Use of Shots

In terms of shot types, we want to use actor positions in the shot to show similarity between characters. We plan to present the boy in an over the should shot on his right shoulder and the girl on the left shoulder to represent a mirror image effect. This will show how the characters are alike in their obsession and that they mirror each other in terms of their personality.

Girls' over the left shoulder shot.

Boy's over the right shoulder shot.

In the opening scene of the film, we will open with a shot of the boy writing in a diary. The shot will go from the boy writing and move to a close-up of the diary through zoom. In the closing scene, we will use the same technique but with the girl. Instead of closing in on the diary, it will go from the close-up shot to the medium shot of the girl writing. This will use the mirror effect also.
