dawn of the dead 
Opening Scene
This is the long shot to establish who's in the scene. There is then a medium shot 
of the characters when they talk. We can tell who's more important by who's in front 
in the camera. The most important character as it seems is the man but he is just 
on the phone. The long shot is a useful establishing shot because we see who's 
doing what. And it’s a hospital.
A pan shot is used to give the effect if looking at her street through her eyes. And 
pans 180 degrees which is useful because we can really get the effect of fear and 
ditsier from her eyes.
These are extreme long shots. The 
first of the city, then another of the 
city. These establish what's in the 
scene. As you can see its disaster. 
The scene where we look down at 
the street shows us where she's 
diving
There is a low angle and a high angle in these shots. The low shot empathizes the 
irony and emergency when she walks past the camera and we se the emergency 
sign. You can tell there wick be an emergency. The high angle focuses on the flags 
but you can see her walking towards an ambulance, making it clearer what's 
happening,
These close ups are used to 
emphases or show you something. 
For example the clock emphasis the 
time. As if a countdown till something 
bad happening. The photo shows us 
the main character and her spouse 
and what sort of relationship they 
have. Finally the news bulletin 
emphasis that there's breaking news 
and something bad happening.
These are close ups and extreme close 
ups to emphasizes what's happening. The 
extreme close ups show you that she's put 
her foot down gently. And that the girl 
zombie is obviously gory and zombiefied.
