11 Shot Analysis - Contageon

Shot 1

Shot 1 is of a coffee mug fro m a high angle. This suggests that it is morning. A male voice (diegetic) is heard from off-screen.

Shot 2

Shot 2 is a low angle shot of who we can assume is our main character looking tired and concentrated on what we can assume is the coffee mug below us. The voice of the man continues.

Shot 3

Shot 3 contrasts with our last close up shots taking the audience far from our character to see her actions. She struggles to pick up the mug, dropping it- this suggests that the character is ill and that the film follows her illness.

Shot 4

Shot 4 is a wide shot from a different angle. Our second character - the previously speaking man comes into frame to assist her. There is a sense of panic in the man's voice and fast pace action caught by this wide angled shot.

Shot 5

Shot 5 seems to be a mirror of shot 4 as it is a wide shot but we now see the opposite side of the characters. The two characters move across the frame in shot 5. She sits on the stool in the foreground but then falls.

Shot 6

Shot 6 follows her falling onto the ground with a close up. I think the 'thump' sound is non-deigetic because it sounds too loud to be diegetic.

Shot 7

Shot 6 quickly cuts to shot 7. The close up of the second characters face enables us to see his sense of worry. We can only hear him telling somebody off frame to go away.

Shot 8

Shot 8 is a mid-shot of a young boy in a door way. He is the person our second character was telling to go away. We can still hear out second character telling him this.

Shot 9

We return back to a similar shot like shot 7.

Shot 10

Shot 9 is a close up of the young boy. We can see a worried and upset expression on his face as she looks to another area of the room. The voice of the second character can still be heard.

Shot 11

Shot 10 is a mid shot although the audience's view is partially blocked by the set. This creates a mood of unease as the audience has too look through a smaller frame (such as round a corner or through a window). Here we can hear more movement of our firs character who is ceasing.

• I like how in shot 11 the audience has to bend round corners to see the action in the frame. Because this creates mood, it would be an easy yet effective shot to use in my foundation portfolio.
