Task 1: Three camera shots

1. Close-up — (Martha)

  • The close-up focuses on Martha’s facial expression, allowing the audience to see her concern and tension. You can also see how nervous she looks.

  • Her wide eyes create a sense of urgency, making the audience feel involved in the scene.

2. Close-up —  (older woman)

  • The close-up draws attention to the woman’s serious expression and wide eyes, creating suspense.

  • The shadows across her face make her appear mysterious and encourage the audience to question what she knows.

3. Long shot — (man in the control room)

  • The long shot shows the man’s full body and the surrounding machinery, establishing the technological setting.

  • The complex equipment suggests the organisation is dealing with an important situation. It look like something sciencey cause there’s a lot of lab stuff.

Task 2: Camera angle

Low angle — (man saluting in the screen) 

  • The low angle makes the man appear powerful and authoritative.

  • His salute reinforces ideas of duty, respect and discipline, encouraging the audience to see him as an important figure.

Task 3: Mise-en-scène

Props and setting — (computer control room)

  • The computer screens, maps and technical equipment connote advanced technology, intelligence and surveillance.

  • The dim lighting creates a serious atmosphere and suggests potential danger.

  • These elements present the organisation as powerful and prepared to respond to threats.
