Cinematography

Key camera framing techniques 


This close up image helps the audience to identify clearly the characters facial expression which gives more insight on what is happening in that situation. This specific image communicates to the audience that the character at that specific moment in time is experiencing an intense feeling as he glares behind him. 

This image is an example of an extreme close up. It conveys to the audience the feeling of horror or anxiousness as the characters eyes portray that sort of feeling. The extreme close up helps show this by concentrating on the characters facial expression, mostly on his eye area. 
This medium shot enables the audience to see only the characters facial expressions as well as the top half of their body language. It emphasizes the hand gestures that the character is using which conveys what situation is going on. 


This long shot displays the characters whole body as well as the environment that they are in. This image communicates to the audience a sense of isolationism as the character is alone walking in a poorly lit hallway. 
In this extreme long shot image, it is exaggerating the vast amount of people at the scenery. It shows the audience how big of an event it is as the people are seen as small but in a great amount due to the extremity of the long shot. 
The high angle is used here to make the little girl appear smaller than usual. This significantly suggests to the audience that the girl is helpless and weak due to the size the camera angle has made he look. 
In this low angle image, the character who seems to be standing over the other character has been made to look large and powerful due to the camera angle. Due to this and the lighting it communicates to the audience that he might be the antagonist of the film as he is made to look scary and daring.
