Camera shots

These are the different shots needed for our title sequence:

Shot 1 – We wanted a medium shot of a box being lifted by the antagonist but just the hands because we wanted to create many enigmas.

Shot 2 – Next we wanted a medium shot of box being put down on a table, again not showing the antagonist.

Shot 3 – Medium shot of box being cut open slowly, for this we needed the antagonist to be aggressive but slow as we don’t want to change the mood. We planned for the antagonist to aggressively open the box by stabbing it but then to slowly drag the knife across.

Shot 4 – Same as before a medium shot of box being cut open slowly but this time with white powder on it. We wanted to see if having the powder would make a good effect or not.

Shot 5 – There shall be a close up of knife being slammed onto the table to show that the antagonist isn’t messing around.

Shot 6 – The next shot shall be a long shot of antagonist taking newspaper out of the box. We shall being having the newspaper torn up so that it looks like there is loads of paper. We also had to make sure that the antagonist didn’t just take the paper out normally because it would of changed the mood, so when filming we had to decide how it was going to be done.

Shot 7 – After this we wanted a medium shot of antagonist taking items out of the box, to show the audience what was in there.

Shot 8 – We decided to have a close up shot of the antagonist holding a specific object with liquid in it, by having this shot will allow the audience to get a clearer picture of one of the objects.

Shot 9 – 12 –We wanted the antagonist putting objects onto table so we decided to have a medium shot of this. We would have a cut between each item being put on the table in case it didn’t look good to put it all in one shot.

Shot 13 – Next we wanted a medium shot of food colouring being mixed with water by the antagonist. Hopefully this would create enigmas as the audience would wonder why the antagonist is making a mixture.

Shot 14 – We then wanted a close up of antagonist taking lid of container by twisting it. This would allow the audience to get a better see at one of the items.

Shot 15 – Straight after we wanted a close up of antagonist taking the blue powder out of the container this would make the audience question on what the powder is for.

Shot 16 – We wanted to show the blue powder being added to the blue liquid by the antagonist, so we decided to have a medium shot for this.

Shot 17 – We then decided to have an extreme close up of liquid being sucked up into a syringe by the antagonist. This was to make that the audience was able to see clearer as any other shot and it would have been harder to see.

Shot 18 – Next we wanted another extreme close up but this time of liquid being squirted out of syringe.

Shot 19 – Afterwards we decided to have an over the shoulder shot of the antagonist looking at the protagonist chained up. In this shot we wanted the antagonist holding the syringe in their right hand while the protagonist is looking scared.

Shot 20 – We then wanted a closer shot of protagonist chained up so we thought a medium shot was a good option.

Shot 21 – After this we decided that we would have a close up of protagonist’s face. By having this shot the audience could see how the protagonist is feeling.

Shot 22 – We thought an extreme close up of protagonist’s hand shaking was a good idea next. This is because we wanted to show how much distress the protagonist is in.

Shot 23 – Same as before an extreme close up of protagonist’s hand shaking but this time with flashing light. We wanted to see if it gave a better effect or not.

Shot 24 – Same again but this time we wanted an extreme close up of protagonist’s hand trying to break free.

Shot 25 – Close up of protagonist’s feet in distress and light flashing.

Shot 26 – Next we wanted an extreme close up of protagonist’s eyes looking around. This would create enigmas as the audience would be wandering; why is he looking around? Is he looking for an escape?

Shot 27 – Afterwards we decided to have a close up of antagonist’s feet taking a step, from the side. This is to show that the antagonist is getting closer.

Shot 28 – We then thought of having a medium shot to a long shot of antagonist’s back walking away from camera. Again to show that the antagonist is getting closer and also it would look better than following the antagonist because the camera may get moved around so that it may be hard to see. So we thought having it still would be much better.

Shot 29 – Medium shot of antagonist’s arm quickly coming into shot.

Shot 30 – Next we decided to have a close up of protagonist’s face whilst antagonist holds knife to neck. By having this it kind of changes the mood to an action as there is a weapon used to show that there may be some sort of violence.

Shot 31 – We then thought of having a two shot showing the antagonist shaking around the protagonist. To show that the protagonist is getting restless and the antagonist is trying to calm him down.

Shot 32 – Close up of antagonist putting syringe in protagonist’s mouth. In this shot we wanted the protagonist to try and struggle to get the syringe out of his mouth.

Shot 33 – We then wanted another close up but this time of the syringe squirting out liquid by the antagonist, we wanted to seem that the liquid was going in to the protagonist’s mouth.

Shot 34 – We wanted a shot of the protagonist passing out slowly, so my group and I decided to have a close up of this because having it this way meant that the audience could see it better.

Shot 35 – 36 – We decided to have a medium shot and an extreme close up of protagonist looking dazed and confused. After looking dazed and confused we decided to have the protagonist faint as well, this was to show that the potion that was given to him has taken affect.

Shot 37 – In this next shot we wanted the audience to have a shock. A close up of antagonist’s face quickly turning around. What the main shock about this shot is that it’s a woman’s face, as most people would think that it’s a man. This is why we didn’t show much of the antagonist (We got this inspiration from Se7en's title sequence).

Shot 38 – 41 – Close ups of writing in magazines and books, these shots are going to show what the antagonist maybe planning.

Shot 42 – Close up of book opening from above.

Shot 43 – 45 – Extreme close ups of writing in book and finger going through certain words, same again, to show what the antagonist maybe planning.

Shot 46 – 50 – Close up of Google searching ‘psychological manipulation tactics’. For this we wanted to show the audience hints of what may be happening.

Shot 51 – 54 – Again the same as before but this time close up of Google images searching ‘live brains’.

Shot 55 – For the last shot we wanted a close up of turning on a radio. We wanted this because after the protagonist was given the mixture we wanted him to be triggered by something and one of our ideas was music so this is why we used a radio.

From this I realised that we have used most of the shots. This means the audience won’t get bored watching the same shots used as they is a selection.
