Shot List and Shooting Script

We plan on using 6 different camera shots in our film opening. They are:

• Tracking Shot
• Match-on-Action
• Close up
• Shot/Reverse Shot
• Low Angle
• Panning

We also plan to use the 180 degree rule in our video in order to ensure a continuous effect that is not disorientating for the audience to watch.

Tracking Shots will be used when our main character is walking down the lane. This is a very effective type of shot often used in Horror films as it can be used to show the audience when a character is being followed. The suspense builds as the audience is left wondering whether a character is safe or about to be brutally murdered. Match-on-Action will also be used in this part of our film opening to ensure continuity when the tracking shots are shown from different angles.

Close up shots will also be used in our film opening. These are important within the Horror genre as they can be used to show the emotion in a character's facial expression and to capture their reactions to events. It can also be used to focus on certain details in a scene that the audience might miss otherwise.

We will be using Shot/Reverse Shot when one character is looking at another. For this, we will have to ensure that the 180 degree rule is in place so that all of our shots match up.

A Low Angle shot will be used in our opening scene when the killer is stabbing the victim. This type of shot is effective for showing the dominance one character has over another, and can also make the audience feel intimidated by a character, which is what we are aiming for with the killer in our film opening.

Our final scene will include a panning shot from the main character's dead body to the killer walking away. The screen will then go black.
