Camera Angle:
This scene is about that Briony was in her home.She was watching that Robbie was arrested.
High Angle: It shows characters to be less powerful.At that monument,Robbie was arrested so this camera angle let him looks hopeless and emphasizes his panic.Also,the camera high is the position of Briony.She was in her room therefore when she was watching out of the window,everything look small and far away.
Camera Angle:
Extreme Long Shot-XLS:
All human figures are very small.Even the two main characters stand at the middle but audiences may feel hard to find them.This shout concentrates on surrounding environment more than the characters' facial expression.It is related to their identity change.
Long Shot-LS:
A frame is leading by Robbie the soldier who was walking in the foreground.The space is not only focus on him.Also,it includes a lot of background movement to express that typical situation.
E.G: End of the war, the army need to go back to England but they do not have enough ships to carry all the horses.So,they kill some of them to reduce burden.This is a reflection about war is a cold-blooded murder.
Medium close up-MCU:
Character's face is magnified than the long shot.A frame is more intimacy with actor's face.Leading audiences focus on actor emotion and feeling.
E.G: From this frame,we can see a tear drop from Robbie because hundred of dead body are in front of him.He cannot bear the fear anymore.
Camera movement:
Tracking Shot:
Camera movement is following the character.Those scenes just like we are looking someone running in front of us.It is quite similar with human vision.
 
Panning Shot:
Horizontal moving from left to right,all actors look small because the frames want to focus on the environment more than them.To show they are very confused in such foggy forest.
  
Tilting Shot:
This shot is a vertical movement from down to up.The camera focus on his feet,it creates a edgy tension. When the camera is moving from down to up,it more concentrates at the background than the actor.
 
Zooming:
The camera do not move only need to zoom out from the actor.At the beginning,it shows actor facial expression.Later,it zooms out to emphasize the poor girls dead in a war.However,Robbie even he is a soldier but he cannot protect them.
Focus:
 
Selective Focus:
This film always use selective focus to help audiences concentrate on the actors emotion. Separation of subjects use blur the background and medium or close shot.
Lenses:
Wide angle:
Figures in foreground look bigger than their original size.Meanwhile,the landscape at the background looks smaller and wilder.This is a place Robbie and Cecilia want to live forever.The house looks like a peaceful paradise for them.
