shot list

In this shot that I drew it shows a long shot of the main character walking away from the two men in the suits. This shows that it is set in a forest and that the lighting is low key. At this point in the film the character is walking through the woods and comes across two men having a secret convocation which he just walks past as if not hearing it when he has. We wanted this shot to have the effect of isolation in the character so that the audience feel sympathy for this main character. Also we can tell that the shot is going to be set in the evening as the sky shows that it is dark and set just before night time.

In this shot that I drew it shows a close up of the main characters face but one side of it. As a group we have decided to this shot like this because in the film Aidan has just come back from school and he has gone to his room and gotten straight out of his school uniform and is putting his Goth clothes on and then his makeup. We wanted this shot to suggest to the audience that this boy wasn’t comfortable with what he was wearing and feels “normal” in Goth clothes but also he wants to be different by the makeup. Also it makes the audience ask why is he changing from what they would call normal to a Goth.

 

In this shot we can see that the main character Aidan has come out of his classroom and there is a bully who is waking in the opposite direction to him so that the bully has to walk past him. At this point the bully barges into Aidan, this suggests to the audience that Aidan is weak and cannot protect himself which makes the audience empathise with the character Aidan.

 

In this shot we can see that the main character is spinning a coin on his windowsill. In the sequence we have chosen to have Aidan spinning a coin and thinking about what the two men has said and when the coin has finished spinning and stops that is when he realises what they have been talking about. Also this makes the audience realise that the penny has dropped and that Aidan has figured out the problem that was being discussed by the two men.

 This long shot is of Aidan in his room. In this shot we can that he is lying in his room and thinking deeply about what the two men were saying. This can suggest to the audience that he might be worried about what e has heard and wondering if he is going to do anything about it.

 In this shot we have a of the two men having the conversation. As we can see it is only a shot of their legs which can suggest to the audience that we have done this so that we can hide the identity of the two people so that the audience want to know who they are later on in the film.
