The image above is a shot from the very beginning of a movie called, "Bird Box." I would consider this picture to be a medium close up or two shot, because the camera makes us feel like we are right outside of the windshield, allowing us to see the emotion of both actresses faces. Like I mentioned above this picture was taken at the very beginning of the movie so this indicated to the viewers that one or both of these ladies will be one of the main characters. Also is foreshadows that something bad is about to happen due to the look on their faces.
This picture above is from the exact same scene as the first picture I posted. I chose this picture because the meaning behind this picture is what this whole movie is based on. This is a close up shot that shows tears falling from this ladies eyes. If you have ever seen the movie you know that she doesn't have these tears due to fear, anger, or depression, she has these tears coming down her face because she looked at "It." At this point in the movie no one knows what "It" is yet and it is decimating the population. This is a mysterious force that will force people to wear something over their eyes anytime they are outside in order to survive.
I really love this picture from the movie because this is an intense scene. This photo is of the same lady from the first picture (main character), with two kids. This shows that a lot has occurred during the movie in her life, because she did not have two kids at the beginning of the movie, nor was she pregnant but now she has two kids, a girl and a boy. I think I would consider this picture to have a medium shot from a slight high ground which gives the picture a sense of levels starting from the girl in the woman arms then going down as it reaches the boy behind them. This is one of my favorite scenes in the movie because it shows determination, bravery, and courage from all three in this shot.
This is a high-angle long shot that occurs basically at the end of the movie. This scene is nail bitting because if you've seen the movie before, at this point they have been through so much and have overcame adversity, but you can just feel that there is going to be one more incident that occurs to stop them from getting to a safe location. If you've seen the movie before, I think this photo can essentially show how strong these three characters are and how much they love and care for one another.
