This shot shows a Mid shot being used, from a side angle, it shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject. It also adds a variety of shots to make it a more interesting opening scene. There is also a ‘Handheld’ editing technique used, which is when the camera is not that steady, despite holding the camera in a fixed position. This can relate to the audience theory called “The power elite –C Wright Mills (1956), as it creates a feeling of ‘Escapism’ for the audience as they are taken back to “1974”.

There is also text included in this part of the scene, to make the audience aware of the era and time this was around.

In this shot there is an ‘Arc’ and ‘Boom’ editing technique used, to give an overview of the scene. This technique is used to put emphasis on ‘cereal’ in this particular part of the scene. We cannot see the character’s face, which perhaps foreshadows a reason for why the face cannot be revealed at this present moment in the scene. This also makes the audience anxious to watch further to find out the story/plot. Another way to describe the positioning of the camera would be ‘High Angle’, this is a high angle that shows the subject from above, i.e. the camera is angled down towards the subject. This has the effect of diminishing the subject, making them appear less powerful, less significant or even submissive, which can also perhaps again foreshadow or can be used to give a hint to the audience of what the storyline/plot is about or it could also help the audience to predict what will happen further on in the story/plot. This can relate to the audience theory called “The power elite –C Wright Mills (1956), as it makes the audience anxious and eager to find out the ‘IDENTITY’ of this person, and who this child is. It makes the audience impatient yet keen to find out who this character/protagonist is.
