The visual progression of my short film is going to start with extreme close
ups and slow paced editing and it will ultimately end up with fast paced long
shots.
My idea begins with the protagonist waking up and eating breakfast. I will use long cuts. One scene for example will be that of an egg cracking and going into a pan filled with sizzling oil. as the egg sizzles violently for the first few seconds the camera will remain but as the sizzling dies down it will cut to a shot of the protagonist putting the eggs on a plate from close up.
For example the opening scene to dexter is a great demonstration of the shot's I'd use. The centre image there of the egg is likely one I will use.
Later on once the change has been initiated the protagonist will be wearing the TV on his head he will enter the field and it will contain extreme long shots, the ominous music will add to the horror atmosphere of the film.

I have opted to use this structure for my visual progression mainly because it suits the atmosphere to the short film very well and it will keep the audience on edge. Recently I have been studying The Hurt Locker for AS Film Studies, it is a film that uses camera movement and visual progression very well to build suspense and create the correct and intense atmosphere so that the audience remains encaptured within the film.
