Examples of camera shots

At the very beginning of the video, they used an arc shot to show what the character is doing and where the scene is set. It allows us to have a visual idea of where it is set and the character's emotion.

At 0.39, they used a mid shot on one of the character (Janet Kyle in this case). It allows us to see her facial expressions more clearly.

Throughout the first minute of the video, (when Janet and her husband, Micheal Kyle, are having a conversation), a shot reverse shot as well as an over the shoulder shot are used to show both characters' emotions and expressions.

Also, a match-on actions is used throughout the episode. A good example of this is between 10:25 and 10: 29, when the little girl turns her head to her left, a long shot is used to show both of the characters, and then, the camera cuts to the girl and she's in the same position she was before, which is essential to show continuity.

Moreover, at 12:43, a zoom is used to show the viewers where the scene is set and to give them more information on the nature of the scene as well.
