“IF YOU CAN DODGE A WRENCH, YOU CAN DODGE A BALL!”
In this first shot, it’s sort of a reaction shot with a slapstick comedy element intertwined with it. In this shot, the character is being hit with a wrench, even though this would be overwhelmingly painful, there is a lighthearted-ness to the shot that makes us laugh at his pain.

This next shot is a reaction shot immediately following the last shot of the wrench facial. It shows us the reaction to two individuals after they have seen their friend struck in the face. Notice their reaction is more of shock and awe then of anger for the abuse of their friend.

This last shot I chose because it was a good example of an indoors long shot. It gives you a sense of location while at the same time it can also be called a reaction shot; we may not be seeing the reaction of someone in particular such as in the previous shot, but we are seeing the collective jubilation of the entire audience.
