Camera Shots and Angles

This camera shot is a medium shot of a women sitting down in a chair facing towards the wall in the dark. This suggests that see is trying to be sneaky and careful which is probably why see is sitting alone in the dark, The darkness also suggests that she is doing something bad/something that she shouldn't be doing and that's why she is alone in the dark. Being dark creates a sinister/eerie which then can make the viewer uncomfortable or frightened because they don't know whats going to happen.

This camera shot is a high angle medium shot of a police officer, this is effective as it gives the viewer a glimpse the officer and what facial expressions are being used. For example in this image the officer looks unhappy because he's done something wrong and is getting blamed for it which suggests that he should of done this job better and he wouldn't be in this position, the high angle suggests that he is talking to someone that is a higher rank than him and that he has more power over him which suggests that he is taking control.

This camera shot is low angle medium shot a man in a suit standing facing the camera which is effective as it makes the viewer feel that the man is looking at them which makes you feel apart of the film. The low angle is effective because it suggests that the man has more power over you and that he is a higher rank, which suggests why he is dressed up in a smart suit. The medium shot from down the corridor is effective because it shows how far away he is from the camera which means he needs to travel further to reach his target.
