Camera shots & editing reasons

We have managed to succeed in using all the camera shots we aimed to use in the beginning. 

Establishing shot: we filmed this shot however we decided not to use it as it wasn't necessary. The setting was established automatically through the props which were used. for example. the nurses uniform, the medical leaflets, staff pass, reception, discharge papers, sign in/out book, and the bandage scene which is the start of our opening

Over shoulder shot: this allows the audience to see that the nurse is signing out from work straight after the 12:00 close up shot of the clock. this creates suspense as she is a vulnerable young woman going home alone -this brings a sense of paranoia as to what will come after her. Both stalker and nurse were in churchyard at night and there was an over shoulder shot from the stalkers point of view of our nurse

Mid shot: this allows the audience to see the actors body language and how they are being portrayed in the opening 

Close ups: the time on the clock, the stalkers photographs of the nurse, close up of the two colleague conversing.  

Extreme close ups: lighting is usually dark is mostly dark in all of our extreme close ups because they are mostly the stalkers scenes which is hiding his identity. There is also an extreme close up of his smirk in the end which indicates to the audience that he is getting some sort of thrill.

High angle shot: high angle shot of photographs on our stalkers desk. For example 1-when our stalker tears the photograph of our victim and her boyfriend. 2-when stalker caresses nurses face on her photograph.

Two shot: To establish that the two colleagues are working at the hospital.

Shot reverse shot: conversation between two colleagues.

Parallel editing: the two sequences that take place; 1-stalkers. 2-nurse's.

Eyeline match: we were going to use an eyeline match when our nurse is in churchyard and looks back to see if theres anything or anyone their. however, we decided not to use this shot because we went back to film it but the lighting was not the same.

Credits: to show who was involved in the production of the opening

Continuity editing: continuity through each narrative individually

Jump cut: skips the excessive filming of our nurse walking

Action match: when our nurse is walking out of work

As our film was set at 'midnight' we needed to film when it got dark. We chose to set it at this time as it creates a mysterious sense of mise-en-scene.
