3. HIGH/LOW ANGLE CAMERA
This shot is used to show power difference or sometimes
just height. In our film we will use this to show the power
difference between our main character in relation to other
characters.

4. EYE- LEVEL
This angle is the "personal
view" and shows the
subject as we expect to
see them in real life.
5. OVER THE SHOULDER
This shot gives us a
character's point of view but
that includes part of that
character's shoulder or the
side of the head in the shot.
It is commonly used when
two characters are having a
conversation. Often used in
conjunction with series of
motivated cut.
6. TWO SHOT
Two shot is a type of shot
employed in the film
industry in which the frame
encompasses a view of
two people (the subjects).
The subjects do not have
to be next to each other,
and there are many
common two-shots which
have one subject in the
foreground and the other
subject in the background.
It is very useful if the film is
about two people.
7. POINT OF VIEW
A point of view shot (also known as
POV shot or a subjective camera)
is a shot that shows what a
character (the subject) is looking at
(represented through the camera).
It is usually established by being
positioned between a shot of a
character looking at something,
and a shot showing the character's
reaction. It engages the audience
and makes them become the
character’s eyes and see the same
thing as the character is seeing.
9. TRACKING
Tracking shot refers to a shot in which
the camera is mounted on a camera
dolly, a wheeled platform that is
pushed on rails while the picture is
being taken; in this case the shot is
also known as a dolly shot or trucking
shot. It creates a smooth movement.
10. HAND-HELD
Hand-held camera or hand-held
shooting is a film
making and video
production technique in
which a camera is held in
the camera operator's hands
as opposed to being
mounted on a tripod or other
base. This is often used
when there are fighting
scenes to make the
audience engage and be
part of the whole action.
11. ZOOMING
Refers the to the technique of
changing the focal length of a zoom
lens (and hence the angle of view)
during a shot – this technique is
also called a zoom. The technique
allows a change from close-up to
wide shot (or vice versa) during a
shot. It helps the audience to see
clearly how the character is feeling
and shows their facial expression.
Zooming is the only camera
movement that the human eye
cannot do.
12. PANNING
panning refers to the
rotation in a horizontal
plane of a video camera.
Panning a camera
results in a motion
similar to that of
someone shaking their
head from side to side.
Panning is often
combined with Point of
View or establishing
shot.
