9 Key Frames with Shot Types and explanation

Medium Close-up: I have chosen this shot type to show that there is something wrong with Jordana, and how devastated both of them are. Jordana is wearing a white dressing gown, which instantly informs the audience that there is something wrong with her. The cup of coffee which Oliver is holding shows that they have been waiting a long time, and he needs caffeine to keep him going.
Close-up: This conveys the idea that Oliver and Jordana have been together for a long time, and are very close. The ring also tells us that they are engaged.

Medium Long-shot: This is to show that Jill (Oliver's Mother) has entered the room. You can see that she is holding coffee and a blanket for Jordana. This is illustrating her motherly figure in the film.


Medium Close-up: Here Jill is tucking Jordana into the bed covers. This also shows how she is being motherly and caring.
Medium Close-up: This key frame is showing how Jill is offering Oliver coffee but he already has one. He is angry at her because she is treating him like a child by getting him things he can get himself. This reinforces the theme of coming-of-age, as he doesn't want her buying him things any more as he is older now.

Medium Close-up: This key frame shows that someone is coming in as both Jordana and Oliver are looking in the same direction. The red coat is in the corner which gives the audience a negative image.

Over the shoulder shot: This frame shows how the nurse isn't telling them anything. The red coat is see in the corner which foreshadows that something bad is going to happen. (This is the same as the previous frame).
Close-up: This frame shows how Jordana is suffering and we can tell she will not make it. There is a red light in the background which also conveys the idea that something bad is happening.
Medium Close-up: This frame shows the nurse trying to pull Oliver out of the ward, as Jordana has just died. Oliver is trying to reach out for Jordana but he can't as the nurse isn't letting him. We can clearly see that the woman is a nurse because of her costume. In the corner you can see Jordana's hands and the engagement ring, and Oliver's hand is near it which reinforces their bond and how they have been separated for good because she has gone.
