Tracking shot – The first shot of this clip is a tracking shot which it uses to focus in to the frame of picture which makes the photo of the birthday cake and the girl (Jessie) in focus which becomes clear. Also it is a wide shot moving in to a close shot because it comes from far into her only focusing on one bit its closest to focus on. This shows viewers that it is the women waking up viewing her daughter in her dream/mind.

Static shot – The first static shot clip 3 shows you is at the start where Jessie the little girl is blowing out her birthday cake. This is a static shot because the camera is still with no movement only the things in the camera is the only thing moving. The shot shows that it is her birthday and her mom is watching her blow out her candles.

This photo is a mid shot which shows Sarah’s upper body from her waist to the top of her head. This shows the audience what she is doing involving arms, shoulder, and head which is mainly in this photo.

This is a shift focus where it will focus Sarah while she is getting out of her hospital bed it will stop focusing her and shift onto the heart beat monitor which tells the audience that suspense is building up.

This is a close up showing only her face showing her state she is in and her emotion more clear.

These shots took her while Sarah is running away from the dark corridors which something is chasing her which is called a POV shot where it provokes to the audience that the film is about darkness and fear.

In this scene this is called a trombone shot therefore it zooms out and in at the same time creating a effect which shows good background effect and builds suspense.

This is called a 360 shot which the camera twirls around the point of view it is focusing on and spirals round looking at all points of the women crying.

This is a 2 shot which contains a camera shot with only two people showing emotions clear around two characters.

This is a close up which shows just her face and shoulders which puts the point across of her feelings and emotions set in her face.
