In this short extract of the film 'Inside man' there were a total of 12 different camera angles. The types of camera angles included were a two shot, a medium shots, head and shoulders shots and over shoulder shots. A two shot is generally used to clearly display a conversation. Medium and head and shoulder shots are generally used to show someones facial expression while also showing their attire, emphasising the theme of the film. In this case, the facial expression included was an interrogative expression, emphasising the serious theme of this extract. The over shoulder shot in this case was used to show how a character entered the scene and the setting they were in.
