Photography

In the film Philadelphia there were, medium, close ups, high angle, and slow zooms. The medium close ups were used just during regular conversation between the characters. Close ups were when Mr. Beckat starts to touch things on the lawyers desk and when he is in the council room and he asks if he's fired and when the men tell him yes and at that point with the close ups they director kinda lets it sink into you. There's also when he starts to question their decision and you understand the real reason that they are firing him, and at the end when he leaves the office and there is that long shot of just his face, at that point you feel all his pain. The high angles is when he tells the man he has AIDS and he starts to back up and he is kinda left alone. Also when he's walking to the council room, you sense that something will soon go wrong. Then a slow zoom in and out when the lawyer questions him why that are firing him. Thats all!
