Transcript of Shot types prisoners
SHOT 1
This first shot is an establishing shot of a forest, at this given point the
audience has had no indication into what is happening. The trees create
the illusion that something bad is going to happen during the scene,
this is also reinforced by the snow on the ground, which again gives it a
slightly ominous look. However in contrast, the lighting used is quite high key and so it
makes it seem a lot safer in that sense because it allows the audience
to see exactly what is happening. Which at the moment isn’t very
much, which could cause tension amongst the audience.
SHOT 2
This second shot, the audience has just seen a deer walk into the centre
of the frame. This could give the audience a sense of security again
because deer are quite skittish animals and so at the slightest
movement they tend to flee. As of yet the deer tends to be quite
content and eating and so it seems as though nothing is wrong.
This type of establishing shot could be used in my opening because it
allows the audience to get a sense of what is happening or at least gives
them a sense of security, in this sense anyway.
SHOT 3
This shot we still have an establishing wide shot, but its
zoomed out more and we get more context into what is happening. The two characters in the shot are out
hunting and it gives us more security to some extent, but not in the case of
the deer, due to the fact that it is probably about to be shot.
However, we haven’t seen either of the characters faces and so we still don’t really know anything about
what they are like. By this point it’s difficult to even identify their gender.
SHOT 4
This next medium shot lets us know more about the characters even
more. We can now identify the two men, on clearly older than the other.
We can tell that the character with the orange hood is clearly still in both
shock and amazement at what he just achieved (shooting the deer)
suggesting that he is not very advance in the second skill. The
second character is studying the first and it’s difficult to tell what his facial
expression reads. This leaves the audience questioning this character and what his intentions are and his
relationship with the second character. This type of medium shot
could be used in my film opening because it can create some tension and questioning within the audience and therefore urge them to continue
watching.
SHOT 5
This fifth over the shoulder shot explains the older character and the
younger characters relationship a little bit more. Clearly, the older one is of more experience, and the hand on his shoulder is as if he is giving his approval or congratulating him.
This type of shot could be useful because it allows us to see
characters and give us context as to where they are.
