This is Establishing Shot where the film will be set - House. It is also used to involve the audience, as they will start interpreting what will happen during the film. The framing of this shot is that the house is in the centre, with two gates either side of the shot. Daniel Radcliffe who is the main well known character is also in shot, this is establishing the main character to the audience. Despite this, the shot isn't showing much of him and because of this the audience might not see this.
Tracking Shot
Here is an example of a tracking shot, this is a shot that follows the character or their actions, movements etc. This is usually done with a camera fixed onto a track of some sort. Eg - See image to right.
Tracking Shots paces range as they can be fast to capture all the action, or they can be slow to add effect. In this example, the tracking shot is used to add effect because Daniel Radcliffe is walking slowly through a mysterious forest and so if the tracking shot is slow, the audience will be intrigued to watch further. |
Over the shoulder Shot |
This is an example of an over the shoulder shot (or OTSS) used in the film 'The Woman In Black' film. An OTSS is mainly used during a conversation with two people, as shown with this example. This is because the camera shot is then shown cutting to two views of the conversation and the two characters of the conversation too. The OTSS is good for displaying to the audience who is talking and their facial expressions as well. |
