Little Princess.... meaningful shots

"All Girls are princesses" There are many shots used in this movie; The three most commonly used are Long shots, Close ups and High angle shots. All of these shots are used to tell the story of Sarah Crewe and her life. 
The long shots emphasize  Sarah's Amazement both as a child and also as a stranger in New York. The long shots help to show how different she is in the world that she has been moved to.
The long shots help us to understand where Sarah is and the setting and how it may affect her life in  "Miss Minchins Seminary for Girls" and also in the hustle and bustle of New York.
The close ups remind us that she is a child, very innocent and beautiful, she is a happy child full of wonder and curiosity. Also her eyes always "sparkle" when she smiles, laughs and tells her stories of India and all the things that come from her imagination. The close ups in the begining are also shared with her father to emphasize the affection between them and the closeness that cannot be broken. The close ups usually follow a long shot or a high angle shot to show that in some way we can connect with her and that she is strong in adversity. (This also is aided by her wardrobe and accesories or hair.)
The high angle shots are used to show us and really emphasize how out of place and different she is in the world she now lives in. Sarah is just a young girl in this new world, and the High angle shots show that she is in some way not as powerful because she is a child and also because she is new to this world. The High angle shots are used to show how small and powerless she seems compared to the elements around her.
The video posted above is part of the movie and has examples of all the shots mentioned above and the context in which they are used.
