Extreme Wide Shot
The subject of the shot isn’t visible. Often used as an establishing shot.
![Page 4: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Very Wide Shot
The subject is just about visible. The shot is still about the environment the subject is in.
![Page 5: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Wide Shot
The subject takes up the whole or majority of the frame.
![Page 6: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Mid Shot
Shows the subject in more detail but still gives the impression of the whole subject.
![Page 7: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Medium Close Up
This shot is the halfway point between a Mid Shot and a close up.
![Page 8: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Close Up
The whole frame is taken up by a feature of the subject.
![Page 9: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Extreme Close Up
Shows extreme detail of the feature of the subject.

Cut-In
Shows some (other) part of the subject in detail.
![Page 11: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cutaway
A shot of something other than the subject.
![Page 12: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Two-Shot
A shot of two people in a similar position to a mid shot.
![Page 13: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Over-The-Shoulder Shot
This shot is looking from behind at a person.
![Page 14: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Point-of-View Shot
This shot is shown from the subject’s perspective.
![Page 15: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Weather Shot
The subject in this shot is the weather. It can also be used to back up text in films/trailers.
![Page 16: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Eye-Level
This is the most common view, being the real-world angle that we are all used to. It shows
subjects as we would expect to see them in real life.
![Page 18: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
High Angle
A high angle shows the subject from above. This has the effect of diminishing the subject,
making them appear less powerful or have less authority.
![Page 19: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Low Angle
This shows the subject from below. This make the subject seem powerful and authoritive.
![Page 20: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Bird’s Eye
The scene is shot from directly above. This
is an unnatural point of view which can be
sued for dramatic effect or for showing a
different spatial perspective.
![Page 21: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Slanted
The camera is purposely tilted to one side so the
horizon is on an angle.
![Page 22: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
![Page 23: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Arc Shot
The camera moves around the subject.
![Page 24: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Crabbing Shot
This is a less common version of tracking, trucking
and/or dollying. These terms are more or less
interchangeable, although dollying tends to mean
in-and-out movement whereas the others tend to
mean side-to-side movement at a constant
distance from the action.
![Page 25: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Dolly Shot
A dolly is a cart which travels along tracks. The
camera is mounted on the dolly and records the
shot as it moves.
Dollying is often defined as moving closer to or
further away from the action.
![Page 26: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Follow Shot
The camera follows the subject or action.
![Page 27: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Pan
This shot is a horizontal camera movement in
which the camera moves left and right about a
central axis.
![Page 28: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Camera Tilt
This is a vertical camera movement in which
the camera points up or down from a
stationary location.
![Page 29: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Tracking
This is a shot mounted on a cart which travels along
tracks. This is different than a dolly shot because
tracking is often more narrowly defined as
movement parallel to the action or at constant
distance.
![Page 30: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Trucking Shot
This is basically the same as tracking or
dollying. It generally refers to side-to-side
camera movement with respect to the
action.
It is not used as often in comparison to
dollying or tracking.
![Page 31: Camera shots, angles and movement](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9ac461a28abb9318b48ae/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Zoom Shot
Zooming means altering the focal length of the
lens to give the illusion of moving closer or
further away from the action.
This is technically not a camera movement shot
as the camera does not move.
