Part A: Camera Shots

- Establishing shot- Wide shot- Long shot- Mid/medium shot- Close up shot- Extreme close up shot- POV(point of view)- Over the shoulder shot- Two shot- Overhead shot

Part A: Camera Shots

- Establishing shots A range of distances, establishes the setting.

Part A: Camera Shots

- Wide shotShows a large variety of information.

Part A: Camera Shots- Long shot Framing a character or subject of

their whole body .

Part A: Camera Shots

- Mid/medium shotFraming a character or

subject of their torso.

Part A: Camera Shots

- Close up shot

A part of a body or object in closer detail.

Part A: Camera Shots

- Extreme close up shotPart of a body or face to show extreme detail.

Part A: Camera Shots

- Point of viewWhen a camera is

moving with the body.

Part A: Camera Shots

- Over the shoulder shot

Filmed as if it is from the back of a characters shoulder.

Part A: Camera Shots- Two shotTwo characters communicating.

Part A: Camera Shots

- Overhead shot The camera is

Part B:Camera angles

- High - Low- Canted

Part B:Camera angles

- Low angleLow to the ground that looks up to the character

or object.

Part B:Camera angles

- High angleAngle taken from a

higher place looking down on the character or object.

Part B:Camera angles

- Canted/obliqueCamera shot made

to look tilted.

Part C:Camera movement

- Pan - Tilt- Track - Zoom - Reverse - Dolly - Crane- Stedicam - vertigo

Part C:Camera movement

- Dolly Camera moves in and out on a tripod on wheels

but stays steady.

Part D:Composition

- Balance - Symmetry - Asymmetry - Rule of thirds - Depth of field - Shallow focus - Deep focus

Part D:Composition

- Balance Symmetrical on

both sides.

Part D:Composition

- Symmetry Same on both

sides to show order.

Part D:Composition

- Asymmetry Unbalanced on both sides.

Part D:Composition

- Rule of thirds Visual arts. Enables

better energy and tension.

Part D:Composition

- Depth of field The distance

which is in focus.

Part D:Composition

- Shallow focus Emphasizes one

part of an image over another.

Part D:Composition

- Deep focus See the foreground,

middle-ground and background.
