Lists of shots

The shots we are tending to use in our trailer are very recognisable such as 'close ups', 'med angles', 'high angles', 'wide shots', 'establishing shot'.

CLOSE UP

• The close up shot will be used on the phone when Casey is messaging her friend, instead of her face the phone will convey what Casey is feeling after the dream.  
• Another close of Casey's face when she sees her grandma photo in the box she is unpacking, by having this shot it will portray  a suspense story as the audience will wonder who she is and why Casey's expression were  not pleasing. Also, later in the narrative the audience feel to blame the grandma of her misery  in the new house. 
  

MED ANGLES 

• A med shot is used when Casey suddenly wakes up by her dreams, this allows the audience to see some of the surroundings.
• Another med also over the shoulder shot when Casey communicates with her boyfriend and explains to him of her nightmares. This allows the audience to see a snappy reaction of both their faces when they talk.

      

ESTABLISHING SHOT

• This shot is used at the beginning with the binary opposition showing the front doors which are black and white.  having this shot is suggests to the audience it is a happy beginning as the shot as been taken in daylight it represent a sense of stability.

WIDE SHOT

• This shot is used in one of Casey's dream where she is running away from the 'villain' who she she believes is trying to kill her. it will enhance Barthes' enigma code, which will highlight the aspect of 'who is it'. Chasing scenes are very symbolic in horror films because it always makes audience question the plot. films such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' which is long and gritty. Also in 'Prom Night' where Helen is chased throughout the school setting.
