This shot is a mid-shot of our hero and villain in a chase scene. Our hero runs in from the left of the screen and exits on the right, with our villain following shortly after. I chose this shot to demonstrate our editing and special effects in our scene. This is by the way we got it to look as if our villain wiped our title off the screen as he runs past it, making the titles seem as if they are part of the scene and less of an add-on.
It also looks more professional and changes things up a bit by breaking away from our format of having our titles simply fade in and fade out again. This change in titles makes it more obvious that the pace of the scene has changed as well. Before the action began, the titles would just slowly fade in and out. After the arrow is fired and the villain begins to chase after our hero, the titles flash up on screen straight away and leave the screen in this fashion. I feel that this would appeal to our target audience of male teenagers as they would want an increase in pace quite early in the film to grab their attention, so this influenced our decision to change the titles. When the pace of the scene slows down again we return to the format of having our titles fade in and out.
This shot also gives the audience a substantial look at our villain. The main factors of our villain that our audience are likely to notice first would be the crossbow he is wielding, the balaclava covering his face and the hood he has up, meaning only his eyes are visible. The crossbow as a prop choice should appeal to our target audience as well, as it is associated with blood and gore which male teenagers would be interested in. The crossbow is obvious in showing the characters threat and demeanor, whereas the combination of the hood and balaclava show he is concerned with hiding his identity and makes the character a mystery that the audience will want answers to.
