In our Media Studies lesson today, we learnt about how different camera shots and movements can be seen as codes which have significant meanings to their audience.
For example, we watched a clip from the TV drama 'Grafters' Series Two and analysed the ways in which camera shots are used to empythase which characters and show different emotions and feelings. There was a 'close up' off one character which then cut to a 'two shot' off two other characters, this creats an act of opposition and shows the audience that there is obvouis tension between characters.
In the first few seconds of the TV clip, we see a conversation between two men walking up the road towards a flat and a tracking shot is used. This creates the idea of movement and intimacy with the audience as we feel like we are walking with them. The use of the 'Two Shot' draws the reader closer into the lives of the characters on screen and also gives the audience a sense of understanding.
Also in the TV drama 'Grafters,' we see that a reaction shot has been used in one paticular scene. This shot creates sudden impact of the event and the audience then realise what's really going on with the characters lives and the plot.
