Codes and Conventions

The camera angles we used in our thriller was a range of shots, we used low angle shots where we could see the feet of the person who was walking/running. We used low angle also when the woman was looking in the cupboard for the young boy while playing hide and seek. We also used high angle shots, for example when the woman is walking up the stairs in her house looking for the young boy again. Another shot we used was medium shot, which we used most of the way through our thriller.

Some other shots which we used are:
Long shot
Mediun shot
Close up shot
Exstream close up shot
Eye level shot

We used these shots mainly becuase we know films are more successful when there is a range of shots. It makes the film more interesting and easier to follow and makes our film build suspense.

The thrillers that we watched at the start of the topic, use most of these shots and more, we tryed to include most of the shots they use, mainly because they are succsessful with the making of their films and they worked when they edited the shots together.
