Shot List

Shot list

1	Shot type: Medium Shot Diegetic sound: Slight sound of possible music through earphones. Synchronous sounds such as birds and cars on road? Non-diegetic sound: None. Lighting: Lowkey lighting and natural lighting. Outdoor scene How would this be effective?: Medium shots are effective because they allow the audience to get a clear view of not only the character but their surroundings and background. This would link to be and be effective in horrors in the sense that it could be used in shot where the antagonist is following the victim/protagonist, whilst they are unaware. This would be effective in developing fear for the audience as it would create a sense of dramatic irony (the audience's knows something going on that the actual character does not), this being effective in creating an emotional reaction as they would have a rushed desire to help them, but would evidently be unable to - this increasing their anxiety and suspense.	Example of shot:
2	Shot type: Over the shoulder shot Diegetic sound: None. Non-diegetic sound: Deep dark background music with deep base Lighting: Lowkey lighting and natural lighting. Outdoor scene Mise-en-scene: Outdoor scenery, so simple roads and pavement. A sneak peak of the antagonist costume. How would this be effective?: Over the shoulder shots would also be effective for the same reason as above, as the audience would have increased anxiety due to the fact we know that the antagonist is near the victim but we cannot do anything to help them. It also is effective as it gives off the impression that the protagonist is being watched.
3	Shot type: Close up shot Camera movement: Tracking (following the woman walking looking down at her phone) Diegetic sound: Synchronous sounds of music coming from her earphones. Non-diegetic sound: None. Lighting: Lowkey lighting and natural lighting. Outdoor scene Mise-en-scene: As it will be a close up of her on her phone it will just show her outfit and phone in the scene. How it is effective?: A close up shot is used in order to show and represent the emotion of the character. This would work well within reaction shots. This is good because we get see the character on a personal level by seeing the emotive response to something, this obviously due to the fact a close up shots gets into the personal space and very up close the character.
4	Shot type: Point of view shot Diegetic sound: None Non-diegetic sound: Deep dark background music with deep base Lighting: Lowkey lighting and natural lighting. Outdoor scene Mise-en-scene: Outdoor scenery, so simple roads and pavement. The antagonist will be revealed in this scene. How it is effective?: Point of view shots are extremely effective because point of view shots put the audience in the perspective of the character, this providing a verisimilitude experience, so whatever the character feels and experiences it is passed down unto the audience. This is very beneficial for horrors because at the end of the day, it is all about getting an emotional response from the audience and increase the fear factor.
6	Shot type: Extreme close up shot No sound at all will be in this complete. These will be reaction shots and be in complete silence. Lighting: Lowkey lighting and natural lighting. Outdoor scene How is it effective?: It is effective for the same reason as close up shots, this is because we get to get up close and personal with the character and get an emotional response from them, this working well for reaction shots and allowing us to feel how they feel.
7	Shot type: Two shot Non-diegetic sound: Deep dark background music with deep base. Jump scare scene most likely. Lighting: Lowkey lighting, slightly blue tint? Mise-en-scene: In the bedroom, the woman is under the impression her husband is sleeping next to her when its really the antagonist. How is it effective?: A two shot would be effective because you can clearly identify both the antagonist and the protagonist in both one shot, making each character type easily recognizable.
8	Shot type: Long shot Non-diegetic sound: Deep dark background music with deep base. Lighting: Indoor scene will be here so most likely will just use the natural indoor lighting provided. However only kitchen and hallway lighting will be switched on. Mise-en-scene: Within the kitchen. The antagonist will walk in the hallway unaware to the woman. How is it effective?: This shot is effective in establishing a setting. In my house I have a hallway which is where I will do a similar shot to the one on the right screenshot. I feel this would be effective in the sense that I could do a scene quickly showing the antagonist walk across the room and then disappear.
9	Shot type: High angle shot How is it effective?: This would be effective because it would show the character in a way that makes it look like someone is looking down at them. This is effective because it makes the person look smaller than they actually are, thus, representing them as weak and vulnerable.
