Reflections on shots

Genre:
We chose horror as our genre and we decided to represent this by having dull colours and a tilted LS to convey the strangeness of our main character, and to make her look sinister. The hair on one side of her face and the intense look makes her look like a villain.

Achieving the effect:
We achieved the effect by putting a sepia setting on the camera and shining a pag light directly on Ella and tilting the camera.

What is successful:
I think the genre is being conveyed successfully and our decision on changing the setting on the camera and tilting the frame was a good idea, because it conveys the darkness of our character.

Improvements:
I would probably make the shot tighter, an MCU or CU so we could control more in the shot and get rid of the background. The lighting is good, but I would change it by putting the light underneath Ella's face to give harsh shadows on her face to make the shot even stranger.
