Transcript of Camera shots, angles, movement
What is a shot?
A shot is a series of frames, that runs for an uninterrupted period of time.
Film shots are an essential aspect of a movie where angles, transitions and cuts are used to further express emotion, ideas and movement.
In production, a shot is the moment that the camera starts rolling until the moment it stops.
In film editing, a shot is the continuous footage or sequence between two edits or cuts.

Close-up shot
It is a type of shot, which tightly frames a person or an object. Close-ups display the most detail, but they do not include the broader scene.
Extreme Close Up
The shot is so tight that only a detail of the subject, such as someone's eyes, can be seen
