'One Week'

Usually, the camera remains around a mid shot to wide angle shots to show the plot to the viewer, eg. The house but also assist the actors as the silent use of body language due to the film is extensively used to represent feelings that are typical of the genre, such as the beginning scene in the car as the driver has a wide smile as he annoys the couple in the back. Usually, the transitions used in the film are used as the day changes as it fades to the calendar that changes to the next day and transitions to title cards to illustrate what the characters mean. The house is the film's key prop, as the man in the car changes the numbers on the parts of the house at the beginning, and the finished result is an incredibly distorted house that creates a humorous effect. From the beginning, stunts that were popular from silent movies are prevalent as Keaton and Seely are flipped over at heights and the final part where the house is spun around by the storm tossing the actors out. The depiction of marriage is typical of the time when the man builds the house, but this stereotype is poorly designed and the woman usually seen cooking in the film is subverted and used as a sex object when she is in the bathroom and the camera is hidden to conceal the nudity. As he is tossed and flipped around by the house during the storm and the construction of the house, the representation of Keaton's star personae like the outsider clown is heavily portrayed. 

'The Scarecrow'

the camera remains mostly at a wide angle shot and full body shots typical of the genre, but close ups and mid shots are used in this film and are most prominent at the beginning when we are introduced to the characters of Keaton and Cline. Several gags are also seen in the beginning, as Keaton has to stand on Celine to hit stuff or the choreographed dining scene. Typical of the genre, the scene is cut to cards showing what is being said, and throughout the film the camera zooms numerous times to typically express a facial expression of the characters. The house props have a certain theme that is seen at the beginning through the cards "all the rooms in this house are in one room" as a book shelf transforms into a refrigerator/pantry and the record player turns into an oven creating a surreal atmosphere reflecting its humorous tones. The significantly different height of Keaton and Cline is used to establish a humorous tone as the height comparison is used in the film and the numerous chase scenes are seen throughout the chase, especially the scenes with Keaton's dog close-ups and the dog showing Keaton's facial expression to create a comedic effect as the dog leaps over to him.

'The Tall Sign'

The traditional camera angles are clearly used as large angel shots and full body shots to present the body language of the actors and generate emotion, but at the end of the chase scene a shot of the four rooms in one is used with a lot going on in these scenes to create a comedic atmosphere like a cartoon gag like how the newspaper is completely opened up and is massive at the beginning. In the traditional way, title cards are used to help the plot move forward, but also the letters that are present in the film as they give the viewer more detail about the characters, especially the antagonists. For this film, many weapons are used with a stronger emphasis on violence, while murder and crime are running themes in a comic tone using a dead bird as a prop. In particular, two scenes show a person running away using a wide angle shot and speeding up the video to make the scene more amusing to contemporary viewers, and throughout the movie the normal exaggerated gestures such as jumping and falling are prevalent. The portrayal of the police in this film shows them running away from a suspect in a negative light.

'Cops'

Usually, the shots in this film don't change by remaining at wide angle shots, but having a few close-ups like the scene where the bomb is thrown next to Keaton, this is done so that we can see the actors' facial expressions that occur many times in this film. Title cards are not used as often in this, but at the beginning and end of the film there are more cuts than the earlier films that cut between characters and shots. The key costume used is the police uniforms, as we see Keaton chased by a large number of policemen as well as using a horse to help the storey proceed during a police parade. After being tossed around, the stunt at the end where Keaton is thrown off a ladder matches in with the genre's conventions. At the end, a wide angle shot of Keaton being pursued by a large group of police helps establish a comic atmosphere as the police are depicted as fools tripping and falling over each other while pursuing Keaton.
