Page 4: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Establishing shot

The establishing shot establishes the setting of the scene. It is usually used at the beginning of a scene.

Page 5: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Wide shotThe wide shot can be different shots from different distance to show the people in the room. E.G. If the characters are having a family dinner, a wide shot would be used to show the whole family around the table.

Page 6: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Long shotA long shot is usually used for framing a character, an object by their whole body.

Page 7: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Mid/Medium shot

The mid/medium shot frames shots of a character from their waist and up. This shot is usually used to capture the characters dialogue and to show their facial expressions.

Page 8: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Close up shot

A close up shot assemble a character or an object of some particular part of their body or face. However, it’s mainly used to show facial expressions and their emotions.

Page 9: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Extreme close up shot

A extreme close up is a shot that is used to capture part of the body or face to show detail to the audience. It is also used to show more detail of the characters facial expression.

P.O.V (point of view)

The POV shot demonstrates the character’s perspective. The camera has to be able to imitate how the human body moves, however it also depends where it’s placed.

Page 11: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Over the shoulder shot

An over the shoulder shot is a shot which is filmed as if it’s from the back of a character’s shoulder.

Page 12: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Two shot

Two shot can be used to frame two characters in one scene. It can be used to demonstrate them communicating with each other.

Page 13: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Part B: Camera Angles

• Low• High• Canted/Oblique

Page 14: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Low angleIt’s a angle from a lower place that looks up to a character. For example, finding treasure, and the camera looks up at the characters making them see more dominant on finding the treasure.

Page 15: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

High angle

A high angle is a shot taken from a higher place looking down at the character. It’s often used to make the character look weak and vulnerable.

Page 16: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Canted/Oblique

It’s a camera angle that makes the shot seem tilt or skewed.

Page 17: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Part C: Camera movment

• Pan• Tilt• Track• Zoom/Reverse zoom• Dolly• Crane• Stedicam• Vertigo

Page 18: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Pan

Pan is when the camera moves horizontally from left to right or right to left. This is to show more detail of the setting on the scene. Or it can also be used to establish the scene.

The images above connotes the movements of a pan going horizontally, from left to right.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H0iTasuYkQ&feature=BFa&list=HL1354126815

Page 19: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

TiltThe tilt is opposite to the pan. It’s when a camera moves vertically from top to bottom or bottom to top. Its also to show more of the setting, objects or characters. However, it’s often used to show the characters whole outfit.

The images demonstrate the movement of tilt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLggRPMWotM&feature=BFa&list=HL1354126815

Page 20: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

TrackThe movement of the camera from side to side without moving to follow an object or the character. ‘Track’ is more referred to rails in which a wheeled platform sits on in order to carry out smooth movement.

As it shows the images slowly connotes a track movement from left to right.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VizvGh1Js9I&feature=BFa&list=HL1354126815

Zoom

Zoom is when the camera features zoom goes in towards an object or character to reveal more information.

The images show the effect of the zoom onto a object.

Page 22: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Reverse zoom

Opposite of zoom. Often called ‘zoom out’, when the camera zoom goes out away from the object or character. This can be used to reveal more detail or the setting around them.

The images connotes the reverse zoom which is the opposite of a zoom.

Dolly

Dolly is when a camera moves in and out. Or backwards and forwards on an object which is like a tripod with wheels.

The images connotes the way a dolly movement.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4PUXBSaYZo&list=HL1354126815&feature=mh_lolz

Composition

• Balance - Symmetry (symmetric balance) - Asymmetry (asymmetric balance)• Rule of thirds• Depth of fields - Shallow focus - Deep focus - Focus pulls

Page 25: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Balance

• Balance-Arranging a particular scene so it is even on both sides and nothing or nobody over powers. The ying yang symbol is a perfect example of symmetry.

Page 26: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Depth of field

•Is distance of what is in focus and the nearest and farthest objects in a scene.

Page 27: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Shallow of focus

•Where the camera is concentrating on one focus of an object where the rest is out of focus.

As you can see the bag gained the focus of the picture, and the rest was not on focus and seems blurry.

Page 28: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Deep focus•Where the entire image is in focus, meaning the foreground, middle ground and background are all involved.

As you can see the image gained the whole focus, unlike the shallow focus, there isn’t anything blurred out since the entire image is in focus.

Page 29: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Symmetry (symmetric balance)

•Where the shot is completely equal on both sides, used to show organisation.

Page 30: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Asymmetry (asymmetric balance)

•Where the shot is completely unequal on both sides to represent chaos and disorder.

Page 31: Assignment 4  camera shots, camera angles,

Rule of thirds

•The rule states that the image should be divided into nine equal parts, two equally-spaced horizontal and vertical lines.
