and then this is my paragraph on camera angles.
Merlin - Camera Angles
The camera
angles in the Merlin clip are significant by showing his class and status in
the establishing shot where we are introduced to the setting from inside which
connotes there wealthy and luxurious life style that they must be living,
however we are then introduced to the first character by a tracking shot of him
walking in this what looks like some sort of palace or mansion, although he is
seen as a massive outcast to the rest of the men and ladies in this shot, due
to his choice of clothing. When he
enters a room, when then see the characters face in a close up of him looking
around checking to see if anyone has seen him enter the room which signifies
that he shouldn’t be there. We are then introduced to the second character
which is a female dressed in a purple gown and jewels, she signifies royalty by
the colour of her gown and the jewels also signify wealth. A shot that I found
really interesting was when we see the female through the mirror and she is
seen as an older ugly looking women but seconds after we see her in a medium
shot looking like her normal self which made me more intrigued to find out more
about this women and why her identity changed in that mirror. Over the shoulder
shots were used a fair amount in this clip especially when Merlin was talking
to the group of ‘royals’, I found this significant because we got to see a
close up of the characters facial expressions emphasising the nastiness in this
scene. As well as this over the shoulder shot and tracking shots was also seen
in the fight scene to show the action that was happening making the audience
feel a part f the scene. As the fight continued we see an extreme close up of
Merlins eyes that turn green when he is using his power to move objects in
front of the enemy causing him to fall.
