Detail into Camera Shots

There are a range of different shots we will use to emphasise the different parts for our video, and to show different authority and figures throughout our video. This will help us to present characters in different ways, revealing their power, as well as their weaknesses. We will also use these different shots to create the best possible video, as well as varying how we will film different scenes.

Worm eye shot

This shot will be used throughout our video in such scenes when she is in the classroom, and having interaction with her teacher, as well as using it when she is having an argument with her mother in the kitchen. This shot will be effective as it will show how Alice is intimidated when having interactions with both these characters, as well as showing who is the authority figure in the scene.

Over the shoulder shot

We plan to use an over shoulder shot for again many different scenes throughout the video. This shot is useful and portrays conversations well, as we are able to see the reactions of characters when a particular thing is said. This shot will be used again in the scene with her mother when she is having an argument, as well as in the scene with her teacher. The over the shoulder shot will also be used for the lane scene, when she is slowly walking down the road.

Birds Eye Shot

This shot will be used for the lane scene. We will use this to show alice reading a text from her friend, and we will be able to show the text by reading it over her shoulder. This will give a natural and personal feel to the video, as we are using personal space to film a shot, which will hopefully be successful. This shot will be set up by alice standing still reading the text, whilst one of us will stand of short stool leaning from above her shoulder filming it to allow a downwards shot.

These shots will be extremely useful and successful in many ways, to portray our video and different scenes. As well as these shots we will also use follow shots, from behind her when walking into her house as well as using this shot when following the mother up the stairs. A pan shot will also be used in our video when filming the first and last scene when we show alice passed out on the floor with bottles around her. Additionally we will also be using ellipsis of time, which will be part of editing, to speed up certain scenes that we want a more fast paced feel for.
