PICTURES: 

This is the establishing shot. This picture sets the scene of where the person is located and where the other photos would be taken. Its primary purpose is to set the scene by showing where the person is located and providing context for the overall setting. This shot helps the viewers understand the location and mood, which is the library. 

This is a two-person shot. It seems like the two students are having a good time and conversation while laughing. You can tell this by the body language. One student looks shocked while the other student is talking. Maybe if the camera were a little bit closer to the faces, the students' facial expressions could be seen clearly. 

This is a mid-shot of a student smiling away from the camera. The expression conveys a sense of happiness and friendliness, allowing viewers to connect with the student's positive mood. The framing emphasizes the student's face and upper body, emphasizing their demeanor and making the moment feel genuine.

Pictures: 

This is a wide shot. You can see all the students in the library having a conversation. This picture captures a raw moment where you can see how all of the students interact with one another.  It seems like one of the students is left out while the other two are engaged in a conversation.

This is a high-angle shot. In this picture, you can see the teacher from high above, her posture and expression are ambiguous, leaving her thoughts open to interpretation from this angle. The perspective creates a sense of mystery, making viewers curious about what’s on her mind. It elicits feelings of loneliness or introspection, which allows viewers to imagine her inner thoughts. 

This is a point-of-view shot. This is showing the viewer what the person or character is looking at. This allows the audience to feel connected to the character since they get a "first-hand" look. In this picture you can see who the person/character is and that they are reading a book for a class. It feels almost immersive for the audience.
