What Is a Scene?
• A combination of shots that shoes the action that takes place in one location or setting
![Page 4: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What Is a Shot?
• A continuous view filmed from one perspective
![Page 5: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Shot Descriptions• Camera framing
– How close or far a subject is from the camera• Camera angles
– Angling of the camera from which you view the subject.
• Camera movement– The movement of the camera forward, backward,
left, right, up, and down

Full Shot• Frames the entire height of a person, with
the head near the top of the frame and the feet near the bottom

Medium Shot• Frames an individual from either the waist
up, or from the knees showing the audience just enough to feel as if they are looking at the whole subject
![Page 11: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

• A camera placed higher than the subject (not directly overhead) and tilted downward
![Page 14: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Low-angle Shot

![Page 15: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Eye-level Shot
• The camera is positioned at eye-level with a character.
![Page 16: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Bird’s Eye View
• The camera is positioned directly overhead of the action
![Page 17: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Canted Shot
• The camera is tilted so that the subject appears to be diagonal and off-balance.
![Page 18: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Tilt Shot
• A fixed camera that moves on it vertical axis, tilting up or down
![Page 19: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Three-quarter Shot
• Positions the camera between a frontal angle and a profile shot.
![Page 20: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Over-the-shoulder Shot• Positions the camera
over the shoulder of one character, revealing part of the backside of their head and shoulders in the foreground, and focuses on the character facing the camera in the background
![Page 21: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Camera Movement
• Pan shot• Crane shot• Dolly shot• Tracking shot• Zoom• Zolly shot
![Page 22: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Pan Shot
• A fixed camera pivots on its axis turning from left to right for the purpose of following the action within a shot
![Page 23: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Crane Shot• A camera
positioned on a crane can swoop down or up covering great distances and producing unusual camera angles.
![Page 24: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Dolly Shot
• The camera moves toward a subject (dolly-in) or away from a subject (dolly-out).
![Page 25: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Tracking Shot
• The camera tracks alongside of the object or person.
![Page 26: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Zoom Shot• Camera stays stationary as the focal length
of a lens zooms in or out.– Framing gets ‘tighter’ if the camera zooms in.– Framing gets ‘looser’ if the camera zooms out.
![Page 27: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Zolly Shot
• A dolly shot in combination with a zoom
![Page 28: Chapter 3 Fundamentals of the Shot](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815c82550346895dca979f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Summary• A storyboard artist must understand the
difference between a shot and a scene.• Shots are blocked according to camera
framing, angles, and movement.• Camera framing is based on the distance
from the subject to the character.• Camera angles add dynamism to a frame
and often grab the audience’s attention.
