Some Notes on Final Shots

These are some notes on the types of shots used throughout the film. It should also be noted that the camera is restricted to a 180’ arc to maintain spatial continuity.
	High angle shots work to make the subject look smaller or weaker within the scene. In this shot, lights were also adjusted to produce a long shadow spilling into the scene. Materials were also substituted as the baked light map could not receive shadows.
	Frame within a frame. This style of framing can tighten the shot using scene elements, focussing attention and creating a more claustrophobic feel.
	Framing with perspective. Perspective lines lead to the focal point of the shot which, in this case is also picked out in high contrast.
	Framing with light. In this shot, a spotlight with a soft penumbra frames the subject and closes the surrounding space.
	A short focal length exaggerates depth and distorts in the periphery to create a disconcerting effect.
Reverse angle shots were used as a device for introducing a character and revealing their point of view or as a means of portraying action and reaction.
