Planning cinematography

Camera shots are important to include within a thriller film because they give off effects that may make the audience feel emotion, it can also build tension and suspense or give the feeling that something is about to happen.

One of the camera shots being used in the film is High angle- this is when the camera is positioned above the object and this makes the image look smaller. We are going to use this camera shot when Tayler is looking at his past victims and when he is setting his sights on his new targets katie and brittany. This is conventional to a thriller film because it leaves the audience in anticipation for what is about to happen to the girls. By doing this shot makes the girls look weak and innocent and that something bad is going to happen to them.

Another shot which will be used is Zooming in - this is when the camera moves in and out of an object to create importance and to draw the audience into a closer relationship with the subject. We are using this shot when the movie comes to an end when tayler appears outside and he is behind the girls and they have no idea he is there. Zooming in is conventional to a thriller film because it catches the audiences attention and leaves them on the egde of their seat because they want to know what is going to happen next. It also shows the body language and facial expressions of the characters therefore, the audience can get an idea of how they are feeling.

Hand held shot is used to produce a jerky, bouncy, unsteady image which can create a sense of immediacy or chaos. We are going to use this when the girls first suspect that things start to go wrong  by doing the wigi board by the lights flickering on and off and noises being made, we are going to use the hand held shot at this point. It is conventional to a thriller film because when it starts to go wrong for the girls we want the audience to get into the film and leave them in suspense because they will be wondering why the camera is bouncing and jercking from side to side.

A long shot is a shot that shows all of a fairly large subject such as a person and usually much of the surroundings. We are going to use this shot when Tayler is following katie into Brittanys house this is how Tayler knows where the girls are going to be. By using this shot we can see katie walking to the house and Tayler closely following behind her. This is conventional to a thriller film because the audience will be shocked when they see Tayler following katie and it will leave them in suspense and on the edge of there seats for what is about to happen next.

Overall my target audience will build a relationship with the characters because they will be able to see what the film is about and what the characters would go through if it was an actual film and they will be able to see how the characters are represented and how they act.
