Camera Shot Analysis

Close Up / Reaction Shot

This image is from the film Hot Fuzz it shows a close up of the two main characters. You know this is a close up because you cant see much background and it's very easy to see the facial expressions in the characters making it a reaction shot as well. It dennotes the characters both looking at the same thing with the same facial expression. There are also many connotations that you can get from looking at this picture for example they could be looking at something very confusing making them looked shocked or puzzled.

Point Of Veiw Shot

This shot is a good example of a point of veiw shot because through looking at the image you feel as if you are a character within the film because the camera shows what a character in the film would see if they were where the camera was. This is very useful in films as it helps you relate to the characters as well as understand it easier.

Long Shot

This camera shot dennotes the characters walking. You can tell that this camera shot is a long shot because you can see both the entire bodies as well as a lot of the background image. The characters appear to be life size as the camera isn't positioned above them to make them look smaller or below them to make them look bigger.
