In the clip from Back to the Future many different camera angles are used in order to show the importance of the main character, Marty. These are done so there is an effect put on the audience so they know who to focus there attention on during the film. The extreme close-up on the girls face at the end of the clip, this angle shows the emotion on there faces and gives the audience the chance to know how others feel about this character. This extreme close up on this particular character could show that these girls are going to be importance throughout the film.
The second angle is the over the shoulder at the very beginning, this is to show the contrast in Marty and Biff's height. This shot is also used to show the fear in Marty as he is physically smaller then Biff and this particular shot allows the audience to know that Biff is quite intimidating foreshadowing what he could be like in the rest of the film. The over shoulder shot accompanies the genre of the film because it is meant to be tongue and cheek humour, which this is showing.
Lastly, the pan tracking Marty on his skateboard escaping Biff, is to show his heroic efforts to out run Biff. The specific effect this has on the audience is that it is putting them into the action with the characters because they are following what everyone in the film world is seeing. This shot is effective in doing this because when I was watching it I thought I was part of it and really wanted Marty to escape Biff like he has done.
