Seven Pounds
- At the beginning, we get an establishing shot of Tim Thomas sitting in his living room. The establishing shot comes at the beginning of the clip, in order for the audience to get an immediate and clear sense of setting. Using cultural codes, it is clear that Tom is sitting in his living room.
- When Tim Thomas is talking to Ezra Turner on the phone, by cutting back and forth between shots of Tim and Ezra. This makes the viewer realize that the 2 locations are supposed to be separate but parallel and there is no spatial discontinuity
- We get the master shots of each character in their location and the shots cut between the master shots of Ezra and Tim on the phone, and then more specific shots, of their facial expressions and the computer Ezra is typing on. The master shot shows where everything is relation to eachother, in all the shots, to help make the story make logical sense.
- When Ezra Turner is typing on his computer, we get an OTS of the keyboard and the computer screen, so we understand what the conversation on the phone is about. The variety of shot types enables the audience to get a sense of other peoples perspectives, and make the story make sense, by involving what is important in the story.
