Alternative Camera Shots

Establishing shot of the train tracks/forest (audience get a feel/connection to the location and also understanding more of the storyline.)

Camera then moves onto the character Rosie behind (not yet showing her appearance) and can be seen standing on an abandoned train track.

Medium shot of Rosie playing with the leaves around the tracks

POV or binocular view overlooking Rosie from above (gives the impression some ones watching Rosie presently as well as representing dominance over the character perhaps.)

Returns back to Rosie still medium shot and slowly zooms out from her then appearing a black hooded figure from over the right shoulder (hiding the figures face to bring tension to the audience into thinking who they are.)

The figure then gets closer to Rosie while she's speaking to him (camera follows him) and then a close up shot of him taking Rosie by the wrist (showing power/dominance again.)

(Next scene) Low shot looking high showing the black hooded figure taking Rosie from behind right into the abandoned warehouse/cellar.

In the cellar/warehouse over the shoulder shot in front of the figure still hidden while Rosie in the background is speaking to him and responds to her and then walks in front of the camera which fades into the next section.

Medium shot behind the black hooded figure shutting the door, close up on him locking the door (tells the audience that she's being kept there against her own will which brings fear for whats to happen to her later.)

New scene where the camera returns to the train tracks and zooms into a message that Rosie has left behind hoping someone will find and help her.

We have considered different camera shot techniques to see which seems the most suitable for our opening film as well as preparing us before filming it so we know and understand what camera shots we are going to use for it.
