The usual suspects opening sequence:
- the close up of the man (victim) is used to show his expression and emotion to let the viewer know how he is feeling and give them an idea about the situation
- the floor shot when the villain is pouring a liquid on the flame gives the impression that he is superior to the victim, as does the lower shot of the victims face compared to the higher shot of the villains body
- the final dropping of the cigarette is filmed in slow motion and a close up of the villians hand so that the viewer is fully aware of how the final fire starts
- the different shots which follow the fire are used to take the viewer on a journey around the room so that they can focus on the fire and the things (e.g. Dead bodies) and so they can see them clearly
Lesson 2
Establishing shot: sets up the scene,often at beginning of the movie
Close up: tightly frames a person or object to show detail or emotion
Medium shot: shot to show a whole body and movement
Long shot: entire figure or object
Tracking shot: follows action at a constant distance
Aerial shot: shows whole image from high position (birds eye view)
Dolly shot: placed on a dolly and moved at a constant rate, doesn't always follow action
Handheld shot: show subjects perspective or feeling
Zoom shot: zooms in to isolate or zooms out
Swish pan: moves camera from one thing to another very quickly
High angles: above the object to show power
Reverse angle: switches between two things often In conversation
Low angle shot: shot from knees up
Are shot: moves around object in circular motion to show image from different angles
Match shot: show two different shots as if they are joint together
Point of view: view scene through characters eyes
Head on shot: when action comes straight to the camera
Rule of thirds
