PLANNING: CAMERA WORK

Summary: Bryn is pushed over, whilst skating along a road on his skateboard. He is pushed over because he is bullied and also is listening to indie music.

We plan our camerawork - camera angles, camera movement and shot types -in advance of filming. It is an integral part of our storyboard.
We watch again the rich texture of camerawork in Les Bleus de Ramville on The Art of the Title 
We also watch other student film openings that successfully create the key thriller codes of enigma, suspense and jeopardy such as The Mask.

Low angle shot - focusing on the wheels of the skateboard - to express freedom.
Close up shot of Bryn wearing headphones to express the type of music Bryn is listening too and also shows the contrast of music and the atmosphere, when he witnesses a murder.
Over the shoulder shot - so that we can see the bully and then Bryn skating along.
Worm shot - Bryn looking up at bully to show his helplessness.
High angle shot - Bully looking down on Bryn to show his authority.
