Shot List

We used a variety of shots within our film opening.

 We used shot reverse shot when Peter and Sarah were talking to each other. This was to show the conversation between the both of them. We decided that this would be a good way to allow the audience to recognise and understand two of the characters involved in our film.

For this shot within the title sequence we decided to use an over the shoulder shot. We chose this shot because it shows Peters reflection in the mirror. This is stereotypical of a teenager as they tend to spend a longer time in front of the mirror. This follows the uses and  gratifications theory of personal identity as teenagers can relate to it.

Point of view shot, this is used while Jay is staring at Peter when he walks into the class this gives the audience a more engaging point of view.

We used a low angle when the bullies are approaching Peter. This is because we wanted the audience to realise that the bullies were more dominant. By doing this angle, it allowed the bullies to appear over powering and terrifying for peter. It also allowed the audience to be put in Peters shoes.

We used a high angle to show when Peter had been beaten up. We used a high angle when he was getting up off the floor. This allowed the audience to see how badly Peter was after getting hit. It creates sympathy for Peter and the audience can connect with him.
