Camera shots- Fast and Furious 6 scene

Continuing on from my previous post on camera shots, I have analysed a scene from 'Fast and Furious 6' to demonstrate camera shots in films. I have found lots of different camera shots during the scene and have recognised the meanings and purposes of them. 

  1. At the very start of the scene, there is a quick establishing shot. This is used to allow the audience to understand the setting.
  2. After that, there are lots of reverse angle shots, showing what the people are seeing in the scene, and reinforces the speed of the cars. 
  3. Close ups are used on peoples faces to show emotion and feelings and used on actions to show intensity of the chase such as gear changes or exhausts.
  4. Eye Level shots are used to draw the audience in and make it feel real for them- as if they are there.
  5. Big close ups are used on props from intensity such as cables tightening to trap the tank.
  6. Reverse angle shots on the tank flipping. This shows destruction and action.
  7. Medium long shots/ long shots are also used to show the vast destrucion and acion packed setting.
  8. High and Low angle shots are used to show the vast scale of destruction. 
  9. A birds eye few or aerial shot is used also to show the intensity of destruction by showing the height of the blast. 
  10. Another establishing shot is used to show the audience the setting in destruction. 
  11. Eye level shots are used again to make the audience feel as if the action is coming towards them.
