Examination of the Camera Shots

Over the shoulder shot/Medium shot:
Looking from behind a person at the subject. Used in this case because there might be a conversation between the people or show the characters point of view. 

A new year 7 student approaches a bully. He thinks that he knows the bully so he decides to greet him. He pulls out a 'spud' to acknowledge him.

Over the shoulder:
Slightly closer than the first pic but still over the shoulder. However now it is not a medium shot as you can't see the waist of the people speaking. This is still used for communication or show the characters point of view.

Slightly intimidated by his so called 'friend', he regrets the decision to approach him. His hand is grabbed so he cannot escape.

Medium close up shot:
The medium shot shows the action taken place between the two characters. You can see the setting that is happening clearly as well as the characters's expressions.

The bully goes in for the punch that could injure the young person. The bully clearly has something that irritates him about young students starting off high school. 


Medium shot:

This shot is capture the emotions shown by the character's body position and how significant the event was.It is normally used to help the viewer understand the situation.

Clearly hurt by the impact, the year 7 boy clutches on tho his face. He is starting to realise what a big mistake it was trying to speak with the bully. The bully is clearly pleased with his work.

High Angle:

This angle is to show how weak the person is. High-angle shots can make the subject seem vulnerable or powerless when applied with the correct mood, setting, and effects.

The year 7 boy 'passes out' for a minute by the impact of the collision. The expression on his face indicates that he is unemotional and simply 'flat'.

Long shot:

A long shot (sometimes referred to as a wide shot) typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings.

The bully is now being told to leave the kid alone or he might be in serious trouble. At first the bully wasn't scared but when he looked at the kid, he realised that he was wrong.

Establishing Shot:

An establishing shot is usually the first shot of a new scene, designed to show the audience where the action is taking place. It is usually a very wide shot. The shot shows the school entrance to the block.

The bully is sent on his way towards his next class knowing that he should 'fix up' his behaviour.
