Reseacrh and Planning: Camera Angles (Cont.)

A Birds Eye Angle: Although a hard angle to use, its an angle we will consider in this trailer as it helps establish the setting, by looking down on the overall location. This angle will therefore help us emphasise the location of "Urban Britain" which a convention of all social realist films. This shot is usually used at the beginning of the trailer and we be a good asset to the trailer and a shaping our underlying message. This shot in relation to our film will help get across the urban side to Britain that not many see or know much about, it also strengthens the impact the audience gets when they realise the tough and brutal conditions people face in day-to-day life.

Dutch Angle: An angle commonly used to show a characters emotion, focusing on confusion. This could be a good angle to use in relation a social realist trailer as it can be used as character reaction to the drugs and what they do to you, known as the side effects. This can be held longer for effect, and its a shot that has potential to entice the audience into becoming more involved in the story and its events.

Eye Level Angle: This an angle that draws the audience level with the character and is another angle that is commonly used in social realist films and trailers. It could be used in our trailer at the start to show normality and represent the atmosphere, how calm and peaceful it is, which is how we intend to start our trailer. This is a good angle to help the audience understand relationships between characters as they feel level with the characters and can easily position themselves in the environment of the characters on the screen.
