8 Shot Sequence: Ralph Slee, Sam Taylor, Liberty Martin, Amari Miller, Lucas Sturman

Close up:
A close up will be used in order to show the characters
emotions to the audience so that they can clearly
comprehend the characters reaction to proceedings,
this will then show the audience of the type of mood of
which they are in

I could use a close up in my short film as it would


capture the Lucas' sentiments when he finds out what
occurred to his younger brother. This will allow the
audience to understand that he is furious and was
fuelled by retribution.

Extreme close up:


The extreme close up shot is used to allow the
viewer to truly connect with the character
intimately. This shot type reveals certain
characteristics and emotions that would have
otherwise gone overlooked from afar.

This shot type could be used in my short film as it


would allow me to capture raw emotions which
would impact the audience deeply.

POV Shot:

A POV shot or point of view shot is an angle in which it


shows what a character is looking at. This shot
captivates the audience by putting them in the shoes
of the character, by seeing what the character sees the
audience is able to get an insight to their story.

This could be used in my to present the audience with


the same emotions as the character.

Long Shot:

A long shot is a shot taken from a


considerable distance. It used to put
emphasis on the setting/environment and
usually is not focussed on actors.

This could be used in my short film in order


to show the characters locations, and to
ensure that the audience apprehend where
the action is taking place.

Two Shot:

A two shot is a shot in which the frame


encompasses two people. They are often used
for dialogue scenes and to show the
relationships between the two characters.

This will be used in my film in order to


illustrate the relationship between characters
for example, the younger brother and the
drug dealer.

High Angle Shot:

A high angle shot is a shot in which the camera looks


down upon a subject. The purpose of a high angle
shot is to make the subject seem vulnerable or
powerless, this is aided by the location, effects and
audio.

This shot type could be used in my video to show


how the younger brother is defenceless and in need
of help.

Wide Shot:

A wide shot is a shot that displays the subject


within their surrounding setting. A wide shot
expresses to the audience the location of the
scene, who is in the scene and when it takes
place.

This can be used in my video to give the audience


a clear understanding of important features of the
film such as location, characters and time.

Mid Shot:

A mid shot or medium shot is a shot captured


from the waist up from a medium distance. It
can be used for dialogue scenes as well as to
portray body language. The mid shot can also
frame multiple people as well as the setting
around them.

I will be using the mid shot during scenes with


heavy dialogue in order to make it clear to the
audience who is talking, as well as to give
them a clear image of the characters body
language.
