This photo from the film “Juno” is an example of a low shot.
This allows the audience to see what is going on in the bottom half of the
scene. It is a good establishing shot so the audience can get an understanding
of the surrounding. For independent film it’s a great way of showing the
realistic surrounding of the place like it does here with an empty box and an
old chair on the street.
This is a worm eye view that is used as an establishing shot
to allow the audience to further understand the setting and surrounding of the
film. It could represent how the town is close knit and well connected. It also
shows how the place isn’t perfect and how this could possibly be reflected in
the story with the focus on the tangle of wires. Like the low angle shot this
is allowing the audience to see what is above and below their level of eyesight.
This is an establishing long shot used in the introduction
of the film and allows the target audience, which are teenagers, relate to the
protagonist. She isn’t doing anything out of the ordinary and appears to be
walking past a park. This allows the audience to gain a clearer understanding
on how normal the town is that the movie is set in.
This is a low angle, wide shot which allows the audience to
see the protagonist as a whole. As the title text comes up ‘Juno’, this is
fitting as the actor is playing Juno and she is the central focus in this shot.
The character is wearing normal clothes and seems to not care much about her
appearance. This could reflect the characters personality later on in the film.
This is a medium close-up shot that shows the character
opening what appears to be a pint of milk before she drinks it. This reminds me
that is important to vary camera angles and shots in order to make the film
more interesting.
Over the shoulder mid shot is used within this scene and
since the opening is the protagonists journey to the shop this is fitting as it
allows the audience to feels as though they are going to the shop with her.
The use of a medium close up for this shot allows the
audience to have a clear view of the characters facial expression. She seems to
be carefree much like a stereotypical teenager, which is the target audience.
Due to the fact that the text on the screen being the actresses name it creates
a clear focus on the person so the audience match the two together.
A birds-eye view is used for this shot and shows how within independent films you are able to experiment with your camera shots. It shows the character from a completely different angle and allows the text to be seen on the pavement.
