Test Footage

This Footage shows the two main shot types that we are going to use in our Thriller Film Opening this is the close up shot and the pan shot. We will use the close up shot to show the state, the emotion and the reaction of the main character (in this case) Abi. In our test footage I managed to get close ups of myself and George. The good thing about using close ups with the genre of Psychological thriller is as mentioned above it makes it very easy to capture the emotion of the main character and this makes for good viewing.

The other main camera shot is the pan shot. The pan shot is going to be used to show photographs of the brother and sister that are placed along the mantlepiece. The pan in this instance is going to be the most easy and effective way to show the photographs and the pan is naturally a moving shot which keeps the opening of the thriller flowing. Again in our Test footage I have managed to capture part of our college refectory with a pan shot, this is an example of what we are going to try and recreate in our thriller.
