exploring the use of camera angles

In today's lesson we looked at camera angles. different camera angles are used to reflect different situations,moods,feelings etc.

I will be exploring the use of different camera angles in this scene of  'Casino Royale'

• to emphasis the scale of the scene they used a longshot. This is so that the viewers are more aware of the circumstances that the characters are in.
• to give an apposing view from the other character they used a reverse angle. this offers the viewer a chance to see through someone else's eyes.
• they then use a medium close up, this helps us see the characters emotion in response to the sitiuation
• during the explosions they use a birds eye view. this reflects the explosions in a more dramatic way than, for example, an eye level shot.
