Examples of shots I could use - Research

In my film I am going to use some of these shots I have seen in other media products as some of them are used well to make the most of the shot and can be used to create an effective mood on screen. By having effective shots it can also attract the audience into the scene and engage them more as it can also show the proximity and the setting within the scene which allows the audience to get a better understanding to what is happening in the scene. 

An example of a close up/out of focus shot, this close up of the gun with the tank in the background creates suspense and ambiguity as it shows the threat of the tank, and also shows the proximity of the protagonist to the tank, but you cannot see who the character is. 

An example of a close-up shot that shows the character loading his gun in Kelly's heroes. This shot is effective as it does not show the whole character but gives a sense of ambiguity and danger as you see him load the gun but cannot see why he is loading it, but the fact that he s loading makes the audience suspect that something is going to happen.

An example of a low close up of the boots of the soldiers as they are walking, i am planning on using this shot in my product. This shot creates ambiguity as you can only see the shoes of the soldiers and cannot see where they are walking to or walking away from.

An example of a long shot that shows more than one person is this shot in Band of Brothers. 

This shot is very effective as you can see the two opposing forces in one shot and can see the conflict and difference between them. It also shows the proximity between them and how far apart they are.

Low-angle mid-shot. This shot gives a sense of danger and authority as it is using a low angle shot which makes it seem as if the character is looking down on the audience or that the audience is looking up to the character, which makes him seem more authoritative or dangerous.

This close up shot allows the audience to see the facial expression of the character, which makes the audience connect with the character. It also makes the audience focus on the specific character, which makes him/her the most important thing in the shot.

This over shoulder shot allows the audience to see the gun and what the character is shooting at, this creates a sense of proximity and also gives a more realistic view of what is happening in the scene as the audience can see exactly what the character is seeing within the scene.
