The Lost Boys

At the begining of this scene it starts with a birds eye view shot of the fairground this helps show you the surroundings where the action is going to take place.


















Next we see a medium close up of David and this gang this could be used to show that they are going to be a the main characters in the film.
( close ups of the others cut out from youtube)








Another part that has been cut out on youtube but is really good. The next close up is of the security gard as he is tells David and the boys to get off the merrygoround. this shows you that he is an imoprtant character. The next time you see him he is walking to his car he is then attacked by the vampires in their bat form you see this take place by the vampires point of view as a birds eye view shot.


Next there is another birds eye view shot showing you again the new surroundings. There is then a tracking shot following the car that Michael, Sam and their mum are in.



























Next we see another medium close up of Michael, Sam, Their Mum Lucy and Nanook the dog in the car. by using the close up it draws more attention to them this lets you know that they are going to be main characters.










There is then a point of view shot from Michael looking a the sign of Santa Carla this helps set the scene beacuse it tells you where they are moving to. Also the sign is brightly coloured which make you think its a nice place to live. but as they drvie past the sign on the other side it says " Murder capital of the world " this instantly makes you aware what the town is really like and that something bad is going to happen to the family.
