- 18. For example: The technical code of the broken frame, high angle shot through the stairs looking down on Mr Bates looking up at the camera connotes….. The technical code of the POV (Point of view) shot looking at Mr Bates walking stick, which cuts to a reverse shot of the other workers reactions, connotes… The non-verbal code of Ms O’Briens facial expression can be denoted as….
