Horror Film Taken Shot List

Within the first shot of our horror movie taken, there are no particular shots that we have used, when the sequence begins, the first part the audience see is our production company name and logo (Unique Productions). The production company is on the screen from 00.00 until 0.07.

The first shot that we decided to use within our horror film was a close up shot. The close up shot is used as soon as the sequence begins, when one of the main characters within our film is pouring alcohol into the glass and then drinking it. Within this shot, the writers of the film come up on screen (written by Philip Gatward), moments after the first writers name is on screen the second writers name appears (written by David Maddy). To other roles within the film also come up on screen within this shot, director and filmed by Seb Hall and also the editor of the film (Dalian White). The only part of the body you can see of the character is from the chest down. Main concentration of this shot is the alcohol situation.  This shot lasts from 00.07 until 00.28.

The second shot is a panning shot of the graveyard, one of the main locations of our film is within this location. Towards the end of the panning on the graveyard, the shots end up on the character that was within the first shot. The character at this point is looking at a specific grave stone. On screen at the same time, starring Dalian White appears on screen. This panning does not last very long, the shot goes from 00.28 until 00.33.

The next shot that we used within our film was a long shot. The shot is used when the main character is walking down the alley by himself and is then approached by another character that appears to be trouble. The second character has hold of a weapon. This long shot lasts from 00.33 until 00.41.

The next type of shot that we used was a point of view (POV) shot of one of the main character, facing towards the second character swinging the back and hitting him, which then fades to the opening sequence. This shot is not used for too long, it last from 00.41 until 00.47.

The next we used was also a point of view (POV) shot of the main character within the film; the shot shows him waking up after being attacked within the title sequence. The shot shows the character within a blurred vision, at the same time starring over to someone sitting up against the table. This shot is used from 00.47 until 01.03.

For the next shot, we decided to use a midshot on both of the characters. The first character who was introduced in the title sequence is being held hostage, there is another character introduced in the opening sequence who is the doctor. The doctor at this point is approaching the victim. The shot is used from 01.03 until 01.08.

The next shot is a close up of the main character sitting in a chair tied up; the doctor in this shot pulls the tape away from the victim to then spat on by the main character. The doctor then slaps the main character. The shot lasts from 01.08 until 01.15.

The next shot we used was a panning shot of the medical equipment on the table. The panning is not used for very long; it lasts from 01.15 until 01.24.

The next shot we used is of a close up of the doctor opening up the draw pulling a gun out of it, the close up of the gun is the main focus of this shot. The shot is used from 01.24 until 01.27.

The next shot is a midshot of the doctor approaching the main character with the gun in hand. This shot is used from 01.27 until 01.32.

The next shot is a close up of the main character sitting in the chair; within this shot the doctor is threatening him with the gun (aiming it to his head). The gun is removed from the victims head shortly after. This shot is used from 01.32 until 01.42.

The next shot that we decided to use was a long shot of the doctor across the table putting gloves on. This shot only lasts from 01.42 until 01.47.

Towards the end of the opening sequence, we have used an extreme close up (ECU) of the doctor holding a piece of medical equipment (needle) in his hand. The shot is used from 01.47 until 01.49.

The last shot that we used to end our opening sequence was a midshot of the doctor of the doctor looking away from the camera, however facing towards the victim. This shot is used from 01.49 until 01.51.
