                                                                         In this Blog

I will look at 5 different clips of movies and analyze the camera shots/angles and how they portray characters.

In this clip from Spider-Man Into the Spider Verse, Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy are seen sitting on a upside down part of a building. This clip demonstrates the use of a two shot showing the two characters and their seemingly close relationship as they sit close together. Its also taken at an eye level angle.

This clip of Despicable Me 2 portrays Gru entering a cupcake shot and being surprised by Lucy. This scene while at first uses mostly single shots to portray Gru and Lucy it eventually switches to using a OTS shot when Gru and Lucy start a conversation.

This scene from Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs shows characters looking up towards something in the sky showing use of a close up shot at a high angle as the characters all look up at the clouds portraying the characters as small compared to the force they are looking up at.

This clip from Home shows the alien Oh and Tip in their soda powered vehicle as Oh fights his urge to dance. This clip also shows use of two shot in the second half of the clip as well as a single at the beginning, this serves to not only show the relationship between Oh and Tip but shows them getting closer.

This final clip of Mr.Peabody and Sherman shows the upbringing story of Mr. Peabody. In this clip the single shot is used a lot to help portray Mr.Peabody to help keep viewers focused on him, his upbringing, and how he got to where he is now.
