Shot List

Shot list

Below is a list of shots I am planning to use and include in my film trailer. The more planning and preparation that goes in to my film the more successful and well received it will be.

Shot list for “Indigenous”:

High angled shot – Shot looking down towards the victims of the film

Low angle shot – Shot looking up toward villain to connote the power he holds over the situation.

Over the shoulder shot – Shot including dialogue flowing between characters.

Extreme close shot – Shot to show the emotions of different characters.

Close shot – Shot again used to show characters when in dialogue scenes

Establishing shot – Shot to set the scene for the film trailer.

Panning shot – Shot used to explore the scenery. Further panning includes sight of something sinister (e.g. Gun, axe, villain).

Cut in – Shot to show something one of my characters are seeing (e.g. getting a text and revealing what it says).

Long shot –Shot to include more of the characters (including characters at beginning of trailer to show them happy and excited about going away).

Medium close shot – Shot showing the character from the waste up. Used to show character of Jason clutching pole as a weapon.

Medium long shot – Shot showing a conversation between two characters towards the start of the trailer.

Worms eye view – Again used to look up at the villain connoting power and making the villain appear more menacing.

Tracking shot – Shot following the characters movement where I plan to cut to an extreme close shot to show the emotions of the character.
