Camera techniques decisions.

After a discussion with the group,  we decided to try out camera techniques that'll convey meaning or connections. This decision is mainly done due to the fact that our scene relies heavily on suspense, therefore we keep the dialogue to a minimum. This makes it extremely hard to show the audience what our character is feeling, or thinking or even looking at.

To overcome this, we've decided to use a variety of techniques found in our story board, which may help with clarity. focus pulls will be used to show a character's relation with an object, or other character. For example, pulling the focus from a gun, to the character holding it can be used to show control, or danger.

We will also use continuity editing techniques such as match on action shots to stop the introduction from being boring. Having a stare down between two men would be extremely dull without different shots and actions. With the angles, we will probably not use low or high angles, as these may convey power and weakness and as it is an introduction, the audiences shouldn't know. Originally we want to keep the techniques brief to fit western conventions, though this may appeal to our audiences more.
