Kerosene Creek NZ Short Film

In the short film kerosene creek, the director effectively used low angle shots. For example, the director used low angle shots during the scenes when they overlook the caskets. This helped me see the characters emotions and their point of view when feeling sad as they lost their friend. This was one way the director showed emotion during the film. The director did this to show emotion between the characters and to show that everyone shows emotion differently. This worked well the scenes when they lash back to the fun they had before their friends past away and giving the audience a better understanding of how well they knew each other. This reminds me of the scene when they were at the creek and having fun it shows different types of emotion when in different scenarios.

Limitless Film Trailer

In the limitless trailer, they used close up shots continuously. For example, the director used close up shots in the scene where the man hands over the drug to the writer. This helped me see that the writer was contemplating taking the drug to help him with his book. It shows that feeling of hesitation and that he wasn't worried about the effects he could have on the drug this is a way the director showed hesitation in the trailer. The director used this to show fear of taking the drugs without knowing the effects it could have. It also shows that everyone makes choices without thinking. This worked well with showing motion of the characters and making the audience get a better understanding.
