In this practice video, we attempted to recreate several iconic horror shots - some we used effectively, and others we could have improved on, and did improve on in our final piece.
Over the Shoulder Shot:
This shot one of the first we used. It used in film and TV in order to show the scene from the perspective of the character.
In this scene, we used this shot to show the perspective of the killer. We felt that we used this effectively as it puts the audience directly behind the character, and therefore immerses and involves the viewer in the scene.
Over The Shoulder Shots:
We used these twice within the OTS in order to show each character from the perspectives of the other characters, and this is used in horror, so that the viewer empathises with the character, usually the victim.
