The cinematography used many close ups to convey the facial expressions and intense emotions of the characters. This was mainly used to capture fear and terror. The wide shots present the audience with a feeling of mystery and may be intrigued to know what happens next. The rapid pans and movement of the camera suggest the audience is in heavy danger and may also lead to the audience feeling nervous. 

2) How does the camerawork give the audience clues about the setting, narrative and character?
The rapid camerawork convey that is going to be action sequence to the audience and the setting is in a frightening area. This may also present the characters to be quite brave and thrillseeking.
Find and analyse one film or TV still image. Add the image to your blogpost. 

The explosions in the background add style and a element of heroism to it. This will heavily appeal to the audience since in their eyes they see a powerful character. He is positioned like that to show that he is ready to conquer and defeat evil. 

3) Analyse the camera shot/angle in the image and what it communicates to the audience. Remember to highlight the media terminology you use.

The full shot of our main protagonist illustrates that he is a very important character and is centered perfectly in the middle of the frame. The explosions are purposely placed into the shot to add aesthetic and a refreshing side of Spiderman.
