Wuthering Heights- Analysis (timeline analysis)

Wuthering Heights- different shots/angles
Fading- this can give the effect of time passing and connect different shots together; giving a dreamy affect

Extreme close up- this shot only shows part of a face/body/object. These are used to create a more personal approach towards that person or object. It may also show the audience that the person or object has a key objective / important.

Close up- these are of some one’s head and shoulders. This shot is used to show the emotions of the character.

Establishing Shot- this is a shot that establishes a scene, showing the audience what the surrounding area looks like. This allows the audience to be aware of the surroundings and to become ‘more of the film’.

POV shot- this stands for Point Of View and is used to show a view from the characters perspective (what they are seeing in front of them). This helps the audience engage more with what is happening in the film.

Canted framing- this is an angle that makes the shot appear to be tilted/ not straight, this gives the effect of disorientation and allows the director to influence the audiences emotions.

Two shot- shows a shot of two characters who are in convocation, this is used to signify some sought of relationship between those two people.

Credits- this is the information of the people/ cast who are part or take part in the film. This can also be used to break up different shots.

Medium shot- a shot that shows the person from the waist up. This can be used to introduce a new character or the show the audience how they dress, which indirectly is telling them about the characters personality.

Reaction shot- this shot shows the characters’ reaction to another character or within an event that is taking place. This allows the audience to get a closer relationship with the character, which allows that characters emotions to be felt easier.

Track- this is a movement that follows the subject/ object. Usually it’s a shot that shows smooth movements, within this film it also shows a shakier and unsteady approach when following the characters. This allows the audience to engage more in the film and feel more absorbed within it.

Over the shoulder- this shot shows the camera positioned from behind a person and overlooking their shoulder (peering over their shoulder), this gives a more personal approach to the situation happening between the characters and the audience.

Shot-reverse-shot- a shot that switches between the two characters who are conversing with each other, this is used to allow the audience to perceive the situation happening from both sides.

Flashback- a scene where the audience is shown an event that happened earlier in the film or in the characters history. These odd shots add together to create more detail towards the characters personal past.
