Camera Shots- Preparation of Planning

We want the audience to feel intrigued, sympathetic towards the girl as well as scared of the abductor.

We want the audience to know that a girl has been kidnapped by her ex boyfriend.

We want the audience to have the following big question of whats going to happen to the girl as well as why it happened.

We like that the shot is high angled allowing the character to look up at the camera showing the emotion of vulnerability. in the frame there are bars in the background, this emphasises the theme of our thriller making the character look scared and captured. the character is positioned on the floor with crossed arms, this showing how scared she is; this also emphasised by looking up at the camera.
We can use this shot in our opening sequence by showing the girl in captivity by the ex boyfriend, making the audience feel empathy for the girl. this helping the audience know that she doesn't want to be there; leaving them wondering whats going to happen to her and why she is there. 

We like that this shot shows the character looking out onto a run down building, which links to our narrative as this is where he could be holding the girl. This is a mixture of shots in one as it is a mid shot of the character but a long shot of the building. the main focus of the shot is the building in the background due to it being the largest thing in the picture as well as being in the middle of the framing.
We can use this shot in our opening sequence as the beginning shot of the sequence, this showing the ex boyfriend looking out onto the place where he is keeping the girl captive, this making them feel on edge as well as wondering what is in the building. The making them question his presence there. 


We like this shot because it shows the girl in the corner on the floor crouched down against some bars, this showing her vulnerability as well as the mans power over her but standing up in front of her. This is almost a shallow focus shot as the main focus of the shot should the girl on the floor but it is actually the mans legs which are closer to the camera, this again showing his power.
We can use this shot in our opening sequence when he enters the room where she is being kept, this being the first sighting of the girl. This answering the audiences question of what is in the building. This again making the audience feel uncomfortable and sympathetic towards the girl. This again leaving them questioning why she is there.
