Shot list






At the start of our production we have our survivor (Kayleigh) shown at a table with the female investigator. The investigator is asking her some questions about what she remembers and any extra information. Kayleigh says very little "they're all dead" is her only line. For this scene, one of our shot ideas was to have an extreme close up of Kayleighs face, particularly focusing on her eyes. This shot allows the audience to see her emotion and she stares blankly in shock.
After the close up of her eyes are shown we will then show a "flash back" of what she is seeing and remembers whilst the investigator asks her questions.


In this scene an over the shoulder shot will be used to show the investigator talking to the survivor but not able to get a helpful response.








Another shot we will use in our production is a close up of the killers shoes as he walks towards the house. We will use this shot to show the audience that someone is present however identity is unknown. Straight after this we plan to use an establishing shot to show the back of the killer with his hood up approaching the house. This again creates mystery and doesn't show the identity of the killer.

In a couple of our shots we show close ups of what the journalist has put together on a whiteboard, this includes family photos and other clues which may help him to solve the family murders. When showing these, in the center of the whiteboard is a outline of a figure of a person with a "?" in the middle. when we show this, we zoom out slowly to show the unknown figure of the killer and then the journalists work can be seen as we slowly zoom out. 

Another shot we will use is a wide shot. This will be of the house where the family murder takes place. This shot will also be shot behind some trees which gives the effect that the camera is in fact the killers eyes, and that he is planning his murders. (Also known as a point-of-view shot)

  1. Good but can you link this to your research (which trailers gave you the inspiration to include these in yours) .
