Camera Shots and Angles

 



This is a medium close up shot containing multiple people. I believe it is a medium close up shot since you can see the from the characters' head on down to the chest for all 3 of them. This type of shot can make the audience feel included and / or special as if they were a part of the group standing next to the actors in the shot.



This is a big close up shot. I belive this is a big close up shot since you can only see the character's shoulders and not even their whole head which defines a big close up shot very well. This type of shot can make the actor look superior to the audience and make the actor shown more dominant and look more aggressive, this shot can aslo be done to define very small details on the charactere's face, e.g: the wrinkles.

This is an over-the-shoulder shot. I belive that this is an over-the-shoulder shot since we (the audience / the camera) are behind the actor and look foward seeing almost the same perspective as them. This shot can make the audience feel as if they were the character themselves because they are seeing the world from almost the same view as the actor.

This is a high angle shot. I belive this is a high angle shot because the viewer / camera is looking down at the actor meaning the camera is placed high up in the hence the name, high angle shot. This type of shot can make the audience feel much streonger, morew dominant and make the actor look weak and submissive as if the actor was out of control and possibly foreshadowing some chaos about to go down.


I chose the mise-en-scene aspect of props from this shot since there was quite a lot of them on the right side to see clearly. The props in this shot all look very electrical, fancy if not even futuristic. You can see lots of wires everywhere and big overwhelming metal structures with a very simplistic and futurstic, modern design.
