Camera Angles - Mise en Scene


Waterloo Road - Shot and Reverse
These two shots are called 'shot and reverse shots'. This shows us both of the characters side of the conversation and shows us both of their emotions and feelings. This gives us the effect of a character looking at another character. This is usually used when their is a conversation between two people so we get to see how they both are reacting. 
From the above pictures we can clearly see what both characters are feeling. We can see that obviously the woman is feeling and showing much more upset emotion than the man as she is crying.

Establishing Shots
These two shots are called an establishing shot. This shot establishes to setting of the scene and gives you the idea of where they are. From the first shot we can clearly tell that this is set somewhere in India or Asia. Similarly, we can tell that the second shot is set in Egypt, because we know that pyramids are in Egypt. 

This is a very popular and well known establishing shot that is used at the start of every episode of 'Eastenders'. This is a birds eye view of the River Thames and is just s reminder that it is set in London, hence the name of the show 'Eastenders'.
