Camera work blog tasks

Image
1) Pick three camera shots from the Doctor Who scene, take a screenshot and explain what type of shot it is and what meanings or effect they have on the audience.  Medium close up gives the audience a view of the character and their surroundings . High angle shot appears to make actors smaller in scale . Big closeup creates intensity especially when they look into an object   2) Pick one camera angle that is used in the scene, take a screenshot and explain the effect it has on the audience.  Medium close up makes the audience look closer and observe little details surrounding the scenes  3) Pick one aspect of mise-en-scene from the scene, take a screenshot and explain what connotations are being communicated to the audience.   there is something anonymous above him and it builds suspense  for the audience wondering what it looked like or what it was .
