- What camera angles and shots are used when Wendy is reading the type writer?
The camera angles and shots are as follows we first have a medium close-up shot of Wendy walking towards the typewriter, then we have a low angle shot of her looking at the typewriter then a POV shot of her looking through the writing upon the typewriter.
2. How do the make us feel?
-Medium close-up shot: This shot makes us feel as if there is nothing out of the ordinary as if it is just a woman walking into the room looking at a type writer.
-Low angle shot: This shot makes the viewer feel that the woman is superior however this is juxtaposed where the woman is very fearful of what is written on the type writer and is in-fact inferior and scared of the writing of what Jack wrote.
-POV shot: This shot makes the viewer feel the fear that Wendy is feeling of what the type writer is constantly repeating of the phrase 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy' which strikes fear into the heart of Wendy because they have been there for weeks and all he has done is repeat the phrase over and over again for hundreds of hundreds of pages.
3. Where does the zoom-in take place, and what is its effect?
The zoom-in takes place as she moves away from the type writer and looks more towards the finished pile of paper as she looks down at them. The zoom-in is used to emphasise upon the writing and the amount of times he has wrote it over and over and over again. The effect on the viewer is to try and worry them as to why Jack has been writing it so many times and to maybe worry them about Wendy's safety incase Jack has gone insane. the zoom in shows that at first she was just looking at a stack of paper and there is nothing to it and as it zooms in we see that her worries are confirmed and Jack is in-fact crazy. Also we see some of the desk before the zoom in which shows that she is still aware of the world around her and as she zooms in we see that she is oblivious to everything around her which allows jack to enter the room unnoticed.
4. What camera shots are used as jack moves into the room?
The camera shots used as jack enters are as follows we look over Jacks shoulder to swatch Wendy read through his work then we have a medium shot
- An over the shoulder shot
- A medium shot
5. How do they make us feel?
-Over the shoulder shot: This makes the viewer feel that Wendy is in danger and the baseball bat may have to be used against her own husband's insanity is now out of control and we become worried that Wendy may get attacked from behind without her even knowing it because of how silently Jack entered the scene. This shot makes the viewer fear for Wendy because someone has been quietly watching her look through Jack's 'work' and has gingerly creeped over to watch her silently and to scare her by suddenly speaking to her and make her scream.
-Medium shot: This makes the reader feel fearful that jack may do something to his wife as he talks he slowly walks over to the type writer harmlessly asking her what she is doing down here however the way he asks her is an extremely worrying tone of voice as if, if she was to say the wrong thing he would attack her.
Literacy point Alex- Don't forget your use of capital letters for the first letter of people's names.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really well detailed piece of work with some very good references to technical terms and the appropriate general use of terminology. Make sure that at all times you are trying to establish the effect of the techniques, it's important to do this rather than to explain what you can see- remember that everything that happens in a scene is designed to create an effect.
