Shot Types used:
Aerial Shot- this is an overhead position which is an establishing shot. For Example in the car park you see everything that is happening. This gives the viewers a clear illustration of what is happening in the frame.
Angles used:
High Angle- this is used on the more vunerable characters e.g when Maxine was dying.
Low Angle- this is used on the more dominant characters to show power e.g Male character.

Distance, having the camera close up to the character makes the audience feel like they are in the room with them and feel more involved, which makes them feel the feelings and emotions of all the characters in the room.
Angle, the high angles makes you feel empathy. The boy had all the low angle shots because it portrays dominance. When the female character (Maxine) is dying there was high shots to show she was vulnerable.
