Camera Work

 

I am going to be using a range of different shot types including;

 

Long shots, to show the setting, I am also going to hold these for a short while, to create a sense of loneliness and emptiness for the viewers.

 

Medium Close ups, to show facial expressions.

 

Close ups, to show certain details, for example the photograph of the family. This helps me set up my enigmas.

 

Medium shots, to show the characters in detail whilst also displaying part of the background.

 

Over the shoulder shots, to show the viewers only what the character sees, whilst also displaying the characters movement and body language. This will help me implement the fear and tension into the film.

 

 

Enigmas/Mysteries

 

My film will revolve around a certain event that will be held back from the viewer. But certain clues will be implemented. A photograph of a family with two brothers, when only one brother is present. An empty room, a seemingly vengeful spirit and what appears to be, a guilt ridden brother.

 

Lighting, sound and Mise en Scene

 

I will make use of low-key lighting when possible, and leave a lot of silence in the film. With these techniques I am aiming to create and awkward, dark and miserable feeling to the film, with the silences giving the audience time to think about the events of the film. The main character will show signs of discomfort with life in general, and will not smile, laugh or be shown to have fun. The large house will be messy and unfinished inside, reflecting dark, messy theme of the film.
