Monarch of the Glen-Shots
The dolly shot, which is when the camera shows only a small amount of smooth movement, emphasizes and helps the audience appericate the tools of labour and assists in helping the representation and difference of age. At the beginning, when the girl steps out of the house the shot taken is called a pan shot, which means it it pivots to the left and right. There is also a medium-long shot of the girl to help the audience establish the location in which the scene is taking place. As the girl gets into the car the shot that is used is a close-up shot, integrated with a dolly-shot to underline the girls uneasiness and again, represenation of age. The shot-size of the headmaster is a medium-long shot to show the conflict of age through the way he is dressed as well as the wy he presents himself, hence the use of the medium-long shot. When the two men enter the room to talk privately about the girl the camera is bought to eye level to make the two men look larger than life, giving them a sense of power and authority. The mise en scene, which is the surroundings of the adult room, the way the men are dressed and the old style of the room, integrated with the use of the eye level camera shots, helps create and even greater representation of age power. The eye-level is that of the girls, helping the audience to feel how she feels, scared and somewhat intimidated. Towards the end, when the men are shown working again, there are a series of quick camera shots, to assist in portraying the men to be good and hardworking at the work that is set out. There is a tilt shot, which is when the camera pivots up and down; this tilt shot takes place from when the men are working at the end to the girl's room. As we get enter the girl's room there is a slow-zoom of the photograph to portray and highlight the girl's sad and scared, as well as many other emotions. Towards the end when the old lady runs up to the man to tell him that the girl has run away, the camera returns back to his eye-level, because now it is his turn to feel all the emotions of guilt, scare for the girl's safety, etc.
