Draft Shot list

Shot No.
Shot type
Description and analysis
1
Establishing shot (ELS)-
Father figure from the back sitting on a bench looking out over the lake with the sky at the top of the shot.

We are using this shot to show the viewer the surrounding and to set the scene of where the character is sitting in contrast to the open surroundings present. The characters facial features will be hidden from view and out of focus to create some enigma and uncertainty for the viewer.

2
Extreme long shot-
This shot is still of the man but more of the sky in sight. This shot will be filmed for approximately 2 hours sitting stationary around the time in which the sky changes from vibrant blue into orangey sunset. People will be walking past the man which will be sped up to show that time is passing him by quickly.

We are using this shot to portray to the viewer that the characters lifetime is nearly up and everything seems to being going quickly for him. It also symbolises him missing the girl in the scene later on in the opening sequence by showing him not doing anything to help as he can't (he feels helpless)


3
Close up-

We are using a close up of the man to show who he is to the viewer the close up will show his face in focus and detail. You can also see the characters emotions. We have included this scene to show the lost and unknowing upset feeling he has.

4
Extreme Close Up
This shot is put in place to show the characters deep emotion in his eyes and a tear rolling out of his eye and dripping down his face. This shot will show the severe feelings and emotion he is feeling without letting him seem weak. Enigma is created in this shot to make you want to understand the reasons for him crying.

5
Close up
This Close up shot is a picture of the characters daughter. A drop of water (a tear) then drops onto the picture creating continuity and helping the shots to flow better. This shot then gives reason the characters strong emotion. the viewer will then have some theory of the reason he is crying over his daughter.

Extreme close up
Back to shot (4 )
7
Long shot
Girl figure shrouded by darkness. Shot will be zooming in onto her face which will become more clear as half her face will by lit up with the low key lighting coming from either left or right (Not decided).

We have used low key lighting to make the viewer feel uncomfortable and tense this is one of the main codes of horror. Not being able to see the girls facial features fully will create strong enigma (key convention) this will keep the viewer on edge and interested. The female character will be matched by the viewer to the previous scene of the pictures of the mans daughter.
