Shot Types...



Close-up: This allows the audience to see the characters facial expression. Also, as it is a close up on the villain, it creates tension and an anticipation because it makes the see how  the antagonist is feeling because of we are able to see his facial expression.

 

Extreme close-up: This extreme close up really shows the fear in the characters expression. This is as we, the audience, can see that the character's pupil has dilated. This implicates fear in the character. This also an action code because it shows the audience that something is going to happen right there and then.


Medium shot: This medium shot is used here to show the reaction of the character as medium shots are mainly used for dialogue. So the medium show is used to show what the character is going to say or do. Also, as the audience is able to see that he is surrounded by men, its could generate a sense of tension as he seems vulnerable.  


Long shot: The long shot used in this still image allows the reader to see the whereabouts of the protagonist. As he seems to be walking down a deserted road, it shows how lonely this character is. Also, this generates enigma codes because the audience wonder where is he going or maybe even where did he come from.  


Point-of-view shot: The point of view shot of this character being held at gun point really creates an atmosphere of tension and unease. This is because we, the audience, are transported to the view of the character which also allows us to create some sort of identification with the character. 


High angle shot: The uses of the high angle shot gives the reader a sense of authority. As the character is seeming to look up, it seems that the audience is in charge of that character. 


Low angle shot: The long angle shot used here make the character seem more menacing and have more dominance. Also, as the character seen is very muscular, it really presents him as a character with authority.
