Shots

This is the list of shots we've planned on using when filming our project, we wanted to decide before hand so we knew what we were doing at the time of filming and therefore wouldn't waste time. As we have two settings we decided to film all of the clips for one setting at the same time, this would help us to avoid any errors regarding continuity by weather, lighting and match-on-action.

Outside shots:

 Begin with an establishing shot of the location, including track, hill and fields. This introduces the audience to the scene and shows that it’s in a rural, quiet place unlike a busy city.
Continue into a long shot following Lola walking towards the camera, the camera should be stationary. This long shot gives the audience the chance to study Lola’s appearance by her clothing and her movement. We will use this one shot of Lola walking forward and then edit flashbacks into it as this will keep continuity and match-on-action.
When Lola has fallen on the floor use a close up (/mid-shot as she rocks backwards) on her face to give the audience a clear view of Lola’s facial expressions this should help provoke them to judge or predict what has happened to her and what will happen in the film.

Flash back shots:

A close, long shot of Lola on the floor showing that she’s struggling to get free. The long shot shows gives a whole body shot of Lola so that the audience can establish that she’s got her arms and legs bound. This gets the audience think about how she has got there and why. It needs to be quite close to Lola so that the audience can focus on her and not so much her surroundings.

A mid shot of Lola by the door as she realises that she’s trapped. The audience will get a closer view of Lola’s facial expression and will also get a clearer look at her clothing. The audience are given the chance to study her appearance and her weak condition.

A high angle shot from behind, above Lola whilst she’s curled up on the floor, this makes her look vulnerable plus it will be like the audience are looking over her themselves. They are given a clear shot of hands bound together so can summarise that she’s there against her will.

Another long shot of Lola on the ground similar to the first one but this time she is moving a lot more showing her desperation to escape.

Another high angle shot of Lola but this time from in front of her whilst she’s unconscious. The audience will notice that she’s unconscious and will provoke them to feel pitiful towards her and question why she’s unconscious, who’s put her there, what have they done and why have they done this to her?

A long shot of Lola sitting up to show her slow, drowsy movement. Again this will need to be quite close up to make the audience focus on Lola.

An extreme close up of Lola’s eyes as she wakes up and takes in her surrounding. As she doesn’t know where she is her eyes begin to dart around exaggerating her panic. The audience will pick up on this and will again feel sorry for her. The audience will also notice her black, beaten eyes and messy hair and will make assumptions that she’s been beaten.
