Camera shots in coming of age movies is important to convey the emotions and reactions of each character. For example, close-ups are often used on each characters face so that the audience can interpret their facial expressions. Two shots can be used to display how close two characters are together, and in some cases they have the comedic effect of producing a "forced togetherness" bond between to characters who do not like each other, but end up ironically close to each other. I will need to include these camera shot techniques in my film to display the character emotions and reactions to events that happen to them.
A film which uses these techniques to display emotion is the movie "You are so not invited to my bat mitzvah" In this movie two shots are used throughout the movie to show the roller coaster of the closeness that the two protagonists go through during their rivalry. The distance between them increases as they grow on bad terms, and as they get back closer and make up, they stand closer to each other in the two shot techniques. Close ups are also used to show the reactions of each character, as they sabatoge each other.
