During the production of my media magazine at AS level, I used different camera angles and shot sizes to make my magazine look professional and of a high quality. As I am now producing a film, I have now had to go back and re research different camera angles and shot sizes so that I am able to choose ones that will be most effective to my genre.
To help me with my research I looked on the website 'The Grammar of Television and Film', this showed my different shot size, camera angles and camera movement. These show the most important conventions for conveying meaning through particular camera and editing techniques.

CAMERA TECHNIQUES: DISTANCE
Important ones I will be using through the production of my film will be:
XLS or Establishing Shot - This will be used because it shows all or most of a fairly large subject and usually much of its surroundings. I can use this shot for the opening scene of the house which will set the scene for my trailer and also when establishing the bedroom we will be filming in.
MCU - BCU - Medium Close up, Close up and Big Close up will be useful when displaying reactions of different characters, throughout my horror these are useful when displaying fear, shock and evil (within the ghost girls face). These shots can also show reaction shots between two characters.
CAMERA MOVEMENT : ANGLE

CAMERA MOVEMENT : ANGLE
Important ones I will be using through the production of my film will be:
Low and High angle shots: These will exaggerate the power or importance of a character. For example, the ghost girl will have a low angle shot because she has power over her victims, this angle is a very effective way of showing this. A high angle shot will show the vunerability of the other characters.
Birds eye: This angle will be used when filming ontop of the wardrobe, behind the chine dolls which will give the effect that someone is watching her.

CAMERA TECHNIQUES: MOVEMENT
Panning: This is effective as it can display more of a scene of act as though something is following the movement of someone whilst staying still.
Tilt: This will be used when shooting the attic scene (when the two characters open the attic door) It will be tilting down, following the motion of the door opening.
Hand-held camera: A hand-held camera can produce a jerky, bouncy, unsteady image which may create a sense of immediacy or chaos. Its use is a form of subjective treatment. This will be effective when filming the scene of looking out from over the wardrobe. It also provides a point of view shot, which we act as though someone is watching that is unbeknown to the audience yet. Provides a sense of tension and intrigues the audience.
