Initial Shot 6- Midshot

For the sixth shot type we will be using a midshot to show the main character walking across a road and moving out of the camera frame as she does so. We decided that this shot type is effective as a midshot allows more of her facial expressions to be shown. This is important as we believe that we don't want to reveal too much about the girl's appearence at the start. However as the film progresses we will use closer shots so the audience can feel as though they are getting to know her, and by the end of the film they will feel that they know everything about it. The fact that we will be showing her moving out of the camera frama will effectively represent her on going journey and her desire to find her parents and how focused she is on doing so. We decided that this particular shot needs ten seconds, this is because she will obviously need a bit of time to cross the road safely and we want to capture the whole of her walk as she walks out of the frame.
