This is a screen shot from one of my favourite clips that we filmed. The lights start viciously flickering and as the lights flash on you see the girls jumping together and the little girl peering round the corner. This is effective as the audience can see that the little girl is their, but the girls cant!
In this shot we are filming from the bottom of the stairs looking up to the upstairs landing. This is a low angle shot looking up at the little girl and gives the idea that the girl is of a higher status, she has the power to do what she wants too. We used dim lighting for this shot with just a light on downstairs to show that she is some where that she shouldn't be. The little girl walks across the landing and stops and stares in the mirror, with the lighting dim it gives a mysterious effect.
I think this is a very effective shot. The camera focuses on the girls just chatting and reading the paper, but then the camera zooms in on the light, and when it zooms out, the little girl appears behind them, spooking staring at them. This is again effective because the girl just appears out of no where, but the girls are unaware that she is there.
In this shot we wanted to create the effect of the camera being dropped and left on the floor, and then you just see the little girls wellie boots walking past the camera. We decided to use this shot to try and intimidate the audience, remind them that the little girls holds all the power.
In this shot we used a simple dark room and a torch. The room was pitch black and we had the camera rolling, but at an unexpected time the little girl turned on the torch and shined it under her face. Each time she turned on the torch, we zoomed the camera in slightly so it gave the effect of the girl getting closer and closer to the camera. This is to make the audince feel scared of the little girl, and the unexpected flases of her face may again intimidate the audience.
