Camerawork and editing analysis

1) Pick three camera shots from the scene and explain what type of shot it is and what meanings or effect they have on the audience.

Close up shots - Shows the facial expression of the character - Audience can see how they are feeling
Medium shots/two person shots - Shows a wider angle and multiple perspectives - Audience gains a larger view and understanding of the scene
Over the shoulder shots - Shows more of the scene - Audience can develop their knowledge of currently occurring events in the scene

2) Pick one camera angle that is used in the scene and explain the effect it has on the audience.

The close up shots show the anxious expression of the characters as they try and contact the doctor. The audience feels as if they are in the middle of the action 

3) Pick one aspect of camera movement in the clip. Identify the type of camera movement and write about why the director chose to use that camera movement in the scene and what effect it has on the audience.

The dolly closes in on people's faces, further amplifying their uncertainty and anxiety. The audience learns that this task is very demanding on the characters.

4) Pick one aspect of editing in the clip and write about what it tells the audience.

The cuts are slow at the beginning to build uncertainty and tension, then when the main part of the scene occurs the cuts speed up to intensify action. This tells the audience that the characters are in a state of emergency and panic.
