Dramatic angles, panning, tilting to look over large objects/buildings, fast or slow zoom to draw attention to certain aspects of scene, tilted horizon, dramatic and extreme angles.
To analyze the way in which shots were set up in movie productions I watched Inception. This film uses a lot of interesting angles and shooting techniques that are discussed in this reading to enhance the experience of the film itself and the understanding of the occurrences on screen. The most primary aspect of the film is the architecture, which is conveyed in a variety of forms throughout the film but starts out with the basic understanding of it in the shapes of buildings and cities. To initially disrupt the conditioned understanding of architecture the director creates dramatic and extreme angles while tilting and panning over the setting as the buildings/cities bend, shift, move and grow in various directions. As the narrative becomes more dramatic, so do the filming techniques; certain scenes are zoomed in on in different manners to draw attention to certain aspects within the frame, a tilted horizon is used in multiple scenes to further disrupt the idea of gravity and the normal layout of a landscape, tilting is also commonly used to disrupt this idea as well and create an overwhelming awareness of the architecture and its sheer size in relation to the viewer.
