Long shot.




This shot is used to introduce character, what their surroundings are (in this case a messy bedroom...) and you get a view of the whole character top to bottom, so you can really establish their appearance, aswell as their general emotions, body language and position.

Two Person Shot.





This shot incorporates two people, showing relationships, friendship, if the main character has a companion, and often how strong said main character is, if they require a sidekick in every shot or not.

They are very common in Rom-Coms and films where the story usually follows two people, as opposed to a film about a castaway or something...

Low Angled Shot.






This shot is used to show superiority, as apposed to the last one. It's looking up on someone, showing power and dominance, as opposed to showing submission.

Basically, it makes the character look important. It is used allot in superhero movies, where the main character is doing a dramatic pose in which he is about save the day.

High Angled Shot.




This shot is used to show inferiority, the camera looking down on the character to make them look weaker and smaller.

In film, this can be used to show the victim, or the scene from somone elses viewpoint, someone that's not on camera.

Medium Shot.





A medium shot is used to establish the main character, show his emotions, his body language, introduce the audience to his appearance. These shots are usually taken from the waist upwards to get a full view of the characters upper body and facial features.

Over The Shoulder Shot.





An over the shoulder shot is used to show conversation between characters, that they are interacting with one an other. It also shows a certain character's viewpoint, aswell as what they are doing at the time.

They are useful in dramatic scenes where the audience are supposed to view the whole conversation, and the person's reactions to what they are being told/shown.

Ringo Starr's ideology





Ringo is like marmite, you either love him or hate him, and the public tend to have strong opinions on his skill as a musician, and whether or not he was an asset to 'The Beatles'. Ringo is very dedicated to his work, and wants to spread 'Peace and Love' throughout his music
