After our ending wasn't up to scratch we decided to add in some action and our character handling her rifle. We did a variety of shots to show that Abbie can kill and survive however also to show her fear and innocence. The shots we used where...
Two extreme close ups of Abbie with the gun.
A close up
Full shot of the actor kneeling down.
These shots were used to give the viewer a hint into the story to come and to show the depth in the character. The extreme close up's were mainly used to show the characters fear. One was an extrame close up of Abbie's finger slipping of the trigger showing she is scared/nervous anticipating the battle.
The other was an extreme close up of Abbie's eyes to show her emotions.
The final full shot was used to show the viewer that even though she is nervous she knows how to handle herself and keep alive.
Overall the shots contrast each other and look good as it shows the characters personality and charactersitics. It implies that she has fear but is a born survivor and will kill if necessray. Furthermore we also decided to challenge the conventions of the genre by adding fear to the character. On many post-apocalyptic films manny characters dont show fear and vunrability that often, however we have displayed it in this instance. Here is the clip!:
