Research and Planning: Test Shots

This test shot is a medium close up of a high angle, this shot will be used to express a sense of power from one character over another, therefore placing the other character in a very vulnerable position and almost seem feeble and weak.

This is a long shot from a low angle. This shot will be used when we want to represent a vulnerable character and when representing a character who is in power of somebody else by looking down on them. The long shot will be helpful to fully emphasise the mise en scene, and whether there are any correlations between this and the power position of the character.

This shot is a close up, however when using a close up we plan to have the actress is full front of the camera making us able to see her fully. This will be used when we want to represent that the girl is now possessed, the idea of the close up will hopefully frighten the audience and make them realise the extent of the full possession.

This shot is a medium close up at eye level, this will be used again to show that the character is possessed or being attacked by the deranged girl in the house. By having the medium close up this means we are also able to see the mise en scene a bit more, so we can take advantage of this and maybe put the actress in a bloody robe to show that someone has just been killed.

This shot is a long shot at eye level, this will be used to give more of an audience effect to creep them out more. This again gives a full expression of the mise en scene and making either the victims or the possessed girl to be fully conveyed through their surroundings.

This is a long shot at a canted angle, this will be used when an attack is about to occur, as it makes the screen appear much more unusual and will be a good representation of what is occurring on the screen at this time. Once again the mise en scene will play a part as there is a lot of space in the framing to take advantage off.

This is a birds eye shot of the character, this would be good to get a full view of what is happening within a scene, and we will also be able to see things we wouldn't necessarily see on other shots. We plan to use this shot as the possession is taking place, therefore we have to be careful with what is on the screen, so that the full effect is achieved successfully.
