First camera shots

In a group, consisting of Myself, Reece and Emily we first attempted using a of variety of camera shots from different angles in a typical narrative of an antagonist and a protagonist. We used shots such as:

                                                                                 

In this long-shot we are showing the protagonist more in the background of the shot, as the antagonist is closer to the camera and is unable to see him, adding tension to the atmosphere of the shot. Also this shot shows the importance of each character, the antagonist is the 'hero' so shows him as bigger which in turn shows his higher status.

An establishing shot was use to show the context and the placement of the storyline. The picture shows a vast area that the protagonist could potentially pursue the antagonist, like a typical horror story, which was the atmosphere we were trying to create.

                                                                                                                                                         

This shot is a low angle shot, and although he is smiling because he was loving the attention, he is supposed to look evil.

This extreme close up (ECU) , unlike most other ECU's shows some background but magnifies the actors eye (and wonderful eyebrow) which adds dramatic effect to the situation, as the antagonist is unable to see the threat posed my the antagonist.

This was the same shot, taken from 3 different viewpoints; and as you can see each one gives a different perspective on what is happening. The last one we took (from the side) shows how different positions can show what is going on- as Reece looks a lot further away from me than it it shows in the other 2 photos.
