Camera shots, angles and movements
Rule of thirds
Rule of thirds is also known as rule of thumbs, which is a process used when filming,painting or taking photos. Rule of thirds helps you centre what is important in the shot and it must touch the 4 lines in the middle.! Following the rule of thirds creates tension and interest in the composition.
180 degree rule
The 180 degree rule is a guideline that is used for filmmaking when on screen filming a relationship between a character and another character within a scene. There is an imaginary line called the axis that connects the characters and by keeping the camera on!one side so that the scene wont jump of one end to the other which will cause confusion to the audiences.
When filming, there are many shots, angles and even movements you can do/use to get the best possible effect for a photo or scene. Camera shots Extreme close-‐up: an extreme close up is used to show only one detail of someone or something. is used to show the exact detail they want to show people.For example, an extreme close up of a cats tongue.This is to show each detail of the cats tongue such as the little hairs they have to lick themselves clean with. Close up: similar to an extreme close up, a close up shows more than one feature of the object or person. This is used to show the audience the important features such as facial expressions.
Mid-‐shot: mid-‐shots are used to capture a head to chest shot.!This!mostly!only!fits!1!or!2!people!in!a!frame!shot! as!its!not!big!enough!to!fit!more!than!2!people.! Long-‐shot: long shots are the shot where you capture the whole thing, a head to toe shot.This can fit more 2 people in one frame shot.
Extreme long shot: extreme long shot is used to film the whole setting/area of the scene.For example, an extreme long shot of Hollywood. Camera angles High angle: high angle is an angle where the camera person is filming above the person. This angle is used to show that the person being filmed from (above) Feels big and dominant.The opposite person, being looked down at, feels small and feels insecure.
Low angle :low angle shot is filmed from below a person. This angle is used to show the person being filmed from feels small and scared as the looking up at some one means you feel down and insecure.However the person who is looking down at the other person will feel the opposite.
Camera movements
