The camera can show us the different environments and the emotions the characters feel from their point of view which quickly shows us the reactions from other characters ensuring we see the narrative clues we need to see in order to put the story together.
The camera uses different types of shots and movements to show this to us for example;
1. A close up- a close up is used so we only focus on one thing in the frame.
2.An extreme close up -used so the audience can focus on all the small details and can give the audience a sense of discomfort.
3.Long shot- used so the audience can see the whole environment and the characters body drawing the attention to the characters body language costume and props in the scene.
4.Point of view-when we see exactly what the character can see putting the audience in a subjective position.
5.Mid shot- used so we can `focus on the dialogue between two characters.
6.Birds eye view- seeing the action from below making the audience feel God like and making them feel like the characters is part of a wider scheme of events.
7.Low angle shot- the camera is placed below the character and is looking up making them look powerful
8. high angle shot- the camera looking down on a character making them look weak and vulnerable.
9.over the shoulder shot- looking from behind the person at a subject
10.stedi-cam a camera mounted on a harness making the shot smooth
11. pan- a movement that scans the room
