camera shots

Script Layout
in the first scene of this uses a close up shot this helps people see everything that's happening and what hes doing clearly.
Also there are large range shots  to get everything in the scene clearly.

my breakdown treatment

INT/EXT: Characters room (DAY)/Local Street (EVENING)
Ella is sitting in her room with her friends talking about school and gossip (Extremely wide shot)
Ella is laughing when she see's something move quickly outside(close up).
She asks her friends if they saw what she saw and they look at her weirdly.
(FLASH FORWARD TO OUTSIDE IN THE EVENING) Bella is walking down a long local street and is talking in her thoughts she's  telling people about the things she sees that noone else can(tracking shot).



INT: characters room (DAY)  
ella has just woken from her sleep and is confused as she see's  shadow in the corner of her room. Startled she jumps and covers her mouth(close up shot) but then looks in the same place to see nothing.(camera follows her gaze)



EXT: (winter snowing)Ella is walking down her street its dark and she see's something moving  (tracking camera)she begins to speak her thoughts of whats happening (close up shot to the ground).


INT: shes walking up the stairs (large shot) when her mum calls asking her whats wrong and she quickly reply's saying everything's fine.

EXT: Shes walking through an alleyway thinking when she comes across a weird man (close up)

In the script it has a similar camera shots to the film,it makes sure it captures each scene with the right camera shots.
In the script they have a lot of shots with fx (special effects),it also uses large camera shots to show everything that happens clearly and have close ups to view the characters face or facial expressions.
there are a lot of interesting angels in this film which shows everything clearly.
The script is good because its clear about what it wants each shot to do and how it wants each angel to be this makes it easier for directors.

what ive learnt over the weeks!

Over the weeks Ive learnt about different ways and technique's on how to use a camera in different angels.
and we learnt about all the different kinds of genre's,we also designed a story by writing how each scene would be made and the settings.
Another thing we learnt about was 'mise en scene' is when arrangement of scenery and properties to represent the place where a play or movie is enacted.
