Planning camera angles
Camera angles are important to use in thrillers and all films as it is the most obvious way to show the situation of a scene, the status of a character and portray the mood of the scene.
There are three types of camera angles and camera techniques that I want to use, the first one is a hand held camera technique. The reason why I want to use this technique is that it will provide the stalking scene a point of view shot from the killer which will help to keep the enigma of who the hiller is but still have the killing of a character in it.
The next camera angle I want to include is a high angle shot, this is where the camera is in an elevated position looking down on the scene. The reason why I want to include this angle in my thriller is that it is a good way to show characters as venerable and weak to the audience, showing them as a target like they are in danger and being watched. This will be effective when the characters are walking towards the house and just before the characters are killed.
The final main angle I want to include is a low angle shot, this is where the camera looks up at the scene, I want to include this in the scene where the killer is revealed and where the male characters body is discovered. The reason why I want to include this in my thriller is that it adds importance to the scene showing either the dominance of a character or the importance of the body.
This is a very basic explanation of what you intend to include within your sequence in terms of cinematography.
ReplyDeleteYou need to explain what you hope these will create for the audience and why you think this will create the desired effect as well as looking at two other camera angles etc.
