Malevolent Phantom
Shot Lists

In the opening scene for 'Malevolent Phantom' we used many shots to show the setting and emphasise the characters feelings. The variety of shots allowed us to capture the moments in the scene from different angle which let us portray different aspects of our scene.

High shot - We plan to use this shot a lot to show the loneliness of our character and have the audience emphasis and feel sympathy for 'Lucy' our main character who is alone in the woods. This shot will show the remote setting we plan to use which is the woods.

Medium shot - This shot we will use to track 'Lucy' on her journey and also as the 3 characters say their goodbyes, this shot will show how the group are close together and are safe however as 'Lucy' ventures off on her, the shot will change into high shots to show she is alone in unknown territory.

Over the shoulder shot - This shot will be used for the conversation with the three girls at the beginning to create a realistic effect and get the audience to feel like they are present in the world of the film. Also it will be used when the 'Malevolent Phantom' is preying on 'Lucy' to show that she is being followed and is in danger

Low angle shot - This shot will be used to show the strength and power of the malevolent phantom, we will use this when the creature is watching 'Lucy' walk past, this will show it to be over powering and seem stronger than Lucy.

Long shot - This shot will be used to show more of the setting and show Lucy walking through the woods, which will show her slowly getting closer and closer to danger which lurks in the trees.

Establishing shot - This shot would be used to show the setting of the woods, however we may not be able to do this as this could involve a high angle.
