Shots/props used in spy films

The programme MI High was where we got our ideas for a spy film from. In this opening it uses various shots which are typical for a spy film, for example:
- begins with a character running, it is fast paced and tracks her running away from someone.
- Mid shots are used to introduce the main character
- Close ups are used to show who the other man was, and all the children in the class
- Over the shoulder shots are used for important conversations, to make the audience feel as if we are part of it
- When more important information is given the camera uses close ups


Props:
- To show that the girl is a geek, she is wearing glasses to suggest that she is clever. Her school uniform is worn properly compared to other students so this further shows she's a geek as she follows school rules.
- The pencil is an important prop, it is her gadget in the film to show that she is needed, this is something that we will need for our film when we make it.
- The teacher is wearing a suit to show that he is professional, and he also carries files which suggests that he has responsibility. As we have a teacher in the opening of our film, we may need to think about what he will be wearing.
- The other children have props such as lipgloss, hats and gum to show that they are naughty and don't respect school rules, which makes the other character stand out more and she is different. The girl wearing lipgloss and wearing big gold earings reading the magazine, shows that she doesn't really want to be at school and that she doesn't care. For our children's film opening we will need to think about the use of props carefully as it represents what the character is like.
