District 9 camera angles and shots.

Establishing shot it shows a long road in south africa with the giant space ship looming in the murky sky you can see the deserted streets and the slums all around.

Medium shot this shot shows a robot alien from the waste up moving across a road.

Handheld shot, close up shot, zoom shot, in this scene we can see that the camera is a bit shaky showing that it has been filmed using a handheld it was filmed from the shoulders upward showing it was a close up it then zoomed in on the face to show his emotions.

Tracking shot this shows how someone has kept at a constant distance but is still filming a moving helicopter it also follows a couple of soldiers running toward a robot .

Arc shot to show the soldiers and the robot at the same time it circles them both capturing the action between them.

Swish pan shows the soldiers shooting then the robot getting hit by the bullets.

Zoom shot, hand held shot he zooms in on the aliens face but as they want the footage too look like its been taken secretly they have made him film with a hand held.  

handheld, tracking,match shot, in this the handheld is shaky it also uses the tracking shot to track dry looking landscape of south africa also there is a few shots where theres a police man going to raid but then theres an interview with a police officer that flows straight in.

  1. I'm impressed Sabira, you have successfully identified a number of the shots used in this short film and analysed their effect. You have a really good eye for this; remember to think about the effects you want to achieve when you start to select the shots you will use in your film. Well done!
