 CAMERA SHOTS:

1).                                                                                    

This two shot clearly shows an older woman beside a younger, possibly teenage, boy while they talk on a video call on a computer/television. This suggests that they may be related as mother and son, however, the video call with multiple people may suggest that they're trying to figure something out as a group.

2).                                                                                                                                                                  

This medium close-up shot shows the young woman's facial expressions as she converses on this video call, in what I assume is her room. Her expression is that of slight confusion and mild fear at what a different woman is relaying during this call, suggesting that she either can't fully comprehend what is being said, or feels afraid of what may be happening.

3).                                                                                                                                                                        

This over-the-shoulder shot shows an older woman who was relaying certain information on this call. This shot isn't like the typical medium close-up shot that is pieced together with an over-the-shoulder shot as it is taken from a long distance away, suggesting that someone, or something, may be watching this character and listening into this conversation.

CAMERA ANGLES:                                                                                                                                        

1).                                                                                                                                                                        

This low-angle shot, looking up at the woman, creates a feeling of anticipation and bravery as the character appears to have a role in the mission. The angle makes the character seem important and powerful, encouraging the audience to trust the character and become more engaged with their actions. This leaves the viewers in anticipation, questioning what may happen next and whether the mission will be successful.

MISE-EN-SCENE:                                                                                                                                           

1).                                                                                                                                                                        

The passport immediately creates the feeling of proof and secrecy, linking to later scenes during the preparation of a secret mission. By holding the passport up to the camera, it draws the audience's attention to its significance in the narrative. The passport creates a link to international travel and official documentation. This encourages the audience to understand that this character may be preparing to a journey or operating under a hidden identity for the mission Theis creates curiosity about what will happen next.
