In the film "Ben Jumps in" Ben is feeling a bit nervous about the show he's getting ready to put on inside the water, which is shown using framing. The audience is able to feel the nervousness of Ben through the use of framing, and it gives the you the impression that you're actually feeling what he is. Furthermore, framing gives the audience a view of every one cheering Ben on which seems to be because he isn't very excited about doing the tricks. Also, you can hear Ben breathing and the steps he's taking, while the noise everyone is making is mute. This makes you feel like you are in Ben's shoes about to perform the tricks yourself. Ben already seems nervous by the way the man is telling him to come out. Ben looks like he has been pressured into doing this performance, whether through financial need or anything else. It is quite clear this is not something he would want to be doing. It seems like he is starting to second guess the performance he planned to put on. Also, when Ben is first coming out the house there is a POV shot used which gives the audience a sense of how he is feeling by the dull look on his face and the slow, apathetic steps he is taking. This POV shot is used to show his facial expressions and body movements in comparison to the people outside excited and applauding. Ben shows no interest or excitement. When Ben jumps in the water there is also a framing shot showing him looking outside of the water, while the man and lady are pushing him back in. This is showing that he really wants to get back out of the water, but the people there are pressuring him into performing. There is also the use of a close-up camera shot. This is used to focus the audience's attention on the head of Ben. The rest of Ben's body is irrelevant using this type of framing. The focus on his face gives us an impression of what he is feeling. Ben is feeling bored or frightened, but he is being pressured into performing the show.
