 1) Pick three camera shots from the Doctor Who scene, take a screenshot and explain what type of shot it is and what meanings or effect they have on the audience

Over The shoulder shot:

It allows us the see from the actor point of view and what they would be seeing while seeing it , It also attracting the viewers attention to a detail , it also allows us to see many other point of views from the multiple actors in the scene.

Medium Close Up:

The medium close up shot allows us to see the actor from just above the waist to their head. The effect off this shot is the viewer being able to see how the character feels - reading their facial expressions and it also creates a sense of intimacy by drawing the audience in.

Two shot:

A two shot is a shot with two people in a frame/scene together. The effects off a two shot could be showing a relationship between the characters in the scene or building a connection between the two characters in the scene.

2) Pick one camera angle that is used in the scene, take a screenshot and explain the effect it has on the audience

High angle:

The effect of the high angle shot on the audience are showing more off the surrounding - seeing the situation the actor is in , suggests somebody is watching the actor , show tension before something bad happens , making a powerful character seem small.

3) Pick one aspect of mise-en-scene from the scene, take a screenshot and explain what connotations are being communicated to the audience.

Setting and Location:

The setting communicates that this a place off endless possibility and refuge. It feels powerful yet gentle - a contrast to the threat outside in The Stolen Earth. When the scene shows the Tardis in this way, it emphasises that even in a universe-ending crisis there is still hop and humanity at the centre.
