CAMERA SHOTS, ANGLES AND 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.

Page 4: Camera  Shots, angles and movement

Extreme Long Shot A wider frame value in which subjects in

the frame are small; a building, cityscape.

Page 5: Camera  Shots, angles and 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 and 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 and 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 and movement

Mid / Medium Shot A shot displaying the human figure /

object in half.

Page 9: Camera  Shots, angles and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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.

Page 13: Camera  Shots, angles and movement

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.

Page 14: Camera  Shots, angles and movement

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).

Page 15: Camera  Shots, angles and movement

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 and movement

Camera Angle Categories High Angle shot Low Angle shot Eye-level camera angle

Page 33: Camera  Shots, angles and 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 and 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 and 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.

Camera Movement Categories Panning Tilt Zoom Tracking / Dolly

Page 37: Camera  Shots, angles and movement

Panning Panning refers to the rotation in a

horizontal plane of a camera.

Page 38: Camera  Shots, angles and movement

Tilt Technique in which the camera is

stationary and rotates in a vertical plane

Page 39: Camera  Shots, angles and movement

Zoom A camera movement requiring a zoom

lens ("zoom in/out")

Page 40: Camera  Shots, angles and 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.

camera called? …horizontal?
