Choose three out of your list and produce a brief analysis by using the TEA formula.

• Pan- this is used to look from one side of the scene to the other in one movement. this was used when the men were shopping. by using a pan movement makes the audience get a better understanding of the surroundings within the scene.
• Two Shot this is used for two characters in the same shot, there could be a relationship between these two characters. for example: a two shot was used with the two men in the Cafe as they were talking over the table to each other.
• Over head shot is used when the camera is  positioned above the character, action or object being filmed. this takes place a couple of times, one example would be when 'eli' falls down the stairs. We see the camera is positioned above him.
