Camera Action Analysis

A wide shot is used to set the opening scene, then pans to the right to show action.
A medium long shot is used to capture clothes on the characters to give the audience an idea of their lifestyle, which in this case their clothes are very bland and casual. The medium long shot also shows body language and helps to express emotions.
A close up is used when the young girl is in the car, this is used to show confused look on her face. It captures her talking to herself to show she is anxious.
Another wide shot is used to show a new locaiton.
A mis shot is used to show the headmaster and the clothes he is wearing which it typical of a head master. This helps the audience form a description of the headmaster.
The camera tilts up and down to show different reactions the character shows. This also connotes the idea that the camera is tilting due to the hight and ages of the characters which relates to the scene.
A composistion shot is also used to show a mother-daughter bond.
A wide shot it used to show a new location again. It is also used to show the detailed wooden walls of a large room, which connotes wealth.
During an argument, over the shoulder shot it used, this is so the audience can put themself into the characters position and feel as though they are possibly recieveing the argument.
A montarage is used to show time has passed and it's later in the day.
After the drama that unfolded about the girls age, the camera tilts down onto her bed to showing child like magazines and a card with young writting on it, then pans to the right to show even more childish items, e.g. teddy. It then zooms in from seeing her get ready infront of the mirror to a photograph of her family. This suggests that she no longer has the happy memory and that she is going to retaliate.
A tilt it used to show the audience that the child has left from a window, not a door, to show exaggeration to her exit, which could possibly have a danger element to it.
