techniques
point of view shots
camera adopts the position of a character within the film
this can 'over-the-shoulder' looking at whatever the character is looking at or a shot from the point-of-view character
useful?
puts viewer in position of character. when they experience strong emotions the viewer is more likely ti feel it when taking that person's point of view
reactions shot
camera moves to an extreme close-up of a characters face to show their reaction to something that's happened.
insert shots
gives the viewer extra or priviledge info that one or more characters may not know
like a split screen, with two characters into two different places
shot reverse shot
camera alternates between two characters to show their building relationship
normally when they're talking face to face
very common in drama where the relationship between characters is very important
camera acts as a third 'character'
