Camera Shots

Camera shots

In Class we discuss the different camera shots there were. Different camera shots are; extreme close up, big close up, close up, medium close up, media shot, medium long shot, long shot, establishing shot, high angle shot. low angle shot, birds eye view, dutch angle, eye level shot and reverse angle. 

We then watched this clip from Superman Returns film from 2006 and had to identify what angle shot were used. The clip used high angle shot, this was at the beginning where the man was looking up the stairs this was to show fear at what he was looking at. There was also a big close up of Superman when the bullet hits his eye and it bounced back off his eye, this was to create tension. Also there was close up shot of a man looking over a gun about to shot at the police, this shows he is the baddie and it make the audience feel like he is looking at them as if they were in the film. Another close up shot is when the man shoots superman in the eye and it bounced back it shows the emotion in his face wondering what he should do now.
