EXTREME CLOSE-UP:

Extreme close-ups are very useful A hyper-close close-up allows you to isolate and focus on particular details within the scenes of a film, revealing new ideas and emotions to the audience. However, since it is such an uneasy shot, it can sometimes break the film’s realness.

ESTABLISHING SHOT:

Establishes the geography, time of day, location and more. This gives a large amount of information to the audience using one shot. Establishing shots are essential as it helps guide the viewers and the story smoothly.

CLOSE UP:

Close-ups are commonly used in the film. This is because it shows the audience the emotion on the character’s face and gives the viewers a greater perspective into the character’s thoughts.

Diegetic 

The Grand Budapest Hotel 

The use of this ECU directs the audiences attention towards Agatha and highlights Zeros love for her whilst also exploring the heavenly confusion of young love. Alternately, it could suggest that Agatha is a permanent fixation in Zeros mind and that his world revolves around her leaving the audience in a sense of awe for the couple.  

Intra-diegetic 

Blair witch project 

The Blair Witch project is shot to give the illusion it’s “recovered footage” this propels the audience into the story and creates a sense of realism, enhancing the horror aspect. It also leaves the audience uncertain and horrified to whether the footage is real. 

Extra-diegetic 

Amelie 

Amelie breaks the fourth wall multiple times in the film and directs her attention towards the audience leading them to feel as if they have been engrossed into her world all whilst being charmed by her and developing a connection. 

Enola Holmes

Enola Holmes 1 & 2 also break the fourth wall taking a more extra-diegetic approach, this effective device keeps the story in motion while also adding necessary insight/description and peeks into her independent mindset.
