Establishing shots (ES):
These shots connect the audience with the location that the events are unfolding in. This allows the audience to have the background information required to know what is happening with more depth. the deep focus that has been used also lets the user to gain more information from the shot. One could also comment that
Extreme Close Up (ECU):
As this shot focuses on a very specific object or part of a person - it has a very specific meaning linked to it. For example, if it is an ECU of somebody's eyes, this can show an extreme emotion such as fear or anger. It allows the audience to get a stronger connection with the character or associated object.
Wide Shot (WS):
These shots focus more on the background, and thus imply a certain emotion towards what is in said background. The portraits hanging on the wall, with the gun next to them implies the family is in danger. The character within the scene does not show much importance apart from body language, which can show how the actor is behaving in the scene.
Close up (CU):
Long Shot (LS):
A long shot establishes the whole character with some of the background on show. This can be used to link the character to the background - but in a lesser way then a wide shot does. It can also be used to show the distance between the character and their surroundings.
It is also notable to mention how the framing is used in this opening. There is a lot of closed frame shots - suggesting that the people inside the house are trapped with the one who is focused on in the intro - however this could also be flipped as there is no implicit meaning.
