Different Types Of Camera Shots


These are all the different types of shots and movements that we will be using throughout the filming process of our sequence. They each greatly affect the narrative power of the shot; therefore we have to be careful when picking and choosing what type of shot we would use for each
section of our sequence.
Each of these shots will be used in an individual way to make our sequence the best it can be.

  • By using a panning shot we can show the hallways in an eerie way by running it through the hallways and along spooky passages to create a sense of a hollow empty large setting.
  • By using an extreme close up we can show fear in the girls eyes when she is running from the man, or show little details like the hands of the clock to show the overpowering factor that time is a great issue for the girl in the last moments of the section.
  • By zooming into the wardrobe it creates an effect of the wardrobe growing. The wardrobe would start off as just an object in an empty room, however by zooming in towards the wardrobe it will show that, that wardrobe is a significant figure of the sequence and will make the audience want to know what is inside the wardrobe. 
  • By using an extra long shot in clips such as the exterior of the old house to show where the film is set it can create the effect of loneliness. It will show the house isolated from civilisation showing to the audience that there is nowhere for the girl to hide. Therefore by using this extra long shot it creates an effect of isolation for the location of the film. 
  • We also would use shots such as tilting to make the exterior of the house look eerie. By tilting the shot it would make the house appear more angular therefore creating a spookier effect.
