Camera Angle/Movement Highlights

Zoom:

Right at the start of our video, we zoom into the prison. This acts as our establishing shot as we can see the interior of the prison. The zoom also leads the audience into the narrative. The zoom is what takes the viewer deeper into the prison and shows them to the prisoner. The zoom works nicely with the theme of a prison as it makes the hall seem longer than it actually is, this combined with the emptiness of the hall creates a sense of isolation.

High Angle Shot:

This high angle portrays the character as weak and powerless - something that is important as this is his weakest moment if the whole video. The positioning of the camera also gives the impression of a camera, perched high and watching the bear. 

Movement around the singer:

On a few occasions, the camera moves around Sam/with Sam. This is more immersive as it is more interesting to watch than a still tripod shot. By using these shots, it clearly shows sam is the main singer as there are a range of close ups and the camera "orbits" around him. 

Canted Movement:

This type of camera movement is well suited to the Indie Alternative genre. This is because the camera is tilting, as if it is unstable. This somewhat represents the alternative indie genre as it is an unusual shot. It gives the impression that the world is twisting at turning, and can't be steadied. 

Fast Pan:

This pan is very immersive as it can be perceived as someone looking/ turning to watch the fight. This will draw in the audience as it will make them feel as if they are watching the fight happen first hand, and they are turning to see the bear's reaction. 

Shift Focus:

This shot if very interesting, it shifts focus from the bear onto the lion. This gives the impression that the focus is on her, she has been found out and all attention is on her, she is the one in the wrong. The creeping of the camera also gives the impression of someone peering over at the lion, as if they have just seen what is on the phone as is looking over to her to see her reaction. This again immerses the audience as the movement follows a realistic reaction of an overseer if they were watching the argument. 

P.O.V Camera Shake:

This shot is interesting as it puts the viewer in the lions position. This is effective as it enhances the intensity of the scene. The audience would be able to experience the fear the lion is feeling, and would sympathise for her and perhaps change their previous views. 

Falling Camera/Out of focus:
This shot, like the previous picture, puts the audience in the lions position as she fall for the ground. This is effective as it shows the pain she has endured as she is about to hit the ground. This further enhances how the audience feels for her. This should also turn the audience against the bear, viewing him as an abuser.
