Today i changed the pictures on the website to more appropriate pictures for a website about horror. We also had a theory lesson were we learnt about camera shots and angles. Changing camera shots and angles can keep the audience engaged and can help to build suspense an example of this is in horror is an extreme shot of a eye can be used to express the terror of the character and the reflection in the eye can give an idea of what the character is scared of without completely giving it away this creates suspense. an example of where a effective camera shot was used is in 'The Goonies' when the main characters are scared there is a close up of the characters faces close together showing their scared expressions, the shot was effective because it helped express how close the characters have become after going through there adventure together. |
