Close Up
A Close up is used in movies and TV shows to show the emotion used in a persons face. In this picture the person is looking down confused as he is reading something of a piece of paper. It shows that he is
not a serious character which helps to identify the movie is a comedy genre.
Extreme Close Up
This extreme close up helps us to identify how this character is feeling about what he is about to do. As you can see his eyes are very widely open which suggest he is shocked or scared. Extreme close ups helps to exaggerate
a characters emotions.
Medium Shot
A medium shot helps to show the costume of a character. In the picture it is obvious that this movie is a comedy because of the way the main characters are standing and dressed, it shows they are not serious people
and everyone is dressed in bright colours which gives away that the movie is a fun movie.
Long Shot
This long shot gives us some information on the type of location and a full screening of everyone's body language. By the way they are dressed we can see the characters are
dorkey looking which helps us to know this is a comedy genre.
Extreme Long Shot
This extreme long shot shows us the environment around the character and gives us an idea of where they are. As we can see this is an car park with the main character in the car park alone.

movement in which the camera moves left and right about a central axis. This is a swivelling movement, either mounted in a fixed location on a tripod or shoulder.
