Lets the viewers see a more wider variation of the setting. Another Camera movement technique that has been used is the Aerial shot, this shot has been used also to let the the viewers see what the setting is like. Such as tall buildings, huge piles of rubbish and junks.
The Shots that has been used that i am studying in this opening scene is very effective as it draws you in. Puts you into a viewers point of view. How it shocks you for what you will see. The planet earth as we know now; Full of life, living creatures,flowers,plants,trees etc... is not the same as what we will see in this scene. A planet full of garbage.
Although i have said that the purpose of using the birds eye view angle shot and aerial shot is to let the viewers see a more wider variation of the setting. It also creates an emotional effect. To shape the viewers emotional response. The emotional feeling of sadness and emptiness as it is displaying the planet earth having no life, so lonely and empty.
Check that you have described the examples and camera shots clearly here-- a screenshot of each might help. You have also started to explain how they have been used to show the setting and create an emotion. Can you expand on this: explain how the choice of shots shocked the viewer/ audience. Check my blog for more suggestions on what to add in these different levels of your response.
