Cinematography: Camera Framing

THE EQUALISER: Action/Drama 
Camera Framing: Medium Shot
Effect Given: Using a medium shot instead of a close up shot of each of the actors (which is more common) gives more of an effect in this scene. It shows us the reactions, facial expression and body language in the characters in real time which gives the audience the effect of realism.
Angle: Eye Level

THE GODFATHER: Drama/Action
 Camera Framing: Close Up
Effect Given: Using a close up on this shot really emphasises the facial expressions and fine acting skills of Al Pacino whereas using a shot which would be further away, such as a medium shot or long shot wouldn't give the audience that sense of close proximity or visuals to even tell he's the lead character or to show the detail of his acting.
Angle: Eye Level

THE CONJURING: Horror/Thriller
 Camera Framing: Long Shot with a Low Angle.
Effect Given: The effect of using a long shot really gives a large scale factor and a more interesting look to the viewers eyes compared to zooming in to the house for close proximity. If we were to use a medium or close up shot for the house we wouldn't feel as creeped out or scared of it compared to the long shot. The long shot shows more of the setting and how alone the house is. Also the long shot fits well with the tree and rope hanging down which creates a story and use of context in the scene (mise en scene)
Angle: Low Angle

INCEPTION: Drama-Action-Mystery

Camera Framing: Big Close Up
Effect Given: the effect of a big close up shows the use of fine acting and drama in Leonardo DiCaprio. The effect of the BCU shows the detail in his eyes (which is the focal point) and creates a high effect of drama and mystery as the audience would want to know what he is looking at.
Angle: Low Angle
