Shot List for Thriller Opening (The Next One)

The shot list that I am going to use for my Thriller Opening are:

Tilt Shot - The use of the Tilt shot in the opening of the thriller opening shows confusion and disorientation. The inspiration came from when we viewed The Third Man in class which featured a lot of Tilt Shots mixed with Close up shots which bought a lot of tension between the characters.

Panning Shot - The use of panning shot shows a movement of a character between two locations. It is used in all films. In the opening of my Thriller film. The panning shot would be a symbol of my main character Hollie as she crosses the bridge (the entrance to hell) and there would be no easy way out for her.

Over the Shoulder Shot - The use of over the shoulder shot shows another presence; as if there's someone following the character. Plus the use of Over the Shoulder shot puts the audience on the Character's position.

Close Up Shot - The use of close up shot  would enable the audience to identify with the character's emotion. The Third Man featured a lot of Close up shots throughout its duration.

Extreme Close Up Shot - The use of Extreme Cole Up shot would help the audience to identify the characters action. An example of this is in Psycho after Marion was stabbed it showed an Extreme close up shot of her eye.

  1. Well done for posting your shot list and an evaluation of specific camera angles and movement - to strengthen your marks could you upload screen shots from the films you discuss to illustrate your points. It is important that your blog reflects a range of technical skills.
