Extreme long shot AKA establishing
shot (at the beginning)
LS long shot (whole body)
Medium long (waist high)
Medium close up (mid chest)
Close-up (showing detail but may just show face or
another body part or object but background is visible)
Extreme close-up (focus on just one thing there is no background seen)
Bird’s eye (view looking down from on top)
Worm’s eye view – (looking up from the ground level)
Extreme long shot (shot viewed from far away, often called ‘an establishing shot’ to establish a new place, context or situation at the start of a new shot sequence or the start of a film.)
High angle (shot from above looking down it makes the subject matter look vulnerable and of low status/insignificant)
This show was not as successful as i wanted it to be.
Low camera angle (look up at character makes them look powerful and in control of the situation)
Over the shoulder (the shot is viewed over the shoulder of a character,
and gives a feeling of what they are watching, like a POV shot.)
Point of view shot (the camera shows what someone is looking at, but they don’t appear in the shot. It literally allows you to empathize with the character.)
Tracking/panning (When the camera tracks, the whole camera moves on a
dolly or hand held, and usually follows a character. Camera panning, however,
is where the camera moves from left to right, but it pivots, and stays in the
same place. When it moves up and down, this is referred to as tilting.)
Reverse (going
back in time in the form of a flashback)
Canted angle (when the angle of a shot is slanted, so it appears
unusually off kilter, and gives the feeling of disorientation.)
Hand held camera (this technique is used in a lot of found-footage and
sometimes low budget films. It creates the effect of documentary style or found
‘real’ footage, and can be very effective in horror.)
Zoom (where
the lens of the camera is set to zoom in or out, making the same shot appear
larger or smaller.)
