Documenting on Influences of Production:

When filming our film we used a wide range of camera shots really show the expressions of each character.
The first camera shot that we used quite a lot was low angle shots on every character but mainly the villain and hero. This is because we wanted to show how they stand out from the others and at that moment in time they were in complete control.
We also used the odd one or two over the shoulder shots. This worked really well for our film as we could see facial expressions clearly when characters were close together and could see reactions from long distance. An example of the is when Ed (the dealer) asks Ryan (the villia) to come back after they have exchanged in the deal. we can see Ed's expressions which angry and annoyed where as Ryan's expressions are quite worried.
Another camera angle that we used was a high angle shot which is the opposite to a low angle. We used this angle when one of the characters was in a bad situation. An example of this is when Ryan has been struck to the floor by Ed the dealer. This shows that he has become unpowerful and an easy target and as he is the villian, the audience feel happy and comftable about the situation.
