SHOT TYPES AND CAMERA ANGLE CHECKLIST.
It is a waist up shot. You get to see their expressions and also you can see what they are wearing which helps to set the scene. This shot is
used a lot within filming as we as an audience don’t feel like we are to close or to far away, and we also get to see the person of interest more
clearly without having to get to close.
What is it? Example
MID-SHOT
It can be a very close shot of any object, it can be used to make things more intense or to show someone's expression better, like for example, in a horror film they might use it to show the subject eyes widen when
they have just been jumped out at by another character or they could use it to show the mouth in more detail as the subject is screaming to make the sound seem louder then it is.
It helps to empathise what the person is doing or looking at.
What is it? Example
EXTREME CLOSE UP
It is a shot of two people, but taken over the shoulder of one of the people, it can be used for a shot–reverse-shot. For this shot to work the shot must always be
taken over someone's shoulder or else it is not a
shot-reverse-shot.
What is it? example
OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT
To show where the next scene will be shot. It is always taken from the
outside of the building so that you can see where the next shot will be taken
place, it helps to blend scenes together, for example if there was a scene on a boat and the next scene
was of a room with lots of desks in it, you might be a little confused and still think you were on the boat, but if you
take a shot from the outside of the building for the second scene then
people will know and understand that you have moved places in the film.
What is it? example
ESTABLISHING SHOT
It is a shot of a persons head (from the top of the head to the chin). This is
commonly used within film as it can help to show more detail of the character, and there expressions are more
visible then if they were stood further away, but with out getting to close to the
subject.
What is it? Example
CLOSE UP
Shows the face in more detail without getting to close. The shot is taken
form the subjects tummy to the top of their head. This shot is very similar to the mid shot, but it can show
more detail and the expressions are more visible
to the viewer.
What is it? Example
MEDIUM CLOSE UP
Point of view shot.
Shot from a subjects prospective. Think of it as if
you were the camera, the audience is a character and so when the characters talk
to the camera it makes it feel like you are a character.
What is it? Example
POV
A shot with two people in it.
Framed similarly to a mid shot. The shot is done so
two people can be seen in it, this can be good if you want to show to people talking to each other and don’t want
any other characters involved in there
conversation.
What is it? Example
TWO SHOT
A shot of a person that allows for space above and
below the person. It is a good shot to use if you want
to show more of the surroundings that the
person is in, it helps to set the scene.
What is it Example
WIDE SHOT
Shows the setting, but with a person in it. It can be used
to show a large group of people or even a person far of in the distance, it helps again to set more of the
scene, it gives a wider view of the scene.
What is it? Example
EXTREME LONG SHOT.
Opposite to a birds eye view.
Used to make people look tall and big. The shot will be taken by
placing the camera on the floor and tilting it up slightly so that the
person is in view, this can be used to make people look very imposing and make you feel as if they see you as a very small person, or it can be used to show how someone looks up to
another, for example how a younger sister might look up to her elder
sibling, it could represent that.
What is it. Example
WORMS EYE VIEW
Shot taken at a persons eye level, natural level.
The shot has to be taken at the characters eye line so
that we are able to feel as if we are in a way stood in
front of them.
What is it? Example
EYE LEVEL
A picture that is taken looking down on something, e.g. just like you were a bird
that was flying a looked down.
What is it? Example
BIRDS EYE VIEW
It is a shot that is taken from above so that we are looking
down on the subject. The shot has to be above 90
degrees of the subjects eye line to show that we are
looking down. The shot is commonly used to make
people look smaller and very week as we are looking down
at them.
What is it? Example
HIGH ANGLE SHOT
It is a shot taken from a low angle, the camera has to be
looking up at the subject. This shot is commonly used to make people seem bigger,
more influential and powerful then the rest, it makes the
audience think that they are less important then the person on the screen as that person
holds all the power.
What is it? Example
LOW ANGLE SHOT
The camera is placed on the floor and tends to show
peoples feet. The camera does not move up or down it
stays placed on the floor straight. This shot can be
used to show people leaving a building or walking away or can be used as just an
unusual shot within a film.
