The camera work in this scene is very interesting as it is done with a few close ups to start with to get across the character's mood and how they are feeling in this scene but then we see a lot of medium shots which i believe they did on purpose to represent everyday life as we easily associate shots like that with scenes where characters are doing everyday things however because we think of it as such a natural view is the reason we notice the things happening in the background like the blood and zombies that the character doesn't notice. I feel like the film maker did this to add a sense of humor to the scene by making the character seem so oblivious to his surrounding as for him it is just an everyday trip to the shop. I believe it is important to use the camera angles to show the audience things that the character might not always see too as it adds a layer of storytelling and development aside from the actions of characters.

The camera angles in this scene are purposely used by the film maker to show how large and intimidating the enemy is and to set a clear theme that the good characters are at a clear disadvantage compared to the bad one's. It does this by having a wide shot of space to show how massive the events taking place are. It keeps this angle as a small spaceship moves away from our view which instantly tells us as the audience that they are running away and then we see the much larger spaceship move in after them. When it first appears the larger spaceship covers almost all of space which is to compare them to the size of space to show the audience who has the power in the scene. This is important as it tells me that camera angles can be used to make things seem more or less powerful which can be really effective in storytelling.
