Try Out Shots

Our first try out shot was Jake starting to walk down the corridor, past the graffiti, though this is a well placed shot, having Jake walk past the lettering, however, we felt we wanted a more dramatic shot, so we chose to film him walking past the graffiti, as he did before, however, in the corner of the shot, have glass, from the broken window, this indicates the danger within the house.

Our second try out shot was of Kieran rocking back and forth whilst the camera panned up towards his face, this was an effective shot, however, we wanted to go off our storyline and not reveal the burns on the characters face until right at the end, so this shot would not have worked at holding the tension as it would have gave away the facial injuries. 

The third try out shot consisted of Jake walking into the room and turning off the record player and then Kieran standing up, this shot didn't work as Jake was too central in the shot, stopping you from seeing Kieran stand up behind him, we then filmed this a few times to get it perfect.

The last try out shot was a point of view shot of Jake turning off the record player, this is an effective shot because the audience is then allowed to become part of the thriller, however, as you can here from the audio of this shot, we realised straight away that Kieran had to be much close to Jake to create a startling effect when played back as he will then be right up at the camera.
