The document defines and describes various camera shots and techniques used in filmmaking. It discusses extreme close-ups and long shots used to build tension or set a scene. Two shots are used to show character relationships. Other shots covered are long shots, close-ups, mid shots, low angle shots, over the shoulder shots, high angle shots, tilt shots, crane shots, zoom shots, panning shots, tracking shots, and crane arc shots - explaining what each shot looks like and how it is used.

1. Camera Shots
Extreme Close Up- The shot is so tight that only
a detail of the subject, such as someone's eyes,
can be seen. This shot is used to build tension,
and to show the audience exactly how the
character feels as the audience can see the
characters emotions.
Extreme Long Shot- This can be taken from as
much as a quarter of a mile away, and is
generally used as a scene-setting, establishing
shot. This shot is used to show the audience
where the characters are and what is
happening around them.
Two Shot- a cinema or television shot of two
people together. This shot is used to show the
connection and relationship between two
characters or people, it is most commonly used
in TV shows.

2. Camera Shots
Long shot- A view of a scene that is shot from a
considerable distance, so that people appear as
indistinct shapes. The long shot is used to stress or
show the setting of the scene, and to also show
how the character is feeling, it could show that the
character is alone.
Close up- A close-up or close up in filmmaking,
television production, still photography and the comic
strip medium is a type of shot, which tightly frames a
person or an object. Close-ups are one of the standard
shots used regularly with medium shots and long
shots.
Mid Shot- In film, a medium shot is a camera angle shot from a
medium distance. It usually shows the character from the waste
up to show what they are doing.

3. Angle Shots
Low angle shot- A shot from a camera angle
positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below
the eye line, looking up. It is used to make the
character look strong and powerful.
Over the Shoulder Shot- an over the shoulder is a
shot of someone or something taken from the
perspective or camera angle from the shoulder of
another person. This has the effect of making the
viewer feel like they’re there and part of the film
A high-angle shot is a cinematic technique
where the camera looks down on the subject
from a high angle and the point of focus often
gets "swallowed up." High-angle shots can make
the subject seem vulnerable or powerless when
applied with the correct mood, setting, and
effects.

4. Movement
Tilt Shot- Moving the camera up or down without
changing its vertical or horizontal axis. You are not
tilting the lens, rather you are moving the entire
camera.
Crane Shot- In filmmaking and video production, a
crane shot is a shot taken by a camera on a crane
or jib. The most obvious uses are to view the actors
from above or to move up and away from them, a
common way of ending a movie
Zoom- A zoom is technically not a camera move as it
does not require the camera itself to move at all.
Zooming means altering the focal length of the lens to
give the illusion of moving closer to or further away
from the action.

5. Movement
Panning Shot- Panning is a camera movement
technique that involves moving the camera
horizontally to the right or left. With this technique
you can track an object or follow any type of
movement
Tracking Shot- A tracking shot is when a
camera follows a person or an object
physically moving with the subject- This can be
done using tracks, handheld, ropes, Steady-
cam etc.
Crane Arc- A shot in which the camera rises
above the ground on a mobile support. This is
used in fast moving scenes for a smoother effect,
rather then using the tracking or panning shot.
