Type of shot What is happening in the

shot?
This shot has been used to make the
audience
Mid angle

In this shot, the audience is shown
that the location of the scene is
outside from the wall in the
background. In the foreground, you
can see James bond holding a gun
This mid-angle shot is used so the audience can
see the distance between the character. This also
shows the tension, so the audience can distinctly
recognise his frustration. It has also been used so
that they can focus on the gun..
High angle

This shot shows both characters,
crouching in anticipation at the
object ahead of them. In the
background, we can see they are
outside and standing on a hill.
This high-angle shot enables the audience to be
aware that the characters are crouching down
and hiding from the action in front of them. The
positioning of the camera above the characters
gives the audience an idea of their vulnerability in
the situation.
Low angle

The characters are looking down
onto another character/scene from
above a higher vantage point. They
seem to be about to act upon what
they are seeing; as the shot shows
their facial expressions which are of
anxiety.
This shot is used so the audience are aware of
their positioning in the scene, being higher than
what they are looking at. As well it shows the
audience of the scenery, so they are aware the
action is taking outside.
Birds eye

From this birds eye view, we can
see a character being lifted into the
air whereas below characters are
looking up at the descending
character. We can also see that the
scene is set in the back garden of a
house.
The birds eye view adds a serious view to the
scene, as the character is floating into the sky;
allowing the audience to view this stern scene
from more than just on the ground. This higher
view also allows the audience to see the distance
which the subject has been raised from the
ground.
Close up

We can see from this shot that the
character is witnessing another
event. It also shows us the distress
that the character is showing at
what he appears to be looking at.
We can also see the state that the
character is in, who is quite bloody
and dirty.
The audience can see from the close up the
distress that the character is in. This shot also
allows the audience to see the reaction the
character has at the event before him (which
would have been shown in the previous scene.)
His reaction will also, in this circumstance, build
tension in the scene as the audience are informed
that, from his facial expressions, he is anxious at
what he is about to act upon.

Extreme close up

The shot shows the character, Ron
Weasley, in a situation of
bewilderment and confusion. The
shot focuses on the character
alone, and the scenes behind him
are out of focus.
This extreme close-up is used so that the audience
can focus on the character alone and not any
external action that is taking place in the
background. It allows the audience to focus their
attention fully on the characters facial
expressions, as he reacts to the situation before
him in complete puzzlement.
Long shot

This shot shows characters huddled
together in the middle of the road.
The characters are reacting in fear
at what lies before them. We can
also see the landscape of this
scene.
The long shot provides a extended view of the
scene around the characters. Therefore, it is
important in this case for the audience to
acknowledge their whereabouts in the scene;
which is set around the edge of a town in London
and may be vital in the plot. It is also used to
make the audience aware of the close huddle
which the characters have formed suggesting that
they are in fear of something in front of them.
Extreme long shot

We can see in this shot the setting
of the location, the school
Hogwarts in the background. It also
shows the characters moving down
the steps from above the hill in
order approach another location.
This shot is used so the audience are informed
that the characters are moving from one location
to another. This extreme long shot allows the
audience to take in the layout of the scene as well
as to emphasise the distance which the characters
may have had to travel in order to reach their
destination.
Over the shoulder shot

This shot shows on character
talking to the main character. We
see the other character over the
shoulder of the main character
perhaps instructing or advising the
other. The scene also occurs in a
room, as there is a cross designed
window and wall.
This shot allows the audience an insight into what
the main character sees from his point of view. In
this case, the audience are aware that the other
character is instructing other. It also adds realism
to the shot as the audience adopt the same view
as the character.
