Image

Camerawork:

    -One camera shot in doctor who is medium close up . A medium close up is from your head to your shoulders and it affects the audience by picking up gestures and facial expressions while maintaining a sense of the background .   - The second camera shot is close up . A close is just the actors faces . It affects the audience by giving the audience a more detailed and intimate look at something might otherwise miss . It makes a serious scene .  - The third camera shot is a establishing shot which is just a shot of the background or where the movie or series is set . it affects the audience by being introduced to new scenes ad the tell the viewer when and where the action is happening .  one angle is over the shoulder and it effects the audience by giving them to see what the actor is looking at . 

stranger things

    Actor placement There were 4 boys dressed casually and placed as the main characters. One of  the boys rationally went to a forbidden place. The director made us think the boy was being chased by some creature.  Setting  The film first started at an elevator which set the scene as a man moving in the elevator. It was a horrifying scene as a creature snatched the character . And later when the little boy enters the dimly lit streets which gave the setting of familiar and eerie .The streetlights flicker, casting long shadows creating an unsettling atmosphere.  Costume Within the first scene of 'Stranger Things', I observed that  the clothing choice was in style of the 1980's and research informed me that this show was set in the era of 1983 . The choice of lighting throughout this chapter was fairly dark because the scene was set at night.
