camera shots/angles analysis

Camera shots/angles analysis of 28 days later:

In 28 days later we see a wide range of camera angles, for example the long shot and the close up.
Examples of  close ups would be:

 


These are two screen shots of close ups from the movie which happen consecutively, by doing this they show us the feelings and emotions of the protagonist towards the news paper. Doing this helps up to understand the situation better as important details are shown this way. the close up of the protagonists face intensifies the emotions.
