Planning Cinematography

Camera shots are  important in any film because they can create the scene and the atmosphere. If there are jerky or fast moving shots can show that it could be a thriller film. If there is slow motion shots or slow panning shots that can show that it is a romantic film.

One of the camera shots that are used in films is high angle, this is when the camera is positioned above the object and this makes the image look a lot smaller. We will use this shot when when me and Brittany are on the floor and thinking of planning the  ouija board.

Another shot which will be used is zooming in- this is when the camera moves in and out of an object to create importance and to draw the audiences into closer relationship with the subject. We are using this shot when the movie comes to an end when taylor appears outside as the ghost and he is behind me and brittany and we have no idea he is there.

hand held shot is used to produce a jerky, jumpy and unsteady shots which can create a sense of uncertainty or chaos. We are going to use this shot when me and brittany first start to realise that strange things are starting to occur in the room, using this shot in our thriller will create a sense of pandemonium. this is when we decide to do a ouija board and there is an element of panic in the room.

Another shot that we are using is a panning shot when the ghost starts to move around the room and then the camera is trying to pick up the ghost and the audience can be involved in the thriller by seeing what is going on and seeing what the ghost is doing.

Overall my target audience will build a relationship with the actors from how the camera shots interact with the actors and
