Camera Movements & Transitions

Our thriller includes aerial footage, which we obtained by using an octocopter. The aerial shots in our final cut help to highlight the isolation of Sam, the victim in our narrative. Having used lots of repetitive camera transitions, such as close ups and mid shots shot at conventional high and low angles, the aerial shot further provides the viewer with an exterior perspective of the action and acts as a change in camera movement, ultimately holding the interest of and engaging the audience.

In the video below, Siân and I discuss our reasoning for wanting to include aerial footage in our thriller opening and why we used and did not use certain clips in our final cut.
