  Inception Final scene:

• Begins with extreme close-up, highlights his confusion and makes the audience just as confused by not revealing any parts of the background.
• After a few seconds, change into mid shot, the angle gives the feeling that he is gradually registering his environment, at the same time the viewer begins to understand where he is
• Matte shot while panning- end of suspense we now know he is in an airplane with one of the other characters
• Slowly panning towards different characters slowly, this conveys he is still unfamiliar with his surroundings but the pace of the shot gives the impression that it is a peaceful and relieving atmosphere 
• Extreme long shot showing the environment at the airport, some of his friends in the background
• Over the shoulder shot as he gets his passport checked
• Tilt shot (upwards) towards the dream architect in the background
• continuous slow movement when tracking gives the impression he is still in shock and confused, he passes his friends
• tilting downwards as he uses the instrument to see if he is in a dream, showing his emotional state before doing so
• Long shot of him and his kids hugging while panning again towards spinning object
• Zooming in towards it building tension and suspense......... Will it drop? Is he still in a dream?
