Assignment 4: Camera shots, camera angles, camera movement, composition
Camera Shots
• Establishing Shot• Wide Shot• Long Shot• Mid/Medium Shot• Close-Up Shot• Extreme Close-Up Shot• Point Of View• Over The Shoulder Shot• Two Shot
Establish Shot
• Establishing the location or time of day.
Wide Shot
• A shot that will capture everyone or thing in that area.
Long Shot
• A shot that will capture the whole character or object.
Mid/Medium Shot
• A shot that will show a character or object, from its middle upwards.
Close-Up Shot
• A shot that will be taken from the characters neck upwards or a special feature on an object. Usually to show detail.
Extreme Close-Up Shot
• A shot usually taken to show clear detail of someone or something.
Point Of View
• A shot that would make it seem like we are in the characters shoes. Shown with movement and correct placement.
Over The Shoulder Shot
• A shot taken from over one characters shoulder, showing the other characters facial expression. The more of the shoulder you show, the less important the other character is.
Two Shot
• A shot where two characters are in the same frame.
Camera Angles
• Low Angles• High Angles• Canted or Oblique Angle
Low Angle
• A shot taken from below, looking upwards. Often to make the character or object look bigger.
High Angle
• A shot taken from above, looking down. Often to make the character or object look smaller.
Canted or Oblique Angle
• Where the camera is tilted, so the image appears diagonal.
Camera Movement
• Pan• Tilt• Track• Zoom• Reverse Zoom
Pan
• A shot where the camera pivots left to right or right to left.

Tilt
• Opposite to pan. A shot where the camera pivots up and down or down to up.

Track
• Where the camera moves from side to side using a track.
Zoom
• Where the camera goes in towards a character or object.
Reverse Zoom
• Opposite of zoom. Where the camera goes out from a character or object.
Composition
• Balance • Symmetry• Asymmetry• Rule of Thirds• Depth of Field• Shallow Focus• Deep Focus
Balance
• Showing the equal amount of colour in a picture.
Symmetry
• A shot that is equally symmetrical.
Asymmetry
• Opposite of symmetry. A shot that is unequal.
Rule of Thirds
• A rule that says that the ground should take up 1/3 of the picture, while the sky should take up 2/3s.
Depth of Field
• The amount of an image that appears sharp.
Shallow Focus
• Sharpening one part of an image.
Deep Focus
• Opposite of shallow focus. The whole image is sharp.
