Screen Shots for Main Task

This is a close-up shot of the girls cupboard, which contains all of her medication. This is an important shot because it immediately tells the audience that she is clearly sick or mentally ill solely from the quantity of medicine there is. In this shot there is an ice cream tub with some medication in but for the real Main Task we are going to take this out because it takes away from the effect. The cupboard also has a mirror on the front which we will use later.

We now have a birds eye view shot of the girl getting her medication out of the cupboard and flushing it down the toilet. We use this shot because it gives the audience a clear view of what the girl is doing and it also makes her look extremely vulnerable and weak.







This is a two shot of when the girl shuts the cupboard door and she sees a figure standing behind her. Using a two shot lets the audience see the figure behind her at the same time as the girl does and they feel empathy for the character. This shot gives the audience a clear view of the girls reaction of when she sees the figure and it is also close enough to see her facial expressions.









This is a point of view shot from the girl as she is looking behind her to see if the figure is really there. When the audience see that there is nothing there that is when they confirm that she is mental. It also leaves it to the audience's imagination to decide whether the figure was really there in the first place or if it was the girls imagination.













This is a long shot of the girl looking up at the attic because she can hear something coming from up there. The good thing about this shot is that she looks extremely small in comparison to the space that she is standing in, the audience can also see that she is living in a very plain and dull environment which confirms to them that she is mentally ill due to the fact that she has no desire to decorate her house. The shot is at a slightly low angle which could make her seem powerful and we will focus on having it at a high angle while shooting the Main Task.












This is when the girl goes into the attic to see if there is anything there, this shows that she is clearly mental due to the fact that she is going to see what is making the noise, whereas any normal person would get away from it. We have shot this from a birds eye view to show how vulnerable she is and get a clear view of her walking up the ladder. There is no light coming from the attic which adds suspense and tension for the audience because they suspect something is going to happen while she is up there.
