Camera Angles Assignment

The task for this assignment was to watch a movie of your choice and note scenes that use camera shots/angles that add effect to the scene or story. The movie I used was The Platform by Carlos Juárez. I chose to review the camera angles in this movie because of the emotion this movie sets with certain angles and scenes. I was a fan of this movie because of the story behind the hidden messages.

In this scene, the main character is hallucinating the deceased people around him, trying to send him messages to eat their bodies so he can survive.

In this scene, the main character is being held hostage with a camera view of high angle/shot which gives off a sense/felling of hopelessness. He was held hostage to be sacrificed and for the other man in the room to feast.

In this scene, the man in the room with the main character is shown to be eating food rapidly as if he has a limited time which he does before the food moves to the next platform. This scene gives off a feeling of blessing to not have to experience a feeling gives off a feeling of blessing to not have to experience the sense of not being able to enjoy a meal. The widening of the angle shows all the food that is available to be eaten but some of the food is already half eaten

At around 1 and a half minutes into the movie, the main character seems like he is waking up from a long-needed sleep, him looking at the camera gives a sense of being lost and confused.
