Jurassic park show a lot of cinematic shots from extreme close ups to low angles. It uses a close up on a man's face to get his facial expression to a tense situation because he has no idea what might happen when the container opens leaving the audience to feel on edge as they might not know what is in the container. Then it goes on to a medium close up with multiple people in it to catch their stern faces making the atmosphere more tense. Shortly after it moves on to a medium shot showing the lower half of a man holding a gun representing a sense of danger in the area as guns are a symbol of violence but as it zooms in to it show the man's face he is very serious and ready for what is to happen. It also starts at a low angle shot making seem higher up compared to the others almost like he's in charge of the operation. It moves on to do a crane shot showing all of the people in the operation and given the sheer number of them make the audience think what is in the that requires that many people. A POV shot is soon put in after giving you the perspective of the raptor looking out the cage through a small hole staring at the people making you understand that the raptor is in a close space as it's field of view is smaller than most people's. Straight after is does a medium shot of the people showing even more but also showing more of them with guns giving a tenser atmosphere know something incredibly dangerous is in the cage. It then pans right following people as they run around the cage to secure it once again show the signs of danger but also the signs of preparation as they must have be very organised. When the cage is opened the camera is static showing the strength of the raptor being able to push the heavy cage a few metres back. Once the raptor has a hold of the man the camera does a high angle shot to get a over view of the panic that occurs after he is bitten. A close up of the electric rods are shown shortly after to show a load of sparks and smoke coming from it to show how strong and resilient the raptors are after they bite their prey making them seem incredibly dangerous. Following the close up is an extreme close up of the raptors calm looking eyes and quickly moving on to the protagonists eyes looking completely the opposite of the raptors more strained and scared showing the brute strength of the dinosaurs making humans seem inferior. It moves on to an extreme close up of his mouth after to get a better feel of what he is shouting but to also get the emotion of it straight after the extreme close up moves on to the man's hand (who is being attacked) which is moving for a little bit but then stop moving meaning that he has died, it also shows the importance of some characters, the ones that die are normally the side characters of the story making them lees important.
