Camera Angles

1. Camera Angles
This first one is called an
establishing shot. It shows mainly
where the film takes place.
This is called a wide shot, it gives us
more information about where the
characters are.
This shot is called a medium shot. It is
taken from the waist up because the
lower half of the body does not need
to be shown.
This shot is called a close up. It zooms
in on the main object/person to
emphasise the importance of it.

2. Extreme close up. Shows
emotions of the character or
even object being shown.
This shot is called the point of
view shot because it makes the
audience believe that they are in
that position.
This is called an over the
shoulder shot. It is taken over the
shoulder; this can help the
audience place the characters in
the setting.
This is called a shot reverse shot.
This is where one character is
shown looking at another
character.

3. This is low angle shot. It shows
anything below the eye line,
looking up.
A high angle shot is usually when
the camera angle is located
above the eyeline.
