This shot is used when Lola overhears her mother and father arguing in the kitchen. This shot will be difficult as the focus will transfer from Lola to her parents, and then we must put Lola into focus once again. It will be difficult to ensure we do this correctly as we must ensure that we do this in the sufficient time in order for the shot to be continuous and not take up too much time.
Another shot which may be difficult in our film is where we have a Graphic Match. This is a cut in film editing between either two different objects, spaces, or compositions in which objects in the two shots graphically match. These shots are useful in relating two otherwise disconnected scenes, or in helping to establish a relationship between two scenes. By ending one shot with a frame containing the same compositional elements as the beginning frame of the next shot, a connection is drawn between the two shots with a smooth transition. A famous example of a graphic match is shown on the film Psycho.
We use a graphic match in our film when the flowers from the accident scene are shown and then we are transferred to the flowers in Tom's garden. This will be difficult as we have to match up the flowers in the same position in both frames in order for this shot to be a success. Once this shot is filmed, we have to zoom out so the girls are seen in the frame, which may also add even more difficulty to the shot.
A pan shot is a camera movement technique that involves moving the camera horizontally to the right or left. With this technique you can track an object or follow any type of movement.
We use a pan shot when the girls walk past an accident scene. It tracks the movement of the girls as they walk down the street, then the camera will stop on the flowers which are located there. This shot can often produce a 'jerky' motion, which is why it will be difficult to produce a smooth pan shot. In order to avoid this problem, we will put the camera on a tripod and avoid filming handheld for this shot at all costs.
A canted angle is a camera angle which is deliberately slanted to one side, sometimes used for dramatic effect to help portray unease, disorientation, frantic or desperate action, intoxication, madness, etc.
We use this shot when Hannah is overdosing in order to shock and make the audience feel uneasy. This shot will be difficult at it is very hard to make it look professional, and not like an accidental bad shot while filming. They are also rarely used in film, so it will be hard to imitate good examples of the shot.
We ideally (and very ambitiously) wanted to include a dolly zoom into our film. A dolly zoom is a cinematic technique in which the camera moves closer or further from the subject while simultaneously adjusting the zoom angle to keep the subject the same size in the frame. The effect is that the subject appears stationary while the background size changes. This is used to create an unnatural effect. The effect is quite emotional and is often used to convey sudden realisation, reaction to a dramatic event, etc. A famous example of this shot is used in Jaws.
We use this shot in our film when Lola walks in and comes to the realisation that she is dead as she sees her dead body. This will be difficult as it will be hard to make this look realistic and to ensure that it is continuos, as we must zoom in whilst moving the camera back.
