CAMERA WOK ANALYSIS: WATERLOO ROAD!!

FIRST SCREENING!

What is the atmosphere of the sequence, how does it make you feel and who do you identify with, if anyone?

At the beginning of the episode the beginning was very dramatic when he fired the gun at the vase making the audience want to watch more and feel very tense at the same time, knowing that something bad could happen. After Maxine had been shot, characters started to get upset which made the audience feel sympathetic towards the characters. Also at the end of the clip, where her mother is crying, it makes the audience feel sad but angry at the boy who shot her.

THIRD SCREENING!

Take one area of focus and answer how and why the camera work is used to make us feel this way?  We chose camera angle.

-Distance:

When the camera is at a long shot, for example when the boy is jumping over the fences to run away, it makes us as the audience feel like we should be running after him to stop him. Also it makes us feel like he didnt hae any intention of shooting maxine, or he did, he just regreted it afterwards. The long shot was a good camera choice for this event however I would have personally used a tracking shot but with the full intention of the camera looking like it is running with him (camera in hand)
