Shot List

In class today we decided to plan out the shot list and how we will be filming the trailer and below I have written out the shots and angles that we have decided on (it may be easier to refer back to the story board when talking about each shot):

• Shot 1: Long shot, with the camera on the tripod. We could possibly use a canted angle to give a uneasy feel to the shot. There will be a close up of Laura moving from marker to marker and continue the shot and so it looks like she is darting around in an un-natural way. for example on Paranormal Activity when they speed up the image to look like a long time has passed, we could use this but with Laura in different places.
• Shot 2: This is going to be a mid-shot and hand held from the killers POV (point of view).
• Shot 3: This is the dragging out of the bed scene. again we will use a mid-shot/establishing shot of the scene. With the 5/6 girls around the bonfire, we think a low angle shot will make the audience feel small and venerable and with it being hand held it will seem more realistic like the Blaire Witch Project (BWP), with the non-diegectic whispering chanting of the lords prayer.
• Shot 4: We have decided to make this a high angle shot/crane shot, which could possibly be canted. We will also be doing it in a 2 shot, and then decide which is best.
• Shot 5: this is the shot where Alana will be dragged through the woodland. we will have the camera zoomed up on her face and then zoom back out onto the situation and the scene that she is in, with either myself or Laura running behind her with a torch to see her face and with the camera and so it looked like this was a real situation. With a evil or underlying dramatic music.
• Shot 6: This will be the main leader of the religious group telling them what the girls need to do to get into the group. We have decided to do this in a close up.
• Shot 7: This is going to be a two-shot and also a track or a pan moving with the action. With slow motion which we could try and do on the editing. especially when Laura brings the knife over onto Alana, but cut before we see anything else.
• Shot 8: Intertitle.
• Shot 9: This will be a repeat of shot 3 but the second half of the long scene.
• Shot 10: Intertitle.
• Shot 11: This will be the most disturbing shot in my opinion where we will have canted close-up of Alana's head and shoulder hanging from the tree.
• Shot 12: Intertitle.
