Camera Angles- Trailer

Les Miserables (Trailer)





Establishing Shot

This shot has been used to give the viewer some idea that where it is that the character is travelling. It establishes where the scene is set and gives some idea to the story line; for example the character is travelling up hills to get away from his past. He is travellimg upwards as if to signify that he is moving on. 



High angled shot

This high angled shot has been used to look down on the workers and the amount there are. As you can see from this image there is an excessive amount of ladies and it shows you the conditions that they had to work in; being quite packed together. 



Low angled shot

Here the low angled shot is used so it is as if you yourself are looking up to God, just like the character. It also shows importance to not just the statue but also the character, the level of the character and the fact that he is higher up than us shows both the importance of the character and the dominance. 



Mid Shot

This mid shot is used to give an idea of the surrounding scene but to focus more on this particular character. The background detail is minimal as it is focusing more on the character. However, it can also be argued that this shot is a wide shot as the subject is taking up most of the frame, this would be used to introduce this character and give us an idea on how he moves, his posture,etc. 



Extreme close up

This extreme close up has been used to highlight the expression that the character is showing, it goes into extreme detail. The fact that the character is crying shows how intimate the shot actually is and it takes us into the mind of the character. It makes the audience feel pathos while watching this character.
