Shots used -

Throughout the process of creating, editing and filming our Thriller opening we have discussed the different ways in which we can represent different ideas about differnt characters for the audience. To show the 'stalker' has a powerful position in the action we used low angle shots, or shots in which he was in the foreground. The low angle shots allow the stalker to appear bigger and more powerful and there fore more dangerous. Editing has alos allowed us to represent different ideas about certain characters. The shots in which the stalker is involved have been edited to appear darker and more sinister. We feel that the transitions we have chosen to use are also representative, shots that are going to include Hayley, the victim, have the dip to white transitions and cross fades. These dip to white transition make her seem like the innocent victim as white has connatations of innocence and purity. Whereas the scenes involving the stalker have used dip to black transitions in order to represent connotations of danger, darness and mystery.
The shots of Hayley are mainly from a higher angle which shows that she has less power int he action and is likely to be in some kind of danger. These shots have been edited to appear lighter and more innocent to convey her character type. We felt as a group that we should have at least one medium, to close up shot of Hayley as it would allow the audience to connect with her and empathise with her situation.
