Planning: Camera Angles

Before filming our opening scene, I have research into different opening scenes which use certain Camera angles which we hope to include in our opening. As we are including a tracking shot in our opening this opening of Silent Of The Lambs is a perfect example of what we want our shot to look like.

  (Only up to 2:57 mins)

There is a range of different shots used such as-

-Tracking

-Medium Close-Up

-Long Shot etc.

All theses shots are perfect for our opening scene as they make it more interesting for the audience as it shows different perspectives which builds up tension and is perfect for the genre of Horror. The shots also show the location and the surrounding area which tells the audience that the character is vulnerable and alone showing danger. The tracking shots allow the audience to follow the character getting them more involved in the narrative and connecting with the character and her actions this create tension as the audience doesn't know whats going to happen next.
