Shots and Angles

 Hello blog! Today my group and I decided to focus more on the technical aspect of creating our film intro. We wrote down all the shots and angles we want to incorporate.

First, we want to do an establishing shot of the sun rising. It sets the time zone of early an early morning and the place as outdoors. Then we want to add multiple close-ups of Maya getting ready, tying her shoes, brushing her hair, and taking her keys. This helps to introduce the film and make it more interesting. Then we want to add extreme close-ups. 

Then to introduce Lucy we will have a long shot where Maya is picking her friend up.  And to introduce their conversation and dynamic as a friendship there will be a midshot of them talking in the car. To help the audience start feeling more connected to the characters we also want to add a point of view shot of Lucy and Maya in the car.

To establish the place they will be running, we will have an establishing shot of the Markham park where the girls will exercise. Then there will be a midshot of the girls walking and starting running. Then there will be some close-ups or midshots of their shoes when running. And a long shot that shows Lucy running while Maya ties her shoe which is a critical moment for the film. Then there would be a close up of Maya reacting suspicious in order to show how worried she is because of the scream she heard.
