Specific camera shots/angles

 In total today I will be discussing four camera angles. POV, Close up, Cowboy, and Medium Close up.

POV shot was used in the beginning when we had the POV of not the character, but the scene was not of the character's POV. It was the mirror's POV. This was used because we had to ensure that the audience could clearly feel the frustration coming out of Irenes through the direct look of her face. The next type of shot that was used was the Medium close-up, which was used during the ending scene of the film. When the voices in Irenes's head got higher and higher. Or in this case, louder and louder it got worse for as time went on. When the voice eventually started to feel real enough that last time, Irene turned her head to fully look at the thing that killed her for the first time in a year. By using a medium closeup, we clearly see her emotions and fright by the monster she has been hunting for. 

A cowboy shot was utilized as Irene was heading towards her class. Only around below the hip and above was seen. The intention for this was that even in a crowd and in a camera, Irene is not important. She doe not mean anything to the camera, so she gets no full shot, and she means nothing to her peers who cannot see her. So ergo, they ignore her. This is the last type of shot to be discussed in a close-up. Now this close-up is different because it is only doing a close up on an object. By showing these objects it shows that Irene's once moral things that meant so much are no longer what she can use. They are individually in a close up to give the audience context to what she is looking at and what she is acknowledging she no longer has the capability of using.
