Fast and the furious  7 

these are the producers on the film 

Neal H. Moritz Vin Diesel Michael Fottrell when they were filming the movie they wanted it to be a movie about them stealing cars but also being bad guys they used close up medium shot, long shots and etc for close up the ending scene was Paul Walker and Vin Diesel lineup and the camera shows Paul walkers expressions. Medium shot when they are coming out the plane it shows everything around them and the cars.

School is boring for people.

Adverb start 
Curiously, everyone thinks that the boy did it but really the girl had done it

Sexxxy Analysis


Analysis 1:
How a close-up shot is used in fast in the furious close up is ideas when an actor is giving an expression or its just two people talking face to face. this makes us feel what they are feeling and it sets the mood example in fast 7 the rock knowen as hob and shaw has there fight is close up to show what is happening This aspect can be compared to a long shot because they both have different meanings for different scenes.


Analysis 2:
In Jumanji its shown in all senses when the kids play the board game it shows what they feel and what's happening and it shows what's around them it makes us feel like we are one of the players playing since we're experiencing what's happening.



Analysis 3:
litmus pill scene
This is a short film of the clip when this guy has a pill and then walk through some stairs its close up when he's walking up the and then it goes to a medium close up to show who he's talking to while he's talking to the girl he's doing voice over explaining what's happening while the girl is talking.


Analysis 4:
Litmus side effects
the start of the video it shows that he is highly intoxicated while standing on a rock you can tell he is because he's swerving side to side and he's saying words when he gits the water you can tell he's in trouble since he's just laying there.

My SEXXXY Analysis


Analysis 1:
How a close-up shot is used well in ghost chips. For example, when he is thinking of all the stuff that could happen after George dies. This makes us understand all the possibilities that could happen if George die. The purpose of this is to not let your friends or family drive drunk. Combined with the close-ups and the point of thought shot. Shows the effects of drunk driving. This aspect can be compared to a long shot because they both have different meanings for different scenes.


Analysis 2:
In Spoof meth mid-close-ups are used effectively to show the person speaking and showing the product. For example you see this within the first few seconds of the video, when he is introducing the product (E Meth). This makes the audience think that the E meth is better for you since it’s liquid. The director did this to encourage people to buy it since it’s supposedly healthier. The mid-close-up and the way the actors speak are used to sell the product better. This reminds me of some joker movie posters where you can see joker’s shoulders and his head.
