In
order to create the right ambiance for this shot, we decided to use light from
a phone. This was to include a white light which appears to create themes of
exposure and panic as the normal yellow toned light conveys a feeling of
calmness and normality, The camera in this shot was positioned at the top of
the stairs whereas the actors where at the bottom running towards the camera
and in this case safety. As they both frantically run to safety, one actor is pulled
down the stairs and away from the camera by the supernatural force which
illustrates the idea of further transgression from the equilibrium,
Here
we have a camera placed on one of my team members. It is placed in such as way
to effectively create panning shots smoothly ans steadily as we did not have
access to a track to create a dolly shot. Moreover, the dolly was placed at a
lower angle than eye-height to convey the idea that it was through the eyes of
the villain who would be lurking around the house. This is similar to the shot
taken below.
In order to create a similar idea of dominance with the villain, the
majority of the shots after the distribution of equilibrium were at a lower
angle as the villain now has full power over the protagonists.
These shots above
were shot by hand without the use of any equipment to create the effect of
intimate scenes were the audience may feel closely attached and included with
the goings on in the situation. The natural jolts and movements created by the
hand of the camera places emphasis of the feelings and general build up of
tension and suspense.
