Camera work

This image on the left would be considered a long-shot but done from a low angle. It would give and effect of belittling because taking a photo from below could make the subject of the photograph taller and in some way makes us the audience feel that the subject is in control.


This on the right is another example of a long-shot, however it would be more considered to be a medium-long shot. This angle of shot, is shown to represent a story, or show the setting from a distance for the audience to understand the atmosphere and plot.

This is a close-up which reveals head to shoulders to focus on the subject in the photograph. Usually there is nothing visible behing in order to reveal the point of view of the audience to witness the action and emotion of the caharcter.

This would be called a low-angle shot which conveys agian, a belittling to the audience. This subject is in control and also can make the audience feel that this is the protagonist. If it were a film, this would be called a tilt-shot, which is a way to represent something, for example: a person from head to toe.

This is a crane-shot. Just by the the name, we can understand that it has something to do with height. A camera is mounted onto a crane. It can be moved up and down and side to side in order to make a dramatic effect.

Horror Film Poster

The only effect that this poster is supposed to make you feel is mainly fear.
With the face of Leaya Hatzakis in the eye, the audiene is supposed to feel like they are this person and feel as if they were living in it.
By only showing the eye, this can give an effect of mystery because you cannot see the rest of the face, but by doing this, it is obvious to the audience that this is the enemy.
The title and subtitle are supposed to make the audience pay attention to the poster. For example, in the eye, we can see a face but the subtitle catches the audiences curiosity because it is faded in.
We can also see the extra images have been added and faded in, in order to give the audience a sort of prewiew of the movie.
