A History of Scotland...

I really Like the use of the close up on the face. It shows just a little more than a quarter however it still doesn't reveal the full face creating some mystery.

The way that the camera has captured the flame in front of the man looks really effective. I also like how the other candles in the room are not quite in full focus the flames are fairly blurry, I think that this helps to set an atmosphere and create a scene.

I love that the way that the camera zooms into the cliff/ rock face, I also think that the way that the centre of the landscape is perfect but the edges are blurred.

  I like the way that the camera pans round from left to right in this shot. I captures the grandeur of the castle and it's exclusivity, as the trees restrict our view.

 Just the sheer beauty of this shot, captures my attention. The long shot of the lake is stunning and the crispness in the camera, showing the reflections in the water and again the us of focus looks really effective.

 This is amazing! The camera captures this isolated island so well. with capturing the sea and again blurring the edges of the shot show how alone and distant this island is from normality.

 This cliff shot is so well done! I'm not sure that I have the budget to incorporate this type of filming in my final film however it looks great here. A helicopter must have been used in order to capture this type of angle, as it glides across the cliff face.

 I really like how the editing throughout has helped to inform and educate the viewers, with the use of the facts in the screen which slowly disintegrate as the camera pans to the next landscape. This editing also helps to set an atmosphere, it's about 'the history of scotland' therefore relevant facts about the locations shown on the screen help to set the mood.

The final camera work before the real programme starts is the camera tilting up the river from a birds-eye view. This type of shot helps to capture the essence of the countryside in all it's glory. Revealing the trees, fields, rivers and landscape.
