We used various camera shots and angles to convey different information and elicit specific audience reactions. Extreme close-ups showed character emotions, over-the-shoulder shots established empathy and distance, and cut-in shots revealed key narrative details. Medium shots focused on characters within their environment while full shots emphasized action over emotional states.

1. We used as an
establishing which
is used to establish
the location and
environment
We used an
extreme close up to
portray the
emotions and
reaction of a
character which
dominates the
scene.
We used an over the
shoulder shot to establish
an empathy with the
characters shoulder as well
as establishing the distance
between the character and
what he or she is
observing.

2. We used a cut-in shot
which releases key
information necessary to
understand the narrative,
An example of this would
be the message scribbled
on the sheet of paper in
our trailer
We used a full shot
which tends to be
more on action and
movement rather than
a character’s emotional
state.
A medium shot was
used as it as it focuses on
a character (or
characters) in a scene
while still showing some
environment.
