Detailed shot list

Shot 1- close up- in this shot i wanted to create a feeling of tension. This was clear when you can see the light at the side of the room. This would set up for another shot later on. The reason that the room was dark was because i wanted to keep the focus on the door and on Kieran's face.

Shot 2-close up- in this shot you see the titles. I wanted to chop them up into different section as this would make it visually interesting and wouldn't make it look too gathered together. This is also to chop up the shots and create an atmosphere and help it to build.

Shot 3-close up- this shot is the same shot as shot 1. i wanted to keep the same shot as it would make it more dramatic when you see the girl in the background.

Shot 3-close up- this again is another shot of the titles. I wanted to make the titles differ from burning to just being charred.

Shot 4-close up- this is the same shot other than the girl in the back ground. I wanted to make it a more tense atmosphere and having the girl there will help create that as well as creating mystery. This will help later on in the film when trying to create the overwhelming feeling of being watched. This is a common factor that I will be using throughout the film as she is the main focus.

Shot 5- over the shoulder- in this shot you can see Kieran's reflection in the mirror. As he bends down to spit out the mouthwash you can see that there is nothing behind him.

Shot 6- over the shoulder- in this shot you see Kieran get back up from the sink and walk away. Behind him where there was no one before is the figure of the girl

Shot 7- close up/long shot- in this shot Kieran's character is walking down the stairs. It goes from a close up to a long shot as he gets further down the stairs. i wanted to do this to make it look like he was being watched as he went along

Shot 8- long shot- this shot is again of Kieran coming down the stairs but of him at the bottom of the stairs and going into the kitchen. In the right hand corner on the stairs you see the girl sitting there. This is to show that someone is watching him and because it is in a secluded place people will get a creepy atmosphere and they will only see her at certain places in the shot.

Shot 9- pan/point of view shot- this shot is of when Kieran is walking into the kitchen. It is from the girls point of view. This shot was to make the audience feel uncomfortable and to feel like they are being watched.

Shot 10- mid shot-  this mid shot is a shot i put in to show what it was that Kieran was doing. I thought that this shot would be better to use rather than a long shot or a close up as it shows that I have used a wide range of shots

Shot 11- close up- of the chopping board. this was to show what it was that Kieran was using and what it was he was getting out. The reason that it is white is because I wanted it to look pure.

Shot 12- mid shot- again this was a mid shot to show Kieran going around the kitchen. The object that he gets out is a knife. the reason that i wanted it to be a knife was so that it had the element of threat and danger.

Shot 13- high angle- i wanted this shot to be at a high angle because it shows dominance. I wanted to make the girl look like the dominant figure over Kieran so this is why i choose to do a high angle.

Shot 14- mid shot- this mid shot is mainly a reaction shot to the cupboards being open. i wanted it to be a mid shot because it would get the change of set and Kieran's reactions to the event. The cupboards opening makes the audience assume that the girl has been there and done this whilst Kieran was getting something out of the fridge. This makes the audience feel uncomfortable and uneasy.  

Shot 15- close up- this shot is purely a reaction shot to the knock at the door. The shot before this was creating the tension and the knock on the door releases the tension but also builds it back up again as you don't know who is at the door at that time. This follows the theme of tension and aggression as the knock is quite hard.

Shot 16- mid/long shot- in this shot as Kieran is walking to answer the door is a mid shot travelling into a long shot in one shot. I thought that this was an effective way of showing both the door and Kieran walking up to it.

Shot 17- point of view- in this shot you are Kieran walking down the corridor to go and answer the door. You can slightly see a figure at the door however it is not clear. This creates tension and makes the audience assume that someone is there.

Shot 18- close up- this shot is a close up of the keys that are in the door. I wanted to get a close up of these to make a break between him walking up to the door and him opening it.

Shot 19- point of view- this shot is from the girls point of view however Kieran can not see her. This is of Kieran looking confused as he thought that he saw someone there but they are not there anymore. This makes the audience feel nervous as they don't know what is going on.

Shot 20- point of view- this is from Kierans point of view as he looks around to see if anyone is there. This was used to have a change of scenery and also to make the audience feel uneasy as they don't know if anything is behind them.

Shot 21- pan shot/point of view- this shot is of Kieran turning around to go back into the house when he sees a girl standing in the doorway. This is to create dramatic tension between the audience and the characters on screen.

Shot 22- close up- this is a close up of the girls face. Her expression is angry. i wanted her to be this way as [art of the story line and to make her seem like she has something bothering her. i wanted to end on this shot as it is a dramatic moment in the film and i needed to have a jump scare to make it more thrilling.
