Shot List

During our groups filming, we explored a variety of different camera shots to give different angles and effects for our continuity task.Each shot gave a different effect on the audience changing the view and perspective of the audience in the diabetic world.

Medium shot-
We used a medium shot in the opening of our continuity task and establishes our main character "Arthur". Showing the top half of the character gives a tense view as he approaches closer to the camera.

Tracking shot-
The tracking shot was used on the occasions where our main character is shifting from one place to another with speed., The tracking shot follows the main character as he runs so the audience feel as if they are following his journey from one place to another. This shot gives a personal; connection between the audience and the main character.

Low angle shot-
The low angle shot is used to give a very unique view as Arthur steps over the camera. This connotes the superiority of Arthurs persona in the task as he is above the audience in the shot.

High angle shot-
The high angle shot was used to give a swift and dynamic view as Arthur enters the "Don's" lair. The audience being above the main character further bonds the two as they are following him into whoever he's going.

Over the shoulder shot-
 We used the over the shoulder shots for our dialogue in our task. The over the shoulder shot while Arthur was speaking, gave him a large focus and proportion of the shot. This gave him a sense of superiority as the angle of the shot was tilted slightly.

Close up-
We used the close up to build up the tension and superiority of Arthur and really give power to his dialogue and make him look big to the audience. The close up shot resulted ink his face taking up a large proportion of the frame, this allows him to have a larger power behind his dialogue as he appears to be bigger to the audience. We also used the close up so that when the "Don" pushed the glass into the frame it focused into a close up. This gives a slight background of the mafia culture and how people are greeted and treated.
