Photo storyboard - Camera shots


Shot 1 - Establishing shot

Generates the scene of the story. From the bird's eye view it can be established that the victim is being approached by two pursuers as he proceeds towards the staircase. 

Shot 2 - Long shot 

Assists the audience to identify with the victim. The character is presented as unaware and vulnerable due to the high camera angle.Consists of one primary subject in the scene.

Shot 3 - Over the shoulder shot

Displays the viewpoint of one of the pursuers. The audience can see the action from the predatory perspective. Consists of two primary subjects in the scene.

Shot 4 - Medium shot

Constitutes that the victim is about to be attacked. Develops tension and the audience may question and attempt to predict the consequence. 

Shot 5 - Medium Long shot

Further development of tension as the pursuers begin to advance on the victim as he is now aware of the two 'followers'. 

Shot 6 - Long shot

Clearly and effectively presents the distance between the two characters and the victim. A dramatic effect is created due to this because the audience may be curious to discover the result subsequent to such action. 

Shot 7 - Over the shoulder shot

Shows the scene which the victim has left behind as he attempts to escape from them. Humour is created because this shot enables the audience to see the character falling (physical comedy) - common aspect of television as the fallen is aided by his companion.

Shot 8 - Medium close up

Focuses on the facial expressions and body language of the two pursuers. The victim is surrounded in a confined area and this creates a sense of claustrophobia for the audience, hence creating empathy for the victim.

Shot 9 - Medium close up

 The audience can sympathise for the victim as he is in a threatened position. The camera shot enables the audience to view facial expressions by both subjects.

Shot 10 - Long shot 

Concludes the storyline, the victim has been dealt with and is left helpless as the pursuers finish their act.

(EBI) I am aware that there is a lack of a close-up shot, which could've been quite useful.
