A camera can be in focus or out of focus, focus can be used to disguise certain things that the audience is not meant to see. Something which is out of focus is usually a key part of the film away which would make the whole mystery obvious to the audience. An Example of this is in Da Vinci Code when the man is getting chased having the camera out of focus to disguise the person chasing him.
The way the shots are composed can make hide certain factors of a film for example if someone is killed then the killers face will not be shown to create mystery. An Example of this is in The Usual Suspects where the Killers face is not shown, this adds to the mystery of who he is and what he has to do with the storyline.
Close up
A close up can tell the audience alot about what is being close upped this is because you can see people facial expression so see what their reaction is also it may be used to intentionally show the audience something on an object that was never noticed before. An example of this is in Death Note where there is a close up of the hand writing on the paper and then after there is a scene of someone dying this makes the audience wonder what the comparison is between the hand writing and the deaths.
