PHOTO STORY BOARD / CAMERA SHOT ANALYSIS




We picked a wide / establishing shot as it is used to introduce a location or to set the scene. Therefore we have chosen this camera shot in order to inform the audience about the surroundings and where the story or scene will take place.


We then chose a over the shoulder shot that is normally used to represent conversations between people but in this case we choose to use it to show the point of view from the stalker to show the victim she has targeted. 



We then chose a high angle shot to show the inside of the building that the victim.We also choose this shot to introduce the stalkers face.

 This is at a lower angle to show dominance and power the stalker has over the victim. This also shows that the victim still does not seem to realise that he is being followed.




This is a medium close up as it visibly shows the head and shoulders. This makes it easier to recognise any facial expressions or emotions. This photograph makes the victim looks small and vulnerable.
This will also create a sense of sympathy for others as they see how weak he appears to be in this shot.



We choose a medium close up again to show that the victim is still unaware of the stalker also to show that where ever the victim seem to turn she is always there watching him.


Long shot : to introduce the new environment. In this scene finally the victim realises that he is being followed therefore makes a run for it. This shows that the victim is terrified at this point however we see the stalker who stands there calm as she knows that there is no escape for him.



Long shot : We choose to continue using long shot so it is easier to see the action happening. In this is the stalker has caught the victim and attacks him. Although it is a long shot we can see that the victim is struggling and scared at this point.



Long shot : we continue using long shot so that the audience can see the action going on. In this scene the victim is now been pushed down the hill by the stalker.


Long shot; In this scene the victim is rolling down the hill clearly helpless and the stalker is standing at the top the hill laughing as she has managed to achieve her goal.


Medium shot: This shot shows that the victim has been killed and you see the stalker feet on the side.

FILM POSTER ANALYSIS

Image result

Language:

The title and tag-line, release date all follow the expected codes and conventions of a film poster. The poster contains images of the stars in the main picture but not their names which could suggest they are well known.
The poster features an image in the form of glass breaking to give an idea that you need to see it this could draw in audience as it creates interest in the poster. the only tagline featured is that it is part of the Divergent series , this would create and interest in the audience who have seen the first film and could also make a new audience want to watch the series.The sky in the background of the image is cloudy , this could suggest conflict in the film. 

Institution:

Release date: March 19, 2015 (United Kingdom) .Insurgent was directed by Robert Schwentke, produced by Douglas Wick, Lucy FisherPouya Shabazian. Production companies Red Wagon Entertainment, Summit Entertainment, Mandeville Films.
 Starring   Shailene Woodley ,Theo James, Octavia Spencer, Jai Courtney ,Ray Stevenson ,ZoĆ« Kravitz , MilesTeller, Ansel Elgort ,Maggie Q, Naomi Watts , Kate Winslet.

Audience:

The main target audience of " Divergent " looks like it would be mixed gender however perphaps slightly more females because the film poster has a male and female character so we know it must be some sort of romance and young females tend to like romance movies.

Representation: 


 The female character is presented in a new view as she looks like a strong female character holding a gun covered up not so revealing how normally female are shown in film posters. The effect of the audience is that more females would like to watch it as it gives a different and new view of women. Also because it is clearly an action movie but what is unusual is that it seems that a women has the main starring role which is unusual because usually in action movies men have the main starring role.
