Our task was to film 10 different horror shots in our performance, we used a variation of horror shots in our horror performance. The shots we had to use in the performance were:
- Over the shoulder: An over the shoulder shot is when you are looking over one characters shoulder who can be speaking to another character or can just be looking at an object.
- Tilt: A tilt shot is when the camera is positioned on a tilt, you can use this in a horror when looking at the victim on the screen or the killer this could be intense for the audience watching.
-360: A 360 shot in horror positioned is where the camera does a full 360 turn around an object or character this is good as we can see all the items in the place at a time which could be crucial in the story.
-Close up of weapon: A close up on a weapon is intense in a horror as the viewer can see that the object is going to play a key object in the film is the producer has sectioned it by itself and made it look vital.
-Long shot: A long shot is used in a horror to show the whole screen and could be used in a running scene as well as looking from the victim's point of view.
- Point of view shot: A point of view shot is just looking at the character's view of the scene, this will be effective in a horror because the audience can sympathise towards the character as they can see what they are going through as they are kind of put in their position. This shot also makes the audience feel involved in the film as they can see from the character's perspective.
- Close up of person: A close up of a person is used in horror shots to show the fear on a person's face as well as looking into the eyes of the characters and seeing the killer.
- Mid shot: A mid shot in a horror film is where the camera is positioned in a place where you can clearly see the character but it may not be looking at the whole surrounding of the scene, this will be effective as you can use it in a running scene with the mid shot being the point of view of the killer.
- Low angle point of view shot: A low angle in a horror shot will be effective as you will be looking up at the killer showing he is the most important and has the most power in that particular scene.
- Black frame: a black frame is just when the screen goes pitch black, this could be effective as it could show one of the killers victims, as well as this it's useful after scenes which could include chasing.
