Game of Thrones, Grey’s Anatomy and Pretty Little Liars are only few of the countless hit television shows popularized as a result of their adept ability to play on the emotions of their audience. Amongst this group stands Judd Apatow’s, Freaks and Geeks, as media techniques such as camera shots, conflict and editing are expertly employed in order to evoke emotions in viewers, consequently engaging the audience as they form emotional connections with the characters. Firstly, Apatow skillfully employs various camera angles in order to manipulate the audience’s perception and feelings towards the subject. A prime example of this is at 21:41 when there is a low angle shot of Alan towering over Sam as he says, “You just signed your death warrant!”
