This document discusses different types of camera shots including close-ups, medium close-ups, long shots, tracking shots, cut-ins, panning shots, tilt shots, and zoom shots. It explains what each shot is used for, such as showing facial expressions with a close-up or revealing something with a tilt shot. The document also covers diegetic and non-diegetic sound, explaining that diegetic sound is audible to characters in the scene while non-diegetic directs the viewing experience. Finally, it discusses mise-en-scene and how it involves all visual elements that appear in a shot, such as characters, costumes, lighting, and setting, to convey meaning.
2. • This is an extreme close-up of the main character and it shows him
staring into the distance which suggests that he is thinking of
something.
3. • Close-ups are used to show detail of the characters facial
expressions, just as displayed below you can clearly see that
something is bothering him.
4. • A medium close up will show the face more clearly without getting
too close, in this image it shows the characters full persona and also
anything that consists in the background.
5. • A long shot is when a single person will take up almost the full frame
height showing his whole body language, this shot shows that army
have just won the battle and are standing tall and brave.
6. • These shots are used to show everything in the background and to let
us know of the surrounding and what is happening, for the image I
have chosen to use you can see all of the characters in one scene by
the sea.
7. • A tracking shot is when the camera is actually on tracks and when it is
following someone or something in the frame.
8. • A cut-in is a close-up shot of something visible in the main scene and
it can be used to show enthusiasm, nervousness and more.
9. • This is where the camera will move at the same pace as the subject so
that the background is blurred and the subject is sharper. This is
usually used when you are following somebody or an object.
10. • The tilt shot is moving the image vertically (up and down) and is
usually used to reveal something.
11. • A zoom shot is when you are using the lens to move the camera
either closer to or away from the subject rather than actually moving
the camera at all.
12. • Diegetic sound is simply the sound in the film that the characters can
hear, the most obvious form of diegetic sound is dialogue as two
characters talking can obviously hear each other. You can also have
explosions, baby's crying and dogs barking among many other
sounds. The role of Diegetic sound is to create realism in the film, for
example if you have two characters having a conversation with no
background noise it wouldn’t seem right. They are also used to
enhance the experience, so if there is to be an explosion in the
film, its better that it is louder rather than quiet.
13. • Non-Diegetic sound on the other hand is not there for realism as no
one walks around with a sound track. The role of Non-Diegetic sound
is to direct and enhance the viewing experience, for example if there
is someone dying in a film there is usually sad music played in the
background so that the audience will feel upset.
14. • Mise-en-scene involves everything that is
happening in the frame and these are things
such as
characters, costumes, props, setting, lighting,
acting and special effects. This is basically
showing everything that consists in a shot.
• In this scene it shows that the people in
the background are a unit as they are all
dressed the same, it also shows
peacefulness within family and you can
tell by the setting of the scene. Its calm
yet there will still be a war as you can tell
by the dark clouds.
