There are a range of 'tricky shots,
edits and effects' used in our production. This is not only used to create
suspense, but we have also done this to
add to the fear the audience feel for the characters, Abby Johnson and Becky
Anderson, who are constantly struggling for survival in the film. This will
hopefully portray to the audience the emotions of the characters, the dangerous
nature of the ‘masked man’ and as result achieve the aim of production being a physiological,
horror/thriller type of film.
Tricky shots –
- The first tricky shot, in theory seemed easier to do than it actually was. This shot consisted of matching a low angle view on the stairs, to a close up of the ‘masked man’ entering the cellar. Along with low ceilings and limited space for movement and camera angles, this shot proved quite challenging.
- A Medium shot of the lower half, of the ‘masked man’s’ body walking down the cellar stairs proved to be difficult shot to film, due to a restricted side view and little room for the camera and tripod.
- Certain area’s at the location proved to be difficult to film in due to restricted lighting as the only source of light was a single hung bulb and the flash of the camera. Therefore for many of the shots we had to strategically position the camera to get the best shot available. This often meant using area’s and angles we wouldn’t have initially considered and adapting to the environment we were filming in.

Edits -
- Match on action of a close up on the blooded knife, to the ‘masked man’s’ hand grabbling the knife, to the final shot being a long shot of the ‘masked man’s’ striking figure clenching the knife up in an intimidating manner.
- Cuts were frequently used in our production to join piece of edit/shots together and to make the film flow continuously.
- Spatial edit has been used to match the eye line of the ‘masked man’ in the direction of the two girl characters, Abby Johnson and Becky Anderson curled up on the cellar floor in fear. In addition to matching the ‘masked man’s’ eye line, the blooded knife is also held up in the direction of the girls. This portrays a sense of foreboding as the audience can tell what is going to happen to the girls before the ‘masked man’ actually carries out the act.

Effects -
- Fade in/ fade out; this has been used on some of the shots, so that they fade into the different pieces of edit continuously rather than jump/skip to next shot.
