Pre-Production Shot List

This is a list of shots we plan to use in our opening title sequence.

Pre-production by Emily Blyth & Ella McLeod.

Close up shot: Close ups convey the detail and emotion to the viewer.

Extreme close up: Any shot that zooms in very close to a particular part of a subject is known as an extreme close up. They vary considerably but usually focus on a particular part of a person

Mid length shot: A medium shot is where the shot is taken

from the knees upwards. There is background in this shot but its

usually just based on focusing on the person in the shot.

Establishing shot: Help to establish the scene by showing the

 audience the location they are in.

Over the shoulder shot: This shot is framed from behind a person who is

looking at the subject. The person facing the subject is should usually occupy

about 1/3 of the frame. This shot helps establish the position of each person, and

get the feel of looking at one person from the others point of view.

Point of view shot:the camera is positioned as though it is a human

actually observing a scene, so the e.g. actors' heads are on a level with the focus.

Hand held shot: Where the camera man holds the camera for

 maximum flexibility of the type of shots he wants to use.

Panning:Is a camera move both left and right.

Tracking:in order to create smooth shots that move in or out from

 a subject or to a subject

High angle:A high angle shot is where the camera is set up high

making the subject seem small
