Camera Angles/ Shots:

In this particular post I will be sharing and discussing a range of photos displaying various camera shots and why they are specifically effective on an audience:

Point of View:

 Point of view is when the camera conjures the odd illusion of having the audience see the world through the perspective of a certain character. Generally the camera would be seen through eye level, as seen above, so as the audience can fully get to grips with how that character really sees the world.

Over the Shoulder:

Over the shoulder shot is when the camera is set quite close from behind the shoulder. This is normally used in a conversation, especially for it creates a sense of dominance for one character and the other inferior ( for one looks figure looks bigger and taller than the other).

Weather Shot:

The whether is used in this angle shot so as to capture the mood and setting of the specific scene being shot. This shot also helps to connote a sense of feeling a pathetic fallacy; for example the shot above consists of calm happiness for the bright primary colours, where as if this shot was taken in the middle of an autumn night it might be dark and wet connoting a sense of evilness and misery

Close up and Extreme Close Up:

A close up is used to illuminate to the audience of an important scene that is often used to create a sense of danger or tent ion. A close up is used to help mark the moment of that particular act of the scene.

An extreme close up is the same, only that the camera is in a far more deeper focus to further exemplify the situation. For example the extreme focus could illustrate to the audience of just how troubled I am as I am torn between the deduction of cutting the blue or the red wire when dismal tiling a bomb:

US and UK Film Comparison: Intro:

It was with a great deal of hard work, hours on the internet, revising, revising the page some more, and having dully realised the reality that I had been reading the same sentence over and over again- but finally the day is here. The day that I share to you, dear reader, the two films that will be close to my heart for the remainder of the year as I scavenge all the information on these two films so as in the hope to aid me in my A-Level Media Studies.

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you my international film...

The Family:





Followed by the British:

Diana:






I am very pleased with the two films I have chosen. As you can see I have selected these films in particular for not only are they very different from one another, but they are also likely to gain the same amount of success as well as popularity. Arguably there will be many comparisons as well as differences.
I will now keep you regularly updated on the 'course' of these two films and how the will voyage from production, all the way up to the release of both films.
