  1) Pick  three  camera   shots  from the Doctor Who scene and explain what type of shot it is and what meanings or effect they have on the audience. 1- the Medium close up shows the characters expressions, shows the character speaking with almost a serious expression in that zoom meeting, which creates an uneasy tone for the audience. 2- An Establishing shot has been used when the character was facing away from the camera towards their computer in their room, making them seem small as if something was about to happen, shows a character is distracted and may be unaware what may happen next.
