We tried to use:

Angle – high, low canted x 3, aerial

Distance – ECU, MS, LS, ELS x 3

Composition – rule of thirds, lead space and depth of field x 3

The main three Shot that are in the spread sheet above:

Two shot , which is two people and mostly with one foreground with one person looking away from the camera and the other slightly out of focus which adds enigmatic or mysterious feel to the picture.

Aswell as the the two shot we also used the extreme and regular close ups which allows the person looking at the image read the emotion and venerability of the image and make us imagine what is happing in the foreground.
