2. A Focus Pull is a when a shot transitions
to a different focus point within a shot. I
feel this shot is really effective as it allows
you to focus on multiple things in one
shot without having to film two separate
ones. Its satisfying to watch as if
performed correctly and at the right pace,
it can emphasise importance of characters
or objects. An example of a film that
includes this is Jurassic park where the
camera zooms slowly into a close up of a
man holding a shiny stone, which then
pulls the focus from the man to the stone.
Showing the importance of the stone.

3. Crane shots are a way of
establishing the scene without
using everyday methods such as
establishing shot or long shot. A
crane shot is more Intriguing to
watch than simple shots. It also
can introduce other elements of
a room you may not see without
a higher shot. An example of a
productions that uses this is
technique include: El Greco and
My life in Ruins, plus many
other examples. As seen in the
link below

4. I like matching action shots as they
make a production more interesting.
Some find it boring to watch a
continuous shot that goes on for a
while, a matching action shot allows
the audience to stay interested
whilst watching a shot, it also makes
a scene shorter keeping the
audiences attention span high. An
example of a media production that
uses this technique would be the TV
series ‘Friends’ who use a matching
action shot to show a kiss between
two characters without it being one
single shot.

5. Although this technique is considered
quite simple I find it shows keeps the
audience members engaged with the
production as it is not a continuous shot,
similar to the matching action shot. A
Jump cut increases the intensity of a
scene as well as keep the scene exciting.
An example of a film that uses this
technique is ‘A space odyssey’ which
jumps between cuts of a gorilla throwing
a bone and a spaceship lying through
space.
