camera shot type analysis

This shot is feminine as it shows the female in control, even though the male is on top, their facia; expressions show she is more comfortable and in control

The shot is masculine as the male looks dominant as the female is looking up to him, but the composition shows the men in balaclavas are on the females side.

I believe that this shot is masculine as the camera is angled at a low angle and the women looks very dominant,

The shot is a masculine shot although it shows a female holding the gun, the female is being the masculine character and showing dominance.

This shot is a feminine shot as it shows the character being dominated, the character is submissive as he is shot from a high angle making him look inferior 

This is a feminine shot as it shows megan fox in all her glory, its seductive and promiscuous, although she is on a motorbike which is very masculine, the cameras main focus is the females body.

This is a very masculine shot as it shows a male being the leader and shows male dominance,  the composition shows a variety of males and females following the one 'alpha' male, his facial expressions show dominance.

This is a feminine shot as its shot form a high angle making the female look submissive, the shot shows the female being scared, the camera has her in the focus but the light in form above making her look underneath another person, the light is also quite soft making it more feminine.

This is a masculine shot as it shows the male being powerful as he is the main focus, the lighting is coming form direct towards his face, the light is quite harsh light making it more masculine.

The video above shows a feminine shot as it is a smooth tracking shot, smooth representing the elegance and femininity, the shot is also high angle which also shows the shot is feminine.


The shot above shows a masculine shot as its rough and reckless movement and being rough is very stereotypically masculine

Skins trailer camera analysis

Skins Series 3 extended trailer analysis

Skins series 3 extended trailer

The camera is moving erratically, it is out of control, portraying the people its filming as the teenagers are out of control and erratic.

Their is a dramatic contrast between the camera movements between the adults and teenagers, when the camera is on the adults, the camera becomes slow, and steady, when it is on the teens its erratic and distorted.

The camera goes slightly blurred at points to take on the effect of being drunk.

The trailer is reinforcing teenagers, and shows that the teens have the power, it also portrays a negative image upon the teens themsleves.
