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.

Extreme Long Shot

A wider frame value in which subjects in the frame are small; a building, cityscape.

Page 5: Camera shots, angles, movement.

Long Shot

A shot which displays a full figure from top to tip showing the entire object or human figure.

Page 6: Camera shots, angles, movement.

Wide Shot

Long shot as a "wide shot" because it often requires the use of a wide-angle lens.

Page 7: Camera shots, angles, movement.

Establishing Shot

When a long shot is used to set up a location and its participants in film and video, it is called a establishing shot.

Page 8: Camera shots, angles, movement.

Mid / Medium Shot

A shot displaying the human figure / object in half.

Page 9: Camera shots, angles, movement.

Medium Close-up

A shot which displays the figure in a little close-up form but the head and shoulders are very much in the frame.

Page 10: Camera shots, angles, movement.

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.

Page 11: Camera shots, angles, movement.

Extreme Close Up

The shot is so tight that only a detail of the subject, such as someone's eyes, can be seen

Page 12: Camera shots, angles, movement.

Birds eye shot

A bird's-eye view is an elevated view of an object from above, with a perspective as though the observer were a bird.

Over the shoulder shot

An over the shoulder shot (also over shoulder, OS, OTS, or third-person shot) is a shot of someone or something taken from the perspective or camera angle from the shoulder of another person.

Point of view shot

A point of view shot (also known as POV shot or a subjective camera) shows what a character (the subject) is looking at (represented through the camera).

Two-Shot

A Two shot is a type of shot employed in the film industry in which the frame encompasses a view of two people (the subjects).

Camera Angle

The camera angle marks the specific location at which a camera is placed to take a shot.

A scene may be shot from several camera angles simultaneously

Page 32: Camera shots, angles, movement.

Camera Angle Categories

High Angle shot Low Angle shot Eye-level camera angle

Page 33: Camera shots, angles, movement.

High Angle shot

A high angle shot is usually when the camera angle is located above the eyeline.

Connotes inferiority.

Page 34: Camera shots, angles, movement.

Low Angle shot

A low-angle shot, is a shot from a camera positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eyeline, looking up.

Connotes superiority.

Page 35: Camera shots, angles, movement.

Eye-level camera angle

It is a shot when the camera is positioned on the same level as that of the character in the film.

Page 38: Camera shots, angles, movement.

Tilt

Technique in which the camera is stationary and rotates in a vertical plane

Page 39: Camera shots, angles, movement.

Zoom

Page 40: Camera shots, angles, movement.

Tracking / Dolly

The camera is mounted to the dolly and the camera assistant usually ride on the dolly to operate the camera.

For smooth movement.
