Types of shots used - Opening shot


When designing the story board for our Opening Sequence, I decided to include a close up, low angled shot of the girls feet because it was interesting and different. Instead of opening with an establishing shot, I thought this would be more effective in the respect of meeting the requirements of the genre of what the film would be, because this shot conveys a sense of mystery as it doesn't show the characters face, only feet. I decided 'Abbie' (primary character) should be bare footed to further show her drunken state which would explain how she thoughtlessly invites what could potentially (and ironically is) a murderer. I also thought this would make her stand out against the two with their shoes still on. Following this the camera zooms out to allow more focus and understanding of the surroundings for the audience.
