Close-up




This is a close-up of Morgan Freeman,
who is one of the main characters in the
film. A close-up shows, the expressions
and actions of a character. We can see
that he is looking in the mirror doing his
tie.
Medium shot




A medium shot, is a shot where you can see the
character, his costume, action and props. We can see in
this shot that he is looking closely at the paper on the
fridge.
Long shot




A long shot is used to show the location. Here we can see that the
location is in a kitchen in a house. Also it shows that this person is
washing up in his sink.
Extreme long shot




An extreme long shot can be used to show a location or a
building. Here we can see different buildings, which are flats
and where Brad Pitt lives with his wife. This extreme long shot
shows us that this is a very busy area in the city.
Track




A track shot is used when the camera, moves in a track along with
the actors or vehicles. Here we can see that the two characters
are walking down the street and the camera moves with them.
Pan




A pan is a movement where it scans a scene horizontally. The camera is placed on a
tripod, which gives the camera a stationary axis point as it is turned left to right, often to
follow a moving object or person. Here we can see the person picks up his blazer then
moves to the right to turn off his lamp.
Tilt
•   A tilt is a movement which scans a scene vertically, otherwise similar to a pan.
    They could use this type of movement if someone is dying or to show something
    happening to them.
Zoom




Zoom is a shot where the camera moves away or closer to the target using
the lens. This could show the importance of an actor or an object. Here we
can see that the camera has zoomed in to Morgan Freeman, who is in his
bed.
Cut
Pace
•   The film straight away introduces the main character before the credits, and then
    goes straight into the scene where they investigate the house and the characters,
    Mills and Somerset meet. The pace of the film is moderately fast, as it introduces
    the main characters starightaway.
Performance
•   Performance is to show the expressions or conversation of a character. This is
    important, because it could show the characters personality or relationship with
    others.
Diegetic
•   Diegetic sounds, are the sounds which the characters can hear or make. For
    example in the film ‘Seven’, when it starts we can hear Morgan Freeman putting
    away cutlery in his kitchen, that is a diegetic sound.
Non-diegetic
•   Non-diegetic music is the sounds which the characters cannot hear. For example as
    there is an extreme long shot of the city, there is music in the background, maybe
    to describe the city.
Mis en-scene
•   This shot shows what and who is in the scene. For example, it shows everything in
    the scene, so in this film ‘Seven’, when they go to investigate, it shows the dead
    body, the detectives, insects, the furniture and insects. We can see what is
    happening in one shot.
