The Borrowers

In 1997 Director Peter Hewih produced the movie `The Borrowers' the movie uses lots of camera angles such as extreme close up, birds eye veiw and cross cutting plus many many more. All of these have been used carefully.

In one of the early scenes of the movie The Borrowers it shows the small family of 4 are fighting in their kitchen the director is using the camera angles close up and cross cutting to show that Homily and Pod are worried about arrietty and that makes us feel like we are in arrietty's shoes.


In another early scene of the Borrowers it shoes Pete and the family in the back of the moving truck about to leave Pete's big home because it is getting demolished and pete found out that the Borrowers lived with him. While they are in the moving truck  the camera cross cuts back and forth from pete to the borrowers to show fear or that something bad will happen.


While the family are still in the moveing truck they are sitting in small red box falling around. The audience on the other hand are looking down on the Borrowers and that is called a bird's eye view. This shows that we have total control over them.


In conclusion I think the movie The Borrowers  used great camera shots and an amazing amount of humour.
