One of the most important shots in our thriller will be the "trunk shot" which was popularized by Tarantino and used in several of his films. We have decided to use this shot in our thriller as it is being shot from the perspective of the person who ends up in the boot and can be used to create a connection to him.
Another shot we will use is is inspired by the eye shot which dissolves into the blood going down the drain in Psycho (1960). In our film this will be used to show the eye of our character which subsequently dissolves into a tracking shot of a car wheel. The effect in which this is used will create a connection between reality and the "dream world" of our diegesis and show that the dream is occurring in real time.
After some discussion, our group decided that a shot similar to that in the film Insidious (2010) would allow us to show the potential killer sneaking up behind our victim. This is a classic example of foreshadowing as it gives the audience information that the character isn't aware of and helps generate a feeling of hopelessness - nothing can be done to help them.
The above shot will be incorporated with a circular tracking shot that does a 360
° movement around our main character which subsequently reveals the presence or our potential killer. This can be used similarly to an establishing shot but with more subjectivity as it gives us a view of the subjects surroundings.
Callum, Dylan, Matthew and you have all posted this identical case study. This is not generally acceptable unless you explain your input into this and who in your group typed up the case study.
ReplyDeleteYour references to specific aspects of camera shots and angles that inspire you are a good idea but you all needed to construct your individual case study.
