Camera Techniques Used In Our Opening

We used a variety of different camera techniques and shots, these were:

Close Up - We used a total of seven close up shots in our opening.

1 and 2. Rosies feet when walking across the tracks from two separate angles.
3 and 4. Rosie playing with the snow in her hands from two separate angles.
5. Rosies face when confronted by Nigel by the deserted train tracks.
6. Nigel unlocking the padlock.
7. Nigel shutting the door

Mid Shot - We used a total of eight separate Mid shots in our opening.

1. Rosies balancing on edge of the tracks, this could also possibly be considered an establishing shot.
2. Rosie playing in snow by edge of the tracks.
3. Rosie sitting on the railing by the edge of the track.
4. Rosie playing with snow whilst sitting on the railings by the edge of the track.
5. Nigel creeping up behind Rosie.
6. Nigel taking Rosie "home".
7. Nigel unlocking the door.
8. Nigel walking away from the door.

Point of View - We used two point of view shots in our opening.

1 and 2. We used two separate point of view shots of Nigel watching Rosie to give the impression that Rosie may be in danger and is being watched by mysterious character.

Over The Shoulder - We used just one over the shoulder shot in our opening.

1. Again we used this to create tension and to give the audience a greater impression that Rosie is being watched.

Pan - We also only used one pan shot in our opening.

1. We used this at the end of our opening to create a greater and more dramatic effect when revealing Rosies "Help Me" message.

Overall we produced over twenty shots within our opening and we believe we have the right shots in place for what we need to make this into an effective and successful opening.
