Planning: Cinematography

Planning Cinematography

 The cinematography I plan to use in my thriller opening consists of the following:

1. A POV will be used when the older girl has run home scared and runs upsatirs I her house to wash her face. I have chosen to use a POV shot here as the water affect it could have by editing it in will add suspence as she slowly brings her face up to look in the mirror and see the little ghost girl in the mirror. This will be affective as the vision of the older girl so it will add suspence as the older girls vision is blurred and you can see the blurred figure of the little girl. This is conventional to the thriller genre because it is used to create suspence and keep the audience on edge and make you feel you be able to feel like you are in their shoes and make the audience feel the way that they are feeling in the scene.
2. A reaction shot  is going to be used when the older girl sees that the little girl watching her in the mirror. I have chosen to use a reaction as it shows the yhe emotions of the older girl in alot of detail so you can clearly see how she is feeling. This is conventional to the thriller genre because this is used to clearly put across in alot of detail how scared the girl is and get the audience to react the same way that she is.
3. A zoom will be used at the end of the opening credits to zoom into the little girls face. I have choosen to use a zoom here because it puts across that something is coming towards her and also clearly shows her recation to what is going to happen i  alot of detail. This is conventional to thriller as it is used to make the  audience clearly see how scared the little girl is and make them feel the same way the she is.
4. A pan will be used when the girl is walking past the swing park. I have choosen to use a pan hee because it shows the full body of the feamle victim clearly for the first time and also shows where she is. This is conventional to the thriller genre because it is used in many other thrillers to show the audience the charcater and the area around them and this gives the audience of the idea the character is in for example if the character is walking through a dark allyway the audience will then know that the character is in danger.
5. Tracking is also going to be used when the older girl is walking. I have choosen to use this as when tracking the camera is closer to the girl so you will be able to see the way she is reacting to the situation clearly through her emotions and her body language.
