Shotlist

As a group we thouroughly planned the shots we are going to use in our production and assigned them to a specific scene. After studying media at A Level we are aware that all shots are used for a reason, whether they are used for special effect, to represent something or to give something meaning.

Extreme Wide Shot
Extreme wide shots are often used as an establishing shot. The view is extremely far from the actual object that it is not really visible. We plan to use extreme wide shots to show views of the city Jacob is in and surrounding by. The reason why we have chose to use an extreme wide shot to present the buildings is to represent the large buildings over towering Jacob and making him seem ever so minute.

Very Wide Shot
In this shot the object is now rather visible as opposed to an extreme wide shot, yet the emphasis is still on the surronding atmosphere and enviroment. This shot will be used while Jacob is sat at the bus stop, you will be able to view Jacob but the surrounding not well kept enviroment will be apparant in order to associate Jacob with working class and enduring a struggle.

Wide Shot/Long Shot/Full Shot
The subject is now extremely visible and takes up the whole frame. We will use this shot quite a lot, especially while Jacob is performing. The reason for using this is to focus on Jacob as the star image.

Mid Shot
This shot shows some part of the object in more detail while still presenting everything around them. We hope to use this shot a lot during our production as we can use this shot to present a certain aspect of juxtapoisition, surrounding Jacobs current life and his new life. Also, we will use this to present Jacob in things he aspires and dreams of, for example: we hope to use an over the shoulder shot of Jacob; within the same shot will show a rolex sign. Thus, juxtaposing rich and working class.

Medium Close Up
Half way between a Mid S and a Close Up.


Close Up
A certain part of the object takes up the whole frame. For example, we will use this to show Jacobs shoes or watch.


Extreme Close Up
The Extreme Close Up shows extreme expression.

Cut-In
Shows some other part of the object in detail after a close up.

Cutaway
A shot of something other than the object, from being based upon the object.


Two-Shot
A shot of two people, framed similarly to a mid shot.


Over-the-Shoulder Shot
Looking from behind a person at what you wish to look at.


Point-of-View Shot
Shows a view from the subject's perspective.


Weather Shot
The subject is the weather. Can be used for other purposes, e.g. background for graphics.
