Planning: Contra zoom/ introducing the charater.

Posted on 14:22 by The Coalition | 0 comments

This shot was blocked in a long corridor of the school, to introduce the imaginary friend, hopefully if all goes to plan using a contra zoom, used by Alfred Hitchcock in Vertigo (1958).  The camera is also going to be on an angle, because subconsciously this will put the audience's mind on an uncomfortable edge, by distorting reality.

This is the desired effect, to signify to the audience that seeing this character is very significant to the film this will help portray the importance, in the short five minutes we have to tell our story successfully. Also the meaning to this style of zoom is a scene of something that’s not real, a fear or something out of the ordinary, it makes the audience understand how the character may feel by giving them a visual expression of an emotion or inner feeling.
