Extreme close-up
Extreme close-ups are a shot that is part of the body or face to show extreme detail

Overhead
An overhead shot is the type of camera shot where the camera is placed above a characters head.
![Page 12: Assignment 4 media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5552e7adb4c90532498b5435/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
POV (point of view) A POV shot is a shot that shows a characters perspective. To do this particular shot, the camera will need to be placed on the face of the character, (better to be placed on the eyes) just like google glasses.

Aerial
An aerial shot is quite similar to an overhead shot. This shot is taken from an overhead position.This shot may be similar to an overhead shot, but this shot is usually taken form a far distance.
This is an example of an aerial shot. This picture is of the beginning of Eastenders.
An aerial shot is like a bird view.

CAMERA ANGLES
These are the three different types of camera angles:
-Low-High-Canted/Oblique
![Page 15: Assignment 4 media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5552e7adb4c90532498b5435/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
LowA low angle is taken at a low level.Usually positioned on the ground.The purpose of a low angle is to enhance and make a character or subject look dominant in their role.
![Page 16: Assignment 4 media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5552e7adb4c90532498b5435/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
HighThis is an angle taken a high place that looks down on a character or subject.The purpose of a high angle is to make the character or subject appear smaller and vulnerable.

Canted/Oblique
• This angle is an angle that makes whatever has been shot to look as if it was stewed or tilted.

CAMERA MOVEMENT
There are nine different types of camera movement:
-Pan-Tilt-Track-Zoom-Reverse zoom-Dolly-Crane-Stedicam-Vertigo
![Page 19: Assignment 4 media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5552e7adb4c90532498b5435/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Pan
A pan movement involves pivoting horizontally.This movement gives a panoramic view.
![Page 20: Assignment 4 media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5552e7adb4c90532498b5435/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Tilt
A tilt is when the camera is pivoting from up and down.A tilt movement reveals information.

Zoom
Zoom is when the camera features a zoom going in towards an object.
![Page 23: Assignment 4 media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5552e7adb4c90532498b5435/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Reverse zoom
Reverse zoom is the opposite of zoom.Reverse zoom is also called a zoom out.
![Page 24: Assignment 4 media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5552e7adb4c90532498b5435/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

COMPOSITION
There are eight different types of composition:
-Balance-Depth of field-Shallow focus-Deep focus-Symmetry-Asymmetry-Rule of thirds-Focus Pulls
![Page 29: Assignment 4 media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5552e7adb4c90532498b5435/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Balance
• When things are arranged elements so that no one part of a work overpowers, or seems heavier than other part.
![Page 30: Assignment 4 media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5552e7adb4c90532498b5435/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Depth of field
• Is a distance of what is on focus.
![Page 31: Assignment 4 media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5552e7adb4c90532498b5435/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Shallow focus
Shallow focus is a photographic and cinematographic technique.This movement is used to emphasise one thing over another thing.
![Page 32: Assignment 4 media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5552e7adb4c90532498b5435/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Deep focus
This is when everything is in focus.This is when you can see the foreground, background and midground
![Page 33: Assignment 4 media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5552e7adb4c90532498b5435/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Symmetry
When the shot is equally symmetrical or balanced on both sides.
![Page 34: Assignment 4 media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5552e7adb4c90532498b5435/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
AsymmetryIs the opposite of symmetry.It is when the shot is equally asymmetrical or unbalanced on both sides.This type of composition is often used in filming to show disorder, chaos.
![Page 35: Assignment 4 media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5552e7adb4c90532498b5435/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Rule of thirdsThis is a composition rule used for the visual arts, such as paintings, photography, film and design.Rule of thirds promotes interests, tension, energy in a composition.
This is taken without rule of thirds. This is taken with rule of thirds.
![Page 36: Assignment 4 media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5552e7adb4c90532498b5435/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Focus pulls
This type of composition is usually very hard to compose.It is when you pull or change the focus of something.
