1 1 second SHOT SIZE Longestablishing shot ANGLE
1 (1 second) SHOT SIZE: Long/establishing shot ANGLE: Straight angle TRANSITION: Cut SOUND: Ambient sound, to establish an urban setting This shot establishes the setting for the scene and orientates the viewers; a dark, eerie alley, suggesting criminal activity. I deliberately composed the shot in this way – the walls slanting into the centre – to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye >> 0 >> 1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 CUT: >>
2 (10 seconds) SHOT SIZE: Long shot MOVEMENT: Larry walks into shot frame left and rests against a wall MISE-EN-SCENE: The wall looks urban and grimy SOUND: Ambient sound (cars driving past, dogs barking, people talking) I saturated the colours to intensify the scene >> 0 >> 1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >>
2 (10 seconds) SHOT SIZE: Long shot ANGLE: High angle TRANSITION: Cut The high angle suggests that Larry is vulnerable, however, his body language suggests the opposite. By using a long take, I am able to give a false sense of relaxation. Larry in in the centre of the frame, focusing audience attention on him *The image should match exactly the last image, however the camera has moved slightly >> 0 >> 1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 CUT: >>
3 (3 seconds) SHOT SIZE: Extreme long shot ANGLE: Low angle, giving the audience a sense of Harry’s size MISE-EN-SCENE: By darkening and blurring the picture, I made Harry scary and intimidating to the audience SOUND: Dialogue: Harry shouts to Larry. Contrapuntal sting – to create mystery and tension Harry emerges from the shadows, shocking the audience. Again, the sloping frame composition makes Harry look imposing. The closed gates signify that there is no escape for Larry >> 0 >> 1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 CUT: >>
4 (2 seconds) SHOT SIZE: Close-up ANGLE: Canted angle, high angle TRANSITION: Cut This is a reaction shot, showing Larry’s shock at seeing Harry. The canted angle suggests that Larry feels worried or disorientated *Larry looks frame left (after hearing Harry talking) >> 0 >> 1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 CUT: >>
