Film Production - Shot List

Shots:
High Angle:  The high angle in our film shows the audience what kind of pressure Caleb is under. The  high angle is suppose to represent intimidation.
Low Angle: A low angle shows a clear shot of how high up Caleb is on top of the ramp. This shot helps the audience see why Caleb has the attitude he does when he is at the park.
Wide Shot: A wide shot is a shot that focuses on the subject, in our cases Caleb and Dawson, with them being visible form head to toe taking up the majority of the shot. With Caleb and Dawson we are trying to show the audience these are the main characters of the film as they are the ones with the most action.
Long Shot: A long shot allows the audience to see great coverage of where the scene is taking place; a character may look like an indistinct shape in the background. This shot is from a considerable distance.
Close Up: The close up displays personal emotional response to a scenario as well as allowing for viewers to connect with the character by relating to their situation. When Caleb is scared, the emotion on his face will display that strongly with sole focus on him, highlighting that it is a defining part of the opening.
Candid: The candid shot shows the audience emotion while the character is not focusing on the camera and rather giving a raw reaction.
Two Shot: The two shot gives the audience a sign of relation between two characters.
Mid Shot: The mid shot allows for the viewers to see from the waist up to show some body movement but in a limited, focused nature. With Caleb and Dawson, it will be used to highlight facial expression as well as their hands on the bars of the scooter, defining control.
Master Shot:  The master shot will show both sets of pairs (Abby & Dawson, Caleb & Isla) to show a dramatic transition from earlier years to later years. It is important for the audience as they will be able to see that the kids' values remained the same throughout their transition from childhood to adulthood.
Establishing Shot: This shot will show various areas of the park in order to give the viewer a perspective of where the action is taking place. It creates meaning by showing how big the park is in comparison to the young boy challenging himself in it.
Aerial Shot: The aerial shot gives a scout eye view of the scenery and doesn't distract the character is the environment. With a drone shots can be taken from various feet in the air that can help the audience view the setting in an expansive perspective.
Point of view shot : The point of view shot gives viewers a way to connect with the characters. It allows a personal interaction between what is on the screen and what the character is feeling.
Over-the-shoulder shot : An over the shoulder shot shows depth of perception as it shows both the character and the background of the situation they are in. It gives viewers another way to connect with the character while also being able to see them.
