Framing/Shot Distance



 Close up - This shot is taken at a close range and focused on a certain subject which takes up most of the frame. A close up of a person will show the emotion in their face and what their feeling at the time. In this shot you can see the emotion in which this character is feeling, the water in her eyes is very significant as it shows the audience the upset and even fear. The make up on the character is very detailed as its done perfectly which shows this character may be a love interest and very girlie.




(Liam Neeson) Extreme close up - This is a shot that is used in film, photography or television. It shows great detail  and can also show the emotion coming from the subject. This shot from the film 'The Grey' is used to show the audience the determination in the characters eyes but also the fear of what he;s about to face. It also shows the detail in the cut on his face and the frost, this is giving us the impression that he's been through dark times and had to be aggressive.


(Reese Witherspoon) Medium/close up shot - This is between a mid shot and a close up. It shows the actresses face without being too close and intimate but at the same time shows an action they may be doing. In this shot you can see the fear in her eyes, it also shows her talking on the phone which could imply that she may be talking to a dangerous/threatening character. The background is what seems to be the characters house with the fear on her face imply s to me that she is alone in her house.





(Spiderman)Medium shot - This shot shows mostly upper half of the character and also shows a good detailed background which shows the audience what is going on. This shot shows us what the character is going through and what state he is in, although you cannot see his face this shot shows his actions with his arms which shows he is in some sort of distress and who is causing this, this is very significant.






Long shot - in this shot the subject is still the focus/target in the frame. It also shows us what is around the subject and still shows the body language so we can see what the character is feeling but not in much detail which leaves the audience wondering.
