Characters/ Actors

clip or a new scene. It tells the audience where the scene is set.

up most of the

frame, shows

emotional state of

the actor or person.Extreme Close –up – Takes up

all of the frame, shows emotional

state of the actor or person. Can

create tension for the audience,

and make them feel

uncomfortable

Mid Shot – Shows

part of the subject in

detail. Gives us a

better idea of what’s

happening in the

scene.

Camera Shots/Angles

Establishing Shot – First shot in a new scene. Tells us where we are. This can also

be in the form of an Ariel Shot

Long shot – Taking all the frame height, shows the full

body. You see everything about the person

Over the shoulder

positioned below the eye line

Camera Shots/Angles

All these type of shots will be

used in order to create our

trailer. We will use different

type of shots to create different

feels, meanings and attract the

audience.

Type of Camera Filming

Hand held – Small, a lot more motion than

a camera on a stand. Controlled by the

human hand. This will be used to create

more of a ‘Thriller’ look and feel, giving

the trailer a variety of footage.

Steadicam – A stabilizing mount for a

motion picture which mechanically

isolates the operators movement from a

camera. This will be used for some of the

footage being used within our trailer,

overall giving us more of a sound

quality.
