Saw

With this movie I wanted to use all close up shots because this movie masterfully utilizes this style of shot to emphasize importance on various things. In the first shot, it is of someone holding a mini cassette which reads ‘PLAY ME’.

Again, this next shot uses a close up style of shooting to establish with the audience that the clock in this shot is of supreme importance, in this case, they have until 6 o’clock to make a vital decision.


They say the eyes are the window to the soul; in this case they are the window to the mind. In this last shot, we see a female character with some sort of contraption on her head. All we can see is her eyes, and with just two eyes, we see more expression then any amount of words could tell us.
