How is camerawork used in extracts from 'Heroes'?

In the casino scene in Heroes it starts with a tilt up and tracking forward shot. This establishes setting as well as characters. It tilts up from a roulette table, establishing the setting as a casino and tracks forward to show the audience where the characters are.

A medium, two shot is used to show the two characters in conversation, when they are talking together. However this changes when the characters differ in opinions and close ups are used of each individual character to show this divide.

An extreme close up of a casino chip keeps the story moving forward as the audience can see what the characters are doing.

It then cuts to a low angle shot of the female dealer at the casino. This gives her a sense of authority and the audience gets a sense of what it is like from the characters point of view. A jump cut to a close up of the face focuses the audience, so they can see the detail and the concentration.

A deep focus shot of them gambling shifts and pulls focus to the roulette table in the foreground allowing the audience to see all of the setting. When the special effect of stopping time is used in the casino, panning, tracking and tilts are used to follow the character which means that the audience can see more of the special effect, it also exaggerates the movement through the stillness. Time is then started again and the two characters are still in disagreement. As one character is happy he won the money, whilst the other knows it was not luck and so are still in separate shots. However when they are in agreement again they are in the two shot again. This shows that the shots which are sued in this part of the scene are used to help show their feelings.
The cheerleader scene starts with the camera tracking a man who has just woken up showing his confusion through the movement of the camera and canted camera angles, with blurred edges. This shows the distortion and confusion the character is feeling.

It then cuts to the cheerleader who is walking and being tracked by the camera as she is an important character.

The car scene uses two shots, looking into the car to see both characters as they are having a conversation. Extreme close ups of the gear stick changing gear show the audience that the car is increasing speed.

A profile shot is used looking through the car window. It shows one face in focus and the other who is not talking not in focus to make sure the audience is looking at the right thing.

The scene ends with a close up of the man in the cars face just before the crash to make sure the audience sees his reaction. Then there is a shot of the car crashing into a wall from a high angle shot looking down on the car like the audience are watching them distanced from the action it also allows the audience to see the surrounding areas which are deserted.
