Framing
• Camera’s distance from the subject• Camera angle in relation to the
subject• Point of view

Shot Types (Framing)
![Page 7: Camera](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5552e7a4b4c90532498b542f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Angle in relation to subject
• High angle• Low angle• Wide Angle
![Page 8: Camera](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070315/5552e7a4b4c90532498b542f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
HIGH ANGLE SHOT• Taken from
above, sometimes used to create a sense of vulnerability.

LOW ANGLE SHOT
• Taken from below. Often creates a sense of power & authority

POINT OF VIEW SHOT
• Camera shot as if through the eyes of a protagonist, this will give the audience more information about what the character knows and share their experience, (often we are being asked to empathise with the character).

Look at the following still
• What type of shot is it?• What elements of the image are
being emphasised?• What angles are being played
upon in this image?• Why do you think this image has
been framed in this way?

Look at the following, in each case say…
