Medium Shot

This shot is from a film called 'The Waterboy'. This shot is a mid-shot and is intended to show a little bit of the characters' surroundings, as we can see the main character is sitting behind a typical American school/high school desk(now we know it's set in a typical American school). His facial expression tells us that he is kind of weird and a humorous character, which tells me that this film is a comedy film. The light effect used this shot is flat(ordinary) and gives us no particular feeling when we look at it, other than the characters face(which shows a little bit of humour).
