Kashmire Hawker

Close Up

This picture is of a

Close Up; close

ups always show

the main part of a

person/object

which gives detail

of what it is & what

it’s doing. In this

case, it’s of Jess’s

mum Sarah, about

to wake up in

hospital following

the car crash that

killed her daughter.

CutawayThis is a Cutaway shot which

is showing something else

that’s within the scene but not

focusing on the main

object/person. This case is of

the heart monitor that Sarah

was attached on during her

time in hospital. It’s also a

Close Up as the detail of the

monitor can clearly be seen.

Medium

This is a Medium Shot that

does show the whole

person/object whilst some

impression of it is shown.

This shows Sarah being

stopped by her friend Beth

just before being told that

Jess had sadly been killed

in the accident.

Medium Close Up

This is a Medium Close

Up shot. Just like a

close up, it shows

detail of the

person/object but this

time in less detail and

further away. This shot

is also high angled.

Point of ViewThis is a Point of View

shot which shows the

person/object from a

different position. This

shows Sarah running to try

& find Jess within the main

part of the hospital.

Steady Camera

This is a Steady Camera

shot which is taken whiles

the person/object is on the

move. This shows Sarah

running to try & find Jess

within the real Hospital.

Trombone

This is a Trombone shot

which is done via tracks

that are used within

many film productions. It

shows the camera

zooming into the

person/object while’s

the camera operator

physically zooms out.

This shows Sarah’s

world falling apart with

the look of her face

suggesting bad news

about Jess.

Wide

This is a Wide Shot

as the shot takes up

the full frame. This

shows Sarah looking

very worried &

disorientated at the

prospect of Jess

being killed in the

crash.
