We had to film a mini movie using jelly babies in order to understand shot use better in a film. I have screen shots from the final film of the shots we used, and I'm going to explain the shots we used.
We used this Long Shot to express to the audience how alienated the jelly baby to the left is. It sets the story, and shows the audience what the film is going to be about, through this one shot.
This close up shot makes the audience focus on the character in person, but also shows the name of the production company too. We used this shot because we liked the focus on the character.
This very long shot shows us again how alienated the red jelly baby is from the rest of the jelly babies.
This over the shoulder shot is focused on the black and orange jelly babies, with the red jelly baby out of focus in the background. This shows the audience again that the red jelly baby is obviously pushed out by the other characters and made to feel unimportant.
We used another over the shoulder shot to try and show the audience that there is a conversation going on between the black and orange jelly baby, and they're purposely excluding the red jelly baby.
In this three shot we wanted to try to get the audience to empathize with the jelly baby, as it is trying to talk to the other two, but they're still trying to ignore her.
We used another three shot as we wanted it to be a confrontational shot. The black jelly baby is now shouting at the red one, so we empathise with her, until later on, when she starts to eat the black jelly baby.
We wanted this shot to be a final shot. We decided to use an over the shoulder shot to focus on the green jelly baby to show the audience that the green jelly baby is in love with the red jelly baby, but he is now heartbroken that she killed the black jelly baby so he faints.
