How is camerawork used in this clip of Heroes Roulette

The scene starts with a close up shot of a roulette wheel which also becomes the master shot. This then tilts and tracks to a two shot which shows the two main characters. The roulette wheel represents the idea that there may be an element of gambling involved in this scene.

There is then a low angle shot of the dealer which is to show that she is in control of the game. However this is also used to show the perspectives of the characters sitting at the table. When one of the characters concentrates, the camera zooms in on him. This is to mark his power and to show that this character is going to have some relevance to what happens next. The camera then jumps to a close up shot of his face to show his intense concentration on what he is trying to do.

When time stops there is a deep focus shot from behind the wheel. This is to help show the stopping of time. The camera then tracks the character as he walks around the table. The shot shows a lot of the setting which is to show everybody standing still in the background. This is to emphasize the special effects being used. The master shot of the roulette wheel is used again to show that he won the game.
The characters are shown in a two shot, until they begin to have disagreements. Then the shots switch to individual close ups. However when the problem is resolved, two shots are used to present the characters once again.

Camerawork is used in Heroes to represent a disagreement of characters but also to show special effects that have been used. These shots help the audience to understand what is happening and helps make the drama more realistic.
