Billy Elliot dancing for dad notes on camera angle and mise-en-scene

  • establishing shots are used in the scenes; when Billy and his dad have confrontation, when Billy dances away from his dad and the camera showing that he is unafraid to take charge of his life and do what he wants to do not what his dad wants him to do. Also the camera vary's in establishing shots to give the audience a clear view of the cliche surroundings.
  • this clip uses close ups at varied points of the clip, to show the characters facial expressions, the aggression on Billy's face to show his determination to make his dad proud. His dad as a reaction shot, to see emphasis his raw emotion
  • Finally there is a medium shot at the end on Michael, Billy's friend to show the contrast in reactions of the father and the friend.
