This is a CU (close up), level, static shot. The effect of this shot is to show the facial expression on this man, his expression represents the seriousness and determination the people of Asgard feel.


 This is a MS (medium four shot), high, pan right shot. The effect of this shot is to show all four people looking towards the sky, they are looking for hope. A MS is used here to show the positioning of their body frames to make the audience see they are looking up.
