Black Mirror (White Bear)

This episode deals with the issues of what to do with people that have committed crimes, by making them repeat a day over and over again with no memory, ending up being tortured and ultimately exposed to the crime they committed and forced to redo the day again.

One of the main things I enjoyed about this episode of Black Mirror was how it effectively used camera position to give the audience a uncomfortable feeling. From the very start the camera uses a close up of the main character but just pushing past her comfort bubble. As well as this the camera likes to linger on her as she does various actions. For example as she moves down the stair and moves towards the sink, the camera stays on one shot as it moves around still feeling extremely close and lingers as she takes a gulp of water. 

This goes on until she comes across another person where the camera still tries to remain close but it's not as effective as when she's by herself. So the rest of the piece feels like a normal film until the end sequence. This is where it's revealed her day to day life but instead of repeating the same shots used in the piece it has the camera positions moved to places like behind a one way mirror or looking at the on lookers and this gives it the feelings like it's showing us a narrative BTS informing the audience how it's all set up in the world. It works because it feels like someone is slipping a camera behind a wall and just shooting what is going on and it really helps the audience understand what's going on.
