Question

multiple-choice question 18 notice that in the courtroom and outside, the camera angle changes from being level with the other citizens to being high up and \swooping\ down on them. what does this angle change represent? the cameraman was given a lot of freedom on how to shoot these scenes. nothing the change in angles shows the point of view going from a citizen of the town to the \evil spirit\ that was conjured to attack them. the crucible act 3

Explanation:

In "The Crucible", the camera angle change (high - to - swooping down) when showing the courtroom and outside is used to convey the idea of an "evil spirit" (or the oppressive, accusatory force of the trials) coming to attack the citizens. The first option about the courtmen's freedom in asking questions doesn't relate to camera angle meaning, and "Nothing" is incorrect as camera angles in film/play adaptations of "The Crucible" are used for thematic and symbolic purposes. The third option's description of the angle change (from a citizen's eye - level to the "evil spirit" attacking) matches the symbolic use of camera angles to represent the threatening, accusatory force of the witch - hunt trials.

Answer:

The change in angles shows the point of view going from a citizen of the town to the "evil spirit" that was conjured to attack them.
