Mise-en-scene in my film - Camera Angles

In our film we have decided to use a variety of camera angles. This consists of, long shots, close up shots, extreme close up shots, match-on-action shot, reverse shot and extreme long shots. 

During the beginning of the film more long shots are used at it is building the atmosphere of the movie, however at the very start there is a reverse shot to show Nicole reading the tweet on her phone. Long shots are used to show Nicole walking her dogs along the track in the forest, it is likely we could use close up shots of her feet walking when filming. We then will use a close up shot when she discovers the 'Missing Person' poster on the floor, this will introduce the plot of story to the audience. A mixture of long shots and close up shots will be used to create a tense and eerie atmosphere so the audience are unaware of the surroundings, especially when the dog is running after and Nicole chases after her. 

When Nicole then finds her friend (the missing person) tied up in the forest, a long shot will be used to show that someone is there, then a close shot to show who the girl is exactly then it will be a close up shot of the antagonist (the villain). When Nicole begins to run a mixture of long and close up shots will be included to show the pace and panic of the moment. Once in her car, reverse shots will be used to create mystery as to what is behind her as if someone is watching her from behind, then suddenly from a reverse shot we will see the villain stood in the wind mirror of the car, which will shock the audience and make them scared as it will be unexpected especially as we will use close up shots to show the villains facial identity.
