This is an opening scene from "Midnight in Paris" which is a fantasy/romance film.
It consists of many establishing and long shots which is expected seeing as it is set in Paris and it has lots of artistic looking buildings. Throughout the opening there is quite a lot of high angles which is probably so the audience can see all the attractions from a better point of view. The whole opening has very high key lighting as well which makes the introduction more natural and real.

Some of the audience may tell from the opening that it is a romantic film because it is set in Paris which is the "city of love" and they made the whole mood at the start feel happy and relaxing. The opening sequence may also make people think that the main character is gonna be a normal person because most of the people that they start of with are just standard and not to over dressed or under dressed so this will give the audience the idea that the main characters may just be ordinary people.

This is a TV still from the American drama series "The 100" which is a sci-fi series. In this still we can see that it is a medium long shot seeing as we cannot see their whole body however this may have been done deliberately so we could see enough of their costume and how ruined their clothes are which implies they have been through a struggle nut we can also see their facial expressions close enough to notice that they
seem to be worried and they must have a problem.
It seems to be a low angle to some extent which emphasises that the have some type of power or that they are a force together because they are being looked up to by the camera. This shows the audience that even though they seem to be afraid of something they still have strength.

This is a still image from Harry Potter. In this still image we can see that it is a medium close up shot which is good for capturing the emotions on the actors faces. The audience will able to tell that Harry Potter is concerned about something and the woman next also seems to be worried.
From this image we would probably think that there is a evil character (villain) that has to be defeated and they seem to be having problems getting rid of him/her.       

This still image is from Titanic which is a romance disaster film. The image is a medium shot which lets the audience see from the waist up which seems to be the most significant features in this picture. The audience can clearly see the love between the two main characters because the shot is close enough for us to see the face expressions. We can see the Rose (the female character) is clearly enjoying her time seeing as she has a smile on her face and Jack (the male character) seems to be taking in her beauty because the way he is watching her seems to be as if he is quite lost in her attractiveness.


This is a long shot from the film 'The Purge' which is a action/horror film. From this picture we can tell that it is an frightening movie because we can see that the character has a mask on which obviously means we are not allowed to see his
