Camera Framings

These images and information above I have taken from the internet, I feel it is effective as it clearly shows an example of all different types of camera framing that can be used throughout photography and filming. Below are my examples and images to help me see what effect the would give in relation to mood and emotion to suit my horror genre.



The first camera framing here is an extreme close up. I feel this could be effective when showing emotion in my trailer as it clearly shows the actors eyes. It could show the character shocked and crying to cause tension and atmosphere within the trailer.
I feel closeups would also be used for a similar reason. It helps to show emotion like the extreme close up, however it allows the viewer to see the whole face. This could show expression and reaction better than the extreme close up.
Medium close ups would be used during the equilibrium of the trailer as this is a very conventional shot for a neutral mood, as it gives off no certain messages or feelings.It just allows us to see the actor/actress and some of the background behind him/her.
I feel mid shots could be effective in a horror genre as it allows us to see the main actor/actress in the scene however it also allows us to see quite a lot behind. This would allow me to make the antagonist appear in the background with out the talent being able to see him/her, because this would create suspense for the viewers and draw them in.
Low angle shots could be used in my horror trailer to make the the antagonist big and powerful, on the other hand a high angle shot could also be used to show the antagonist looking down on the protagonist and also to make the protagonist look small and vulnerable.
Wide shots and group shots would help me show movement in my film/trailer to create verisimilitude and realism, and to also make the happenings of the film realistic and believable.
I could use long shots at a high angle to show the antagonist watching the protagonists as this would create a spooky atmosphere for the film, it would also make the audience interested into who and what is watching them and why.
Throughout my filming I am going to experiment with lots of different camera angles to see which work best to give the best effect.
