1. How camera shots are used in opening sequences to create meaning

2. This is an example close up of the character, this image shows that she has blood on her nose and forehead which suggests she could be a victim, also the way she is looking suggests she has her eyes on something else. 3. This is a close up, this shot normally shows the persons face. This one is of The Joker, close ups go into detail about the persons facial expression and it emphasises what the characters emotions are. 4. This is a medium shot of the character, this shows clearly both the background and I also shows that she is on the phone, also her facial expression shows that she is fairly deep in thought, also it shows that she is in a relatively good mood. 5. The long shot in this part of the scene shows a little bit of the inside environment but also it includes the character, this shows that the woman is trying to get to the ringing phone. 6. The extreme long shot in his shot clearly emphasises the environment inside the house, it clearly shows that it is quite a large and empty house, which is a convention of a horror film. 7. The term tracking shot may also refer to any shot in which the camera follows a subject within the frame, such as a moving actor or a moving vehicle. It is generally a side on shot of the moving actor or moving vehicle. 8. Pan shot is used by turning horizontally on a vertical axis, but the effect may be enhanced by adding other techniques, such as rails to move the whole camera platform. This is used to suggest tat the object being filmed is going at a fast pace 9. A tilt shot is a type of camera shot where the camera is tilted off to one side so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame. Tilt shot is often used to portray psychological uneasiness or tension in the subject being filmed. 10. A zoom is technically not a camera move as it does not require the camera itself to move at all. Zooming means altering the focal length of the lens to give the illusion of moving closer to or further away from the action. Zooming is effectively magnifying a part of the image, while moving the camera creates a difference in perspective- background objects appear to change in relation to foreground objects. 11. Cut is when the frame changes from one shot to another. Pace is how fast this cut happens. Cut and pace are main key elements in a horror film opening 12. The performance is all about the vocal deliver and the emotions actors/acresses show, to try and make their performances realistic as possible. 13. This wen the actors cannot hear the sound but the audience can. For example in a psychological horror the eerie music is played to emphasis the scene is nondiegetic, because it has been added in after, so the actors d not hear this only the audience does. 14. This is when the source of the sound is visible to the actors, for example, the voices of characters (dialogue), sound made by objects in the story. For example if a car is passing by in the background we and the actors/actresses can hear it, or if musical instruments are being played. 15. The different shots that I have researched gives me a much better idea on what I need to do to make my film more interesting and nerve-racking. For example, close ups are popular because it expresses the emotion on the characters faces very well.The research into Diegetic and Non-Diegetic sounds as well has shown me that it can create a really tense and nervy atmosphere which will be suitable for my horror film opening. It would also keep the audience very interested. I will be using a lot of these micro elements in my film opening to make it the most realistic and scary film opening as possible.
