Textual Analysis On Inception (Camera Shots)

The cinematography is started instantly by a extreme close up camera shot, combined with the use of an extreme low key dark lighting to show what is deemed to be the main character. This shot has been instantly used to show the facial expression of the actor. The facial expression instantly implies to the audience that the actor is in a sense of fear as he looks like he is in danger. The camera is then turned and is focused on the actor undoing the safe through the use of another extreme close up shot. This shot has a sense of importance as it could be a vital point throughout the film. After this we instantly see the actor taking a brown envelope out of the safe but he quickly changes it with a identical brown envelope. The use of the envelope portrays that whatever is inside of it is going to play a key part within the film. Another key shot that is used is a jump shot. The jump shot was being used between both characters to show multiple perspectives to the audience. This overall give a judgement from both characters, mainly through there facial expressions.
