Low angle, long shot when we were all together |
We used a number of different shots and camera angles for a number of different reasons. We used lots of High angles shot early on in the film to hint that the characters are very vulnerable and to also give the audience a sense of anticipation.
We used an establishing shot at the beginning to give the audience a sense of the location for our micro-drama, this is common in a lot of horror films. We used this for the very first shot of the house and the boys coming into the shot because it

Mise en scene:
The suitcases for mise en scene |
In terms of mise en scene, to be honest it wasn't one of the main focuses whilst we were shooting however we knew we needed a few key pieces of mise en scene to signify certain things so the audience would meet our preferred reading.
We used the suitcases to signify that the boys were going on a holiday of some sort.

Editing:
Match on action used |
We used the simple editing techniques in our micro-drama to give the film continuity and to not break the verisimilitude.
Sound:
The sound we used in our micro-drama was non-digetic sound. As it links in with the editing we didn't have time to produce a sound track or include any sound effects, this is what lets the micro-drama down.
To summarise, this was our first time doing anything like this and i think we did quite well in the end. Although there are a few things i would change and things i would do differently. The good thing is from this we were able to take feedback and we know how to do certain things in certain ways and hopefully i can apply my knowledge to future coursework tasks.
