Jane Eyre - Camera Shots and Angles

Camera Angles

Techniques: distance and angles.
 

All these angels insinuate to the audience different things. For example ‘High’ angel tells the audience that, the person is weak and timid. However if it’s a low angel that tells the audience that the person has power and is strong 
From learning this I will be able to add it into my own work and this will help me get across what type of  character they are and will make my piece effective.


Jane Eyre.


The director starts off by using a long shot of a girl. This tells the audience that she is the female protagonist and it gives us a sense of isolation. A panning effect is used to show us how isolated she is. We then see Jane from a high angel that tells the audience that she is weak. However at 2.15 we see that Jane is still in the shot and is at eye level with the boy which implies he isn’t that strong or important. We then see the boy on the floor from a high angel at 2.28 which therefore making him look weak.
