Shot types

Within our production we have tried to add in a different variety of shots to cause drama or intensify actions. The use of these alternated shots would allow us to reach higher boundaries in the mark scheme. Here are the types of shots that we have used during our production:

This is a over the shoulder shot of our protagonist character walking into the room in this scene it is a walking pan showing her entrance into the room. The effects of an over shoulder shot is: Filming over an actor's shoulder focuses the audience's attention on one actor at a time in a conversation, rather than on both. in this case we have used the over the shoulder shot in order to gain protagonist characters view point.
Here we have used a long shot of our protagonist character this is used to show a long shot is used to stress the environment or setting of a scene but is not an establishing shot. This is the reverse shot of the protagonist character walking through a door we used this in order to show a variation in shot types in our production.
This is an establish shot normally taken from a great distance that establishes where the action is about to occur. We have used this to show versimilitude as an element of realism within our production of everyday life in crystal palace.
