Examples used are from 'The Shining' and 'The Dark Knight Rises'. A close up and extreme close up are shots which the camera focuses on a particular detail of the person, usually of their face to show an important moment in a film and the characters facial expressions in high detail. Extreme close ups are very intimate and are best used sparingly. This unnaturally close view intensifies feelings that the character is experiencing and allows us to establish a connection with the character. Every subtle expression, facial movement and detail becomes much clearer. This then emphasises the dramatic importance of the scene.Long shot and Extreme long shot:
Examples used are from 'Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone' and 'The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers'. An extreme long shot or long shot can be taken usually from a high angle and from at least a mile away to establish a scene-setting picture. These will usually happen at the beginnings or ends of scenes, for example showing the beginning of a battle like in The Two Towers and also at the end showing the destruction caused.
