Why are you using this shot?
1 1 00:09.09 It was a nicely composed shot that established the setting.
2 2 00:05.03
It looked like a continuation of the previous shot, to continue
the flow of the action.
3 4 00:06.17
The amount of negative space in this shot was suitable for the
credit we wanted to include here.
4 2 00:12.02
The length of the tracking shot allowed us to include three
credits.
5 5 00:02.06
After trying to get this shot several times, this was the
smoothest and most stable.
6 3 00:03.04 This shot fit in best with the previous shot.
7 1 00:04.16
We liked the lighting and composition of this shot. It also
worked well as a reaction shot after the low-battery one.
8 1 00:06.07
The black sky at the beginning of the shot shows that some
time has passed since earlier in the film.
9 3 00:06.03
This shot was filmed at the wrong time but we used a few FCP
effects layered on top of each other to disguise this and give a
disoriented POV effect.
10 2 00:06.08
Same as previous, but with a security camera effect instead of
POV.
11 3 00:05.14
This shot wasn’t level but it added to the disoriented effect so
we kept it.
12 2 00:02.05 This was the smoothest tracking shot we were able to shoot.
13 3 00:02.17 The shakiness of this shot also added to the disoriented effect.
14 1 00:02.21 We needed a front-on view of the antagonists.
15 3 00:02.03 The shakiness of this shot also added to the disoriented effect.
16 5 00:04.10
We had to speed this shot up to continue the pace of the
action.
17 1 00:04.03 We liked the zooming effect in this shot.
18 2 00:04.02
We composited two shots together here so that the display
read ‘666’ - to hint at supernatural forces.
19 2 00:02.05 I used this shot for filler - we didn’t originally intend to use it.
20 3 00:03.15
The reaction of our actor fit well with the voice coming through
the telephone.
21 4 00:01.14
This shot worked as a transition between the reaction shot and
the final running shot.
22 2 00:08.23
We liked the imagery of the phone swinging and the out-of-
focus running in the background.
