The first shot is from the Let Me In trailer, It is a long shot using a rule of thirds with the smoke in the centre of the background.
The scene is very dark and is very film noire like, the use of shadows and darkness ads to the tension of the scene.
The clip features the convention "Help Me" scene in a horror film.
The second storyboard is from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Its is positioned behind a stair post, as if we are looking through, a point of view long shot.
Similar to other horrors, it is very dark and the use of silhouettes sets the mood of the scene.
In the clip from Sinister it shows the juxtaposition of light and dark between the two shots.
The first clip is a vintage, bright high saturated scene of a family having fun, the next dark, scary scene of the same family being hung.
The use of rule of thirds, positions the characters in the scene. The family have changed sides, the clip is filmed with a handi-cam to make It look like a private video tape.
Excellent Liam - now start thinking about particular shots you would like to use to distinguish your film.
