Cinematography: blog analysis tasks

1) Write an analysis of the cinematography in the opening sequence.

Types of shots used: 

• CLOSE UP   
• MID SHOT
• OTS
• 2 PERSON SHOT

Types of movements:

• PAN

2) How does the camerawork give the audience clues about the setting, narrative and character?

The camerawork establishes the comedy genre by revealing the contrasting personalities of the characters through the interactions and the 2PS and OTS, which highlights the funny interactive moments.

3) Analyse the camera shot/angle in the image and what it communicates to the audience. Remember to highlight the media terminology you use.

The MS highlights the violence in the scene, communicating to the audience that the red haired woman is in some kind of threat and perhaps she did something to provoke the other which seems to be some kind of threat to the audience. This in turn reveals themes of violence and power which are prominent in this series.
