Camera Angles Analysis

In the TV series Breaking Bad, they use a variety of  different camera angles, such as this angle which is a wide shot, where the object of the shot (the character) is central and you can see items around him as well, the camera angle is wide, these are mainly used to explain a part of the environment that the character is in, or to reveal a small area in which something will happen, but concealing the whole area by not showing it

 The TV series also uses a closeup quite often, a close up is where the characters face will take up most of the camera area, leaving not much of the background visible. They may use this to make us see the full expression of the character, so we know as an audience if the character is happy, sad, excited or feeling any other different emotion, this can also help us to predict what the character will do next, which is useful for a directer to add tension.

Establishing shots are used to, well, establish an area so the audience know the whole place they're looking at and will remember it. This can be used to show a safe area for the characters or an unsafe area, to show the audience what could happen next, this particular shot is used here to elaborate that the area they're working in is desolate and completely isolated, and that no other people are there, and the reason this shot is used is so that we subconsciously know that no one else will be there.

This is a worms eye view shot, they use quite a lot of these in Breaking Bad for an opening. They make the audience feel below everything, as the camera is at a very low angle looking upwards onto the scene, usually showing something being dug up, or something being created on top of the glass. These are normally used at the opening of a scene, because the angle doesn't show much of the area that the scene is in, and shows very quickly and in detail, a closeup of what the character is doing without using a POV shot or an over the shoulder shot.
