Using ideas for our film:
We watched the scene in the film 'Ransom' in which the boy gets kidnapped. We thought the way they showed this was very effective so therefore thought it would be a good idea to do something similar in our film.
At first, they switch shots from the boy to the kidnapper a number of times, eventually the kidnapper getting closer to the boy. One of the last shots before the boy gets kidnapped is of the kidnapper in the background with the boy in focus then the focus switches to the kidnapper. Also, the music causes the tension to increase as the audience gets the feeling something bad is going to happen.
With the actual kidnapping they used a tracking shot with the boy looking towards the camera with the kidnapper behind him. As the kidnapper comes to grab the boy there is a second in which a wall is in the way so you can't see it happening. The camera continues to move when the wall finishes the audience can see that there is no one there, therefore the boy has been taken away.
We want to use something similar to that where you are unable to see the actual kidnapping, we thought this would be more effective as professional actors would be needed to make a scene effective if the kidnapping is seen but we are unable to have professionals. So not seeing what actually happens would be more effective in what recourses we have and also it causes the audience's tension to become greater as they don't really know what happened exactly.
Instead of using a wall to block out what is scene, we would use a car because we are going to set our kidnapping scene in a car park at night. When the lady in our film gets kidnapped it is going to suddenly switch back to later on when she is being attacked.
