explanation of shots- group 5

SHOT 1:
The close up/ cutaway shot of the alarm clock is used to automatically introduce the audience the time and begins the link between the playing diegetic music which slowly transforms to non diegetic.

SHOT 2:
The aerial shot links in with the opening credit using a pillowcase to emphasise the originality, thus also keeping the audience interested.

SHOT 3:
The close up is of Daniel staring back at the camera - which is meant to be a mirror, identifying with the audience that he is getting ready for something in the bathroom with the fact of him brushing his teeth.

SHOT 4:
The mid-shot of Daniel begins with a view of his legs then a telephoto zoom of his footwear/shoes while he is putting them on linking in the credit sequence.

SHOT 5:
The text message on the mobile phone is again purposely used as mise-en-scene to indicate that this is a teen genre with the inclusion of the props we use.

SHOT 6:
The mid panning shot is used to identify the location where the audience sees Daniel’s relation with the props they know that that is his house.

SHOT 7:
The camera in the cupboard creates a confined special feeling and the combinations of shapes focus on the main character to identify with the audience that he is basically boxed up.

SHOT 8:
The transition from the cupboard to the school locker creates a continuous mood and atmosphere but set in another location. This is done to portray the persistence of Daniel always being a target, of victimization.

SHOT 9:
We use the over the shoulder shot to continue the alienation effect, alluring a sympathetic feeling between the audience and our main character. Daniel.

SHOT 10,11,12:
These are the flashback stages of Daniel being bullied, psychologically, to build awareness to the audience of what’s happening. Theses methods of bullying we use here are, his drink getting spiked, multiple pictures of him along the college walls and his clothes being replaced with children’s clothes and because he has nothing else he has to wear them.

SHOT 13:
Once maintaining the audience’s awareness of what has happened/happening, we purposely want Daniel to close the locker door to show the ending of his life of bullying and leaves the audience in a cliff hanger/enigma, initially it being the end of the shot!

SHOT 14:
Continuing the originality of our credit sequence we had to put the title on the locker, then using the camera to focuses in on it setting the atmosphere for the audience.
