Camera Angles in a Movie

Camera Angles      

  My chosen movie was the Next Friday. This movie is based on its "Friday" sequence and resumes based on the previous film. This film is resumed based on how the main character id now facing his bully which came out of jail. The first few minutes of the movie shows angles of the two prisoners leaving jail and creating an emphasis on the danger they are able to cause. Many close ups are shot of them as they come up for the next steps and plan. Wide shots were widely used the first 9 minutes of the main character escaping. This made the viewer more interested or intrigued into the plot and what the next step is. After that to get the character familiar with the atmosphere the director uses extreme wide shots to show "Craig" or the main character's new home. Followed up by an angle that is the eye level shot, and this is when your subject is at eye-level. An eye level shot can result in a neutral perspective and is used here to show his unlces cool belonging. These shots help the viewer understand the plot of a streetwise man fleeing South Central Los Angeles, heading to the suburbs and his lottery-winner uncle and cousin, to avoid a neighborhood thug with a grudge who has just escaped from prison.
