Four Film Stills

In this image, taken from Bad Boys 2, a medium shot is used even though we can see the characters fascial expression in great detail. The shot is very effective as we can see both what the character is wearing and holding, also his expression. As a result the audience has an insight as to what the character is feeling and how this relates to what he is wearing.

Lord Of War

The image extracted from Lord Of War, consists of a long shot as we can see the character and his whole surroundings. The main subject in this image is the character, as we can clearly see him and his expressions. Behind the character we can see burnt down cars and bullet shells, which signifies what the film will be about and what sort of action will included.
Some backlight was featured to create a shadow on one side of the characters face.

Toy story

This image taken from Toy Story, again is a long shot as we can see the two characters in their whole surrounding and environment. This is effective as the audience has an insight as to what the setting is going to be like. This type of shot is frequently used in comedies and PG films.

La Haine

The still image which shows a character using a hand gesture, to suggest he is holding a gun, is a medium shot. This is because we can see some of the characters surroundings and the top half of his body. From this we can see what the character is thinking and the nature of him, as a person holding a gun is seen to be quiet bad and cold hearted. No colour is used in this image, which gives an old, grimy and evil look. From this more effect is added as it coincides with the character.
