Monarch of the Glen - Camera angles and shots

1. The beginning of the clip shows the use of a wide shot to introduce the audience to the area and the people living/working there. The characters in shot are all older and are shown to be hard working and collaborative. The wide shot helps to express this by including many of them in the shot, showing that they are working as a team.




2. When we are introduced to the young female character, the camera tracks her and seems to pivot around the boy, this perhaps suggests she is important to him. As he is looking away, but still the camera tracks her form his position, it shows he may not be confident enough to speak to her but still pays her a lot of attention.



3. In this next screenshot, the camera is angled so as to show the girl quite trapped in the car, with various things covering her from the camera. This perhaps suggests that she feels quite trapped and nervous. 


4. This low angle shot shows the man to be powerful in the conversation and be quite intimidating for the girl.

  1. 1. Excellent comment about the use of the wide shot to show teamwork.
    3. Good interpretation of the entrapment of the girl in the car - mirroring her situation perhaps?
    4. Good clip choice to highlight camera angles. You could give more depth here though.
