Camera Framing Shots.

Close up - This shot allows the audience to see the facial expressions and how the characters in the shot are feeling. in this shot the joker doesnt look bothered.


Extreme Close up - This shot allows us to empathise and identify with the character as the shot zooms into a certain aspect to show emotions or a key part of the scene. in this shot the camera is extremely closely zoomed into the eye.


Medium Shot - A medium shot is used in particular to accentuate the body language of the character. As well as this it enables a comfortable, emotionally neutral shot. it is used for dialogue sequences, and they allow the viewer to pick up on the character's movements and gestures. In this image, we are able to see the characters body language, as well as their facial expressions. 


Long Shot - Long shot shows the reader the setting and the characters body language which can illustrate the key information to the reader. We can see what they are wearing, how they are standing and what they are holding and see the scene they are in.


Extreme Long Shot - An extreme long shot contains a large amount of landscape. It is often used at the beginning of a scene or a film to establish general location (setting). This is also known as an establishing shot. This extreme long shot shows a location which means that perhaps it is something significant in the storyline.


High Angle Shot - High angles make the object photographed seem  smaller, and less significant. The object or character often gets swallowed up by their setting - they become part of a wider picture.


Low Angle Shot - Low angles help give a sense of confusion to a viewer, it creates an enigma code. In this shot, we can see that the protagonist looks powerful, and we can see his posture and his facial expressions which seem neutral.
