EVALUATION - Shot Analysis

Whilst filming we experimented with a variety of angles for each shot so as to give us as much scope as possible for changes once we got to editing. This allows us to compare the different effects and decide which works best when in place in the final piece.
Majority of high angle shots ~ to show Jen's venerability
~ Jen's change of mind as she is in the hall and cant decide which room to go into also shows her fear which is causing confusion, the high angle shot of her shows how this confusion is putting her at even more of a disadvantage
Low angle shots ~ to show the potential of Raf's power over her and to portray him as a superior character
~ e.g. low angle shot of Raf as he picks up her letter - shows how he is meant to be coming across as gentle and kind and is therefore not in so much control as he will be.
~ we were going to put in a low angle shot of Jen as she took food from the cupboards to pack her bag to show that she was taking back control by making the decision to run away - however we decided not to include this shot as we wanted her to appear venerable all the way through.
Point of view shot ~ to allow audience to feel Jen's terror
~ after watching the opening of the horror film "Scream" we decided to use their technique of having the victim in the corner/side of the shot to disorientate the audience and make them feel as though what she feels is about to inhabit the rest of the shot.
Shot reverse shot ~ of when there's a knock on the front door and the phone is ringing - this is to show her reaction and emphasise her fear
