TAKE !No.

Length!(mm:ss) Why are you using this shot?

1 1 00:09.09 It was a nicely composed shot that established the setting.

2 2 00:05.03 It looked like a continuation of the previous shot, to continue the flow of the action.

3 4 00:06.17 The amount of negative space in this shot was suitable for the credit we wanted to include here.

4 2 00:12.02 The length of the tracking shot allowed us to include three credits.

5 5 00:02.06 After trying to get this shot several times, this was the smoothest and most stable.

6 3 00:03.04 This shot fit in best with the previous shot.

7 1 00:04.16 We liked the lighting and composition of this shot. It also worked well as a reaction shot after the low-battery one.

8 1 00:06.07 The black sky at the beginning of the shot shows that some time has passed since earlier in the film.

9 3 00:06.03This shot was filmed at the wrong time but we used a few FCP effects layered on top of each other to disguise this and give a disoriented POV effect.

10 2 00:06.08 Same as previous, but with a security camera effect instead of POV.

11 3 00:05.14 This shot wasn’t level but it added to the disoriented effect so we kept it.

12 2 00:02.05 This was the smoothest tracking shot we were able to shoot.

13 3 00:02.17 The shakiness of this shot also added to the disoriented effect.

14 1 00:02.21 We needed a front-on view of the antagonists.

15 3 00:02.03 The shakiness of this shot also added to the disoriented effect.

16 5 00:04.10 We had to speed this shot up to continue the pace of the action.

17 1 00:04.03 We liked the zooming effect in this shot.

18 2 00:04.02 We composited two shots together here so that the display read ‘666’ - to hint at supernatural forces.

19 2 00:02.05 I used this shot for filler - we didn’t originally intend to use it.

20 3 00:03.15 The reaction of our actor fit well with the voice coming through the telephone.

21 4 00:01.14 This shot worked as a transition between the reaction shot and the final running shot.

22 2 00:08.23 We liked the imagery of the phone swinging and the out-of-focus running in the background.
