Over the last few week, my group and I were given the assignment to produce a piece of film in which we had to explore the different types of camera shots we could use in our thriller piece. We chose to explore the pan shot, this particular shot was successful as when we used the shot we captured the sense of movement across the screen alike the movement of the protagonist. Along with the pan shot we experimented with, we looked at the mid-shot, long shot and close up, these all effective in their own way. the long shot allows to add a sense of distance and allows to capture the immediate environment. the mid shot allows for the protagonist to be filmed as though he/she were with the viewer in person, or in terms of objects, one may capture the object fully without being to distant or close. A close up can be selected to capture a particular emotion or atmosphere presented in the protagonist or co-character, this will be effect in a thriller as multiple emotions can be conveyed in characters. the handheld shot, over shoulder shot are both similar in the effect they give. they both give the effect that you are present with the characters and sense, the handheld shot however gives the sense that you personally are shooting - the over shoulder shot, commonly used in conversations or to build up tension, makes the view gain a sense that one is viewing upon a first person experience.
