Describing Shots--Considerations
• Framing or length of shot
• Angle of the shot
• Movement involved in the shot
A change between two different shots is called a CUT.

Framing or Shot Length
• Extreme long shot (ELS/EWS)
▫ Scene setting
▫ Establishing shot
▫ Usually exterior
▫ Little detail
• Variation is LS/WS(not as far)

Framing or Shot Length
• Long Shot (LS)
▫ Shows the image as “life” size
▫ Full shot showing entire human body
▫ Focus is on characters, but still see background

Framing or Shot Length
• Medium Shot (MS)
▫ Full shot showing subject from waist up (max 3)
▫ Dialog or detailed action
▫ Minimal background
▫ 2 shot (2 people) or 3 shot (3 people)
OVER-THE-SHOULDER-SHOT, positions the camera behind one figure, revealing the other figure, and part of the first figure's back,
head and shoulder.

Framing or Shot Length
• Close Up (CU)
▫ Very little background
▫ Concentrates on either a face or a specific detail
▫ Takes us into the mind of a character

Framing or Shot Length
• Extreme Close Up (ECU)
▫ Magnify beyond what the human eye would experience
▫ Used for dramatic effect
▫ Caution: Camera shake

Point of View Shot (POV)
• View from subject’s perspective (eyes)
![Page 9: Multimedia/Video Lecture - Ms. Holka Riverside High Schooltiffanyholka.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/2/2/13220777/... · Describing Shots--Considerations •Framing or length of shot •Angle](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060217/5f0632da7e708231d416ca45/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cutaway Shot (CA)
• Shot that's usually of something other than the current action
• Used for:
▫ as a "buffer" between shots
▫ to add interest/information

Noddy Shot
• Used for interviews typically
• Shot of person listening to/reacting to subject when shooting with one camera
• Typically, you can shoot the whole thing and then film noddy shots later (and edit them in)

![Page 12: Multimedia/Video Lecture - Ms. Holka Riverside High Schooltiffanyholka.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/2/2/13220777/... · Describing Shots--Considerations •Framing or length of shot •Angle](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060217/5f0632da7e708231d416ca45/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Birdseye View
• Directly overhead
• Very unnatural and strange angle
![Page 13: Multimedia/Video Lecture - Ms. Holka Riverside High Schooltiffanyholka.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/2/2/13220777/... · Describing Shots--Considerations •Framing or length of shot •Angle](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060217/5f0632da7e708231d416ca45/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
High Angle
• Camera is looking down
• Subject appears small
• Angle creates the impression of weakness in subject
![Page 14: Multimedia/Video Lecture - Ms. Holka Riverside High Schooltiffanyholka.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/2/2/13220777/... · Describing Shots--Considerations •Framing or length of shot •Angle](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060217/5f0632da7e708231d416ca45/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Eye Level
• Most common
• Camera will be placed approximately five to six feet from the ground
• Neutral shot
![Page 15: Multimedia/Video Lecture - Ms. Holka Riverside High Schooltiffanyholka.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/2/2/13220777/... · Describing Shots--Considerations •Framing or length of shot •Angle](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060217/5f0632da7e708231d416ca45/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Low Angle
• Camera is looking up
• Subject looks large
• Angle creates the impression of power in subject
![Page 16: Multimedia/Video Lecture - Ms. Holka Riverside High Schooltiffanyholka.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/2/2/13220777/... · Describing Shots--Considerations •Framing or length of shot •Angle](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060217/5f0632da7e708231d416ca45/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Canted Angle
• Characters point of view
• Camera is tilted and off balance
• Show confusion, disorientation and instability

Camera Movement--Pan
• Scans a scene horizontally
• Follow a moving object, which is kept in the middle of the frame
• Tripod!!

Camera Movement--Tilt
• Scans a scene vertically
• Follow a moving object, which is kept in the middle of the frame
• Tripod!!

Camera Movement—Dolly Shot
• Also known as TRUCKING or TRACKING shots
• Camera is placed on a moving vehicle and moves alongside the action
• Camera could even be mounted on a car, a plane, rolling chair, etc.
Dolly in(opposite is Dolly
out)
In moving a camera from side to side you "truck right" or
"truck left."

Camera movement—Handheld
• First saw widespread use during World War II
• Taken with a handheld camera or deliberately made to appear unstable, shaky or wobbly
• Often used to create a "realism" or "raw" look as if it's documentary footage, news reporting, etc.
Used in Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield for effect

Camera movement—Handheld
• TIPS
▫ Flex knees to act as shock absorbers
▫ Lean against solid object or another person
▫ Keep camcorder off shoulder to minimize bounce when walking.

Camera Movement—Crane
• Basically, dolly-shots-in-the-air
• A crane—called a JIB—is used
![Page 24: Multimedia/Video Lecture - Ms. Holka Riverside High Schooltiffanyholka.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/2/2/13220777/... · Describing Shots--Considerations •Framing or length of shot •Angle](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060217/5f0632da7e708231d416ca45/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Camera Movement—Zoom Shot
• Zoom lens can change the position of the audience, either very quickly (a smash zoom) or slowly, without moving the camera an inch, thus saving a lot of time and trouble
• Zoom lens tends to be jerky
• Use rarely and with caution
• May be good for deliberate dizzy/vertigo effect
• Dolly zoom (wheeled chair, skateboard)
• Always use a tripod!

Camera Movement—Aerial
• Even further from the action than the crane shot, in a helicopter or atop a mountain or skyscraper
• Moves with the subject

General Notes
• When shooting people, don’t frame a shot so the top of the neck, the top of the legs, the knees or the ankles are cut off at the bottom of the screen; allow these body parts to be a little above or below the edge of the screen for best composition.
