There is lots of Camera movement throughout the sequence, signifying the busy and constantly moving state of New York where the movie is set. There are a lot of medium shots of the main character too, encouraging us to identify with her. The pans of the buildings also give the audience setting, connoting glassy, effective and rich surroundings.There is constant moving, even when indoors, meaning the area she's entered is fast pace and work filled. The only point where they pause from movement is a shot reverse shot of them talking, drawing a line between the mindset of the two characters.
3) Find and analyse three film or TV stills. Embed the images in your blog and analyse the camera shot/angle and what they communicate to the audience.
The Grand Budapest Hotel
The medium shot encourages us to relate to the characters, whilst the dead-on camera angle is very stylistic of Wes Anderson. The shot is very centred. Additionally, the blue/pink colour scheme of the characters and the combination of the blue ribbons and pink parcels possibly means they complete each other.
Death Becomes Her
This is also a medium close up with a dead-on angle. This could possibly symbolise the horror of what's just happened, giving the audience a good clear look at how ruined she is by the pond and stomach hole, giving an unsettling and eerie atmosphere.
The Shining
This combines an over the shoulder shot and a long shot with uncanny symmetry. The corridors are elongated by this, sort of distorting the actual distance between the twins and Danny.
