youD.C.S.E Exemplar Paragraph
In this shot from the trailer, the camera is positioned in a low angle, looking up from underwater at mermaids and the bottom of a ship.
The angle connotes danger and mystery, as if an immediate attack is about to take place.
This is signified through the audience’s knowledge that mermaids are circling the ship underwater, and are only seen as silhouettes. As a result, the audience view the mermaids as an evil force, while sympathising with the unsuspecting crew on the ship.
