3. Purpose and effect of use:
• The close ups are used quite a lot in these types of films due
to the extremely intense scenes based around the strong
character emotions, it usually involves them shouting and
screaming, followed by shot reverse shots.
• In the past media text that I have analysed that fit into the
British film Genre two shots are used very frequently, this is
because of the popular group narrative that exists in the
majority of these films. The directors use these to show the
connection between characters and the closeness.
• Extreme close ups are noticeably used when the director
wishes to focus in on an action taking place in the film, such
as gambling, punching or stabbing.
