Identify one example of each of the following shots and describe how the shot affected the presentation of the story told by the film: close-up, medium shot, and long shot.
Paper Towns starts with an extended slow motion sequence for no obvious aesthetic reason at all. Later on in the film, when a clichéd voice-over drowns out all nuance, the main character walks down a school corridor whilst bumping into his high school colleagues in slow-motion. I leave no comment here, as one is not necessary. This affects the presentation for me, because the sudden change of emotion from high energetic Quentin and later on became loss in emotions and perception.
