To start off, I would like to discuss the plot of Get Out. Get Out is produced by Jordan Peele who also has a well known youtube channel (click on this link to view his channel). Get Out is a psychological horror film directed by Jordan Peele, released in 2017. The film tells the story of a young black man named Chris Washington, who visits his white girlfriend Rose Armitage's parents' house in the suburbs. While Chris initially believes that the weekend trip is a chance for him to meet Rose's family, he soon realizes that something is off. The Armitage family seems to be welcoming and friendly towards Chris, but he begins to notice strange behavior from the family's black servants, who seem to be acting in an unsettling and robotic manner. Chris also meets several of Rose's family friends, all of whom seem overly interested in his race and physical appearance. As the weekend progresses, Chris becomes increasingly uncomfortable with the situation and begins to investigate what is happening. He uncovers a dark and twisted plot involving the Armitage family and their friends, who are using a brain transplant technique to transfer the consciousness of white people into the bodies of young, healthy black people. The film ultimately culminates in a tense and terrifying confrontation as Chris tries to escape from the Armitage family's clutches and expose their sinister plot to the world.
The film Get Out makes use of various shot angles to create a sense of tension, suspense, and unease. Some of the important shot angles used in the movie include close up shots, point of view shots, medium shots, and wide shots. Close up shots are used to convey the intensity of the characters' emotions and a good example of this shot is when Chris is crying when he strapped down to the chair about to be murdered. Point of view shots are used to show the audience what the character is seeing and a great point of view shot in this film is when Chris is looking at one the black servants freak out after he took a picture with a flash of him. Medium shots are used to help the audience feel the character's attitudes and emotions from their body language. A great example of this shot is when Chris is walking up the dead deer that Rose just hit while on their drive up to her parent's house. The audience could see how much this saddened and hurt Chris. Finally, wide shots are shots used to help the audience capture a sense of space and context. There are numerous wide shots in Get Out but I think a great one is when Rose is sitting on the bed at the end eating Fruit Loops and seems to planning who her next victim is. The audience can tell how crazy her and her family really are in this scene. Overall, the shot angles in Get Out are carefully chosen to create a sense of unease and to highlight the power dynamics between the characters. They contribute to the film's overall mood and help to enhance the audience's viewing experience.
