This is an extreme long shot in the scene where the director establishes the setting to the audience. In this scene, the main character, Mika is very tiny in frame.
 * 1. Extreme Long Shot**

The director used an eye level shot in order to make the audience feel that they are part of the scene, where they can feel the sadness and despair Mika is going through.
 * 2. Eye Level Shot**

In this shot, the character's upper body in in frame, which shows the emotion and expression portrayed by the actor. Due to the setting is also included in frame, which also give the audience an idea of where the character stands, this shot is categorised as a medium shot.
 * 3. Medium Shot**

This is shot from a bird's eye view, which is looking downwards from a higher place. This kind of shot is suppose to convey power and possession, however this is particular scene, Mika is attempting to commit suicide and give up her life, which I find quite ironic.
 * 4. Bird's Eye**

Following the bird's eye shot, the director then uses the contrast, the worm's eye view to show a powerful relationship of Hiro and Mika. Although Hiro is dead at this point, the director portrays the doves as Hiro trying to stop Mika's suicide, which is a very powerful relationship to have between lovers when one is dead.
 * 5. Worm's Eye**

The director uses a close up shot in this part of the scene to show the sensitive facial expressions on Mika's face. In this shot, the audience feels really close to Mika and shares her feelings with her. The worm's eye shot is used again in this scene,looking upwards from a lower position, to show Mika's miss for Hiro and their strong relationship still exist even after Hiro's death.

 * 7. Worm's Eye**

The close up shot is used here to emphasise the most important thing at this point, which is the expression of Mika's face, to pass on the mood and atmosphere of the scene to the audience.
