CameraworkShotsClose up is used to reveal detail. If you are shooting just the head and shoulders of a subject this is a close up.Mid shot is shot from just below the waist to above the head. This gives an idea of what is going on around the character.Long shot shows the entire body of a character, and is usually used for someone who is walking or moving.Over the shoulder is used within situations such as interviews, where the shoulder of one person is shown as well as the face of another, showing their reactions.Two shot is most commonly used when two characters are having a conversation, and is composed of their heads and torsos.Establishing shot is a very wide shot designed to show the surroundings of a setting and is usually the first shot of a scene.Master shot shows the entire scene as it is played out from the beginning to end. Then other shots are put in afterwards to develop the scene.Wide shot shows all of the character and all of the surroundings that they are in to establish where they are.Aerial shot is an extremely high angle of view on the subject, usually taken from a helicopter or top of a building.Point of view shot shows where a character is looking at, from their perspective.

AngleHigh angle is when something is shot from above the subject matter.Low angle is when something is shot from below the subject matter.Canted angle is when something is shot oblique to the subject matter, slanted.

CameraworkMovementPan is when the camera is sweeping across the subject matter or landscape.Tilt is when the camera is stationary but moves in a vertical plane.Track is when the camera follows a character or subject as they are moving.Dolly a piece of equipment on a track to which the camera is mounted to create smooth movement of the camera.Crane is used to mount a camera to in order to view a character from above and for the camera to usually move away from them.Steadicam is a piece of handheld equipment used to steady the camera.Hand-held is a camera that the operator holds directly in their hands.Zoom is when the camera moves smoothly from a mid or long shot to a close up.Reverse zoom is when the camera moves smoothly from a close up to a mid or long shot.

CameraworkCompositionFraming is when a motion picture camera automatically controls the position of successive still photographs on the film so that, when the film is subsequently projected, the image will appear steady on the screen.Rule of thirds are when photos are divided into thirds with two imaginary lines vertically and two lines horizontally making three columns, three rows, and nine sections in the images. This stems from the theory that the human eye naturally gravitates to intersection points that occur when an image is split into thirds, creating a more interesting composition when objects or characters are placed in these areas.Depth of field is the zone in which a camera's lens focuses most. It is not a fixed distance, it changes in size and can be described as being either 'shallow', where only a small zone appears sharp, or 'deep', where more of the picture appears sharp.Deep focus is when the foreground, middle-ground and background are all in focus, with almost no visible areas that aren’t in focus.Shallow focus is a technique incorporating a small depth of field; one plane of the image is in focus while the rest is out of focus.Focus pull is a creative camera technique in which you change focus during a shot. Usually this means adjusting the focus from one subject to another.
