Point of view shot

This is used when the woman was aiming for a shot with a sniper rifle.

The connotations of a point of view shot is that shows the audience what the character is looking at from a first-person perspective This is most often established with a shot of a character looking at something, followed by a shot showing the character's reaction. This shot is aimed at the main character to show suspense as they are hoping that James Bond must not be shot.

Over the shoulder shot

This is used when it shows both the train and the woman.

The connotations of an over the shoulder shot is where the camera is facing one character from a position that is just behind another character.

This shot over the woman's shoulder as it is an alternate angle of her looking into the target.





Close up shot

This shot is used to show how focused the character looks. This also makes this scene intense as this character looks ready to shoot the enemy. It tightly frames an actor's face, making their reaction the main focus in the frame.


Worm's eye view

This shot is when the camera is looking up at James Bond when he fell in the river.

Worms eye view photography is a point of view in photography where the image is captured from a very low angle with camera pointing towards the top.

They used that shot to show that James is sinking and shows the audience some emotion that they think he's died (Spoiler alert: he doesn't)

Extreme close up shot

This zooms in on James Bond's face.

The extreme close up shot is generally used to allow the viewer to enter the character's personal space, revealing traits and emotions that might otherwise go unnoticed. The frame is so tight that using an extreme close up shot gives the viewer no choice but to experience the character's feelings alongside them.
