1. Camera Shots
• Extreme close up
• Close up
• Medium shot
• Long shot
• Two shot

2. Extreme close up
• You would normally need a specific reason to get this
close. It is too close to show general reactions or
emotion except in very dramatic scenes.

3. Close Up
• A close-up of a person emphasizes
their emotional state. Whereas a
mid-shot or wide-shot is more
appropriate for delivering facts and
general information, a close-up
exaggerates facial expressions
which convey emotion. The viewer
is drawn into the subject's personal
space and shares their feelings.

4. Medium shot
• The MS is appropriate when
the subject is speaking
without too much emotion or
intense concentration. It also
works well when the intent is
to deliver information, which
is why it is frequently used
by television news
presenters. You will often see
a story begin with a MS of
the reporter (providing
information), followed by
closer shots of interview
subjects (providing reactions
and emotion).

5. Camera angles
• High angle
• Low angle

6. Higher angle
• a high angle shot is usually when the
camera angle is located above the
eyeline.
• With this type of angle, the camera
looks down on the subject and the
point of focus often get "swallowed
up" by the setting.
• High angle shots also make the figure
or object seem vulnerable or
powerless.

7. Low angle
• a low-angle shot, is a shot from a
camera angle positioned low on the
vertical axis, anywhere below the
eyeline, looking up. The trunk shot is a
specialized type of low-angle shot.

8. Camera movement
• Pan
• Track
• Crab

9. pan
• A pan is a horizontal camera movement in which the
camera moves left and right about a central axis. This is a
swiveling movement, i.e. mounted in a fixed location on a
tripod or shoulder, rather than a dolly-like movement in
which the entire mounting system moves.
• To create a smooth pan it's a good idea to practice the
movement first. If you need to move or stretch your body
during the move, it helps to position yourself so you end
up in the more comfortable position. In other words you
should become more comfortable as the move progresses
rather than less comfortable.

10. track
• Roughly synonymous with the dolly shot, but often
defined more specifically as movement which stays a
constant distance from the action, especially side-to-side
movement..

11. crab
• A less-common term for tracking or trucking.

12. Bits on edit
• Cut away
• Cut in
• Cut cross

13. Cross Cut
• Cross-cutting is an editing technique most often used in
films to establish action occurring at the same time in two
different locations. In a cross-cut, the camera will cut
away from one action to another action, which can
suggest the simultaneity of these two actions but this is
not always the case
