Shot Stills:

These are examples of the shots we used in our production:

1) The Point of View shot from the victim. The hue was changed so the picture was black and white to signify that these shots are a flashback.


2) The opening tracking shot. To start on this type of shot with the subject running grabs the audiences attention right from the start. Again the hue has been altered for the black and white effect.


3) The establishing shot in the corridor was a long shot. The extra walking past the camera gives the atmosphere that this is a working office. The wanted signs add to the feel of a working agency. Mise-en-scene could have been improves as the building itself still looks like a school. Could have been shot in a corridor in the secretary areas maybe?


4) Mid shot tracking focuses the audiences attention on the agents and establishes that these two are the focus of the story (along with the victim). Also allows for detail in facial expressions and gestures. Again, mise-en-scene could have been improved, but due to the location actually being a school corridor, major alterations would not have been viable.


5) The over the shoulder shot used in the shot-reverse-shot that crosses 'the line'. This angle also changes Agent 2s eye line which could be confusing. Mid Shot.


6) A close up shot over the shoulder that does NOT cross 'the line'. The close up allows for focus on reactions and facial expressions (as well as gesture as this example shows). Mise-en-scene could be improved as the wanted posters are non-existent in this shot...


7) Extreme close up of the door handle used in the match on action sequence. Could have been more extreme and avoided the photo frame in the corner- all things to consider in the future.


8) The hand reaching for the handle in the match on action sequence. Extreme close up. Notice how the hand in coming from the right and not the left as pointed out in Q1.
