot list is as follows:
1) Midshot, hand held of Kizzy showing the camera her TV
2) Longshot, hand held of Kizzy showing the camera inside the fridge
3) Midshot hand held of Kizzy showing the camera the view of a car park out of her window
4) Camera zooms into a longshot of what is happening outside in the car park
5) Canted angle out the window, zoomed out a bit, as the camera is put down quickly
6) Hand held longshot showing Mari running towards the car park to help Gabi
7) Longshot of Louka and friends running away from the scene (with the sounds of a siren)
8) Canted tracking shot of Gabi lying on the floor, beaten up
9) Longshot showing Mari and Kizzy on their knees to help Gabi

I tried to include a variation of different shots, to make the sequence more interesting. I included the use of canted angles to make the action more dangerous, and to make my character look more vulnerable and hurt. I also included a tracking shot to show my character, when she is hurt lying on the floor, as I think that this would be an effective way of creating suspense, as if the camera moves quite slowly the audience will be eager to find out what has happened to her and if she is okay.


Here is an example of a tracking shot:
