A extreme close up shot is generally magnifying beyond what the
human eye would experience in reality. An extreme close-up of a face,
for instance, would show only the mouth or eyes, with no background
detail whatsoever. This is a very artificial shot, and can be used for
dramatic effect.
3.
A close up shot shows very little background, and concentrates on
either a face, or a specific detail of mise en scène. This shot
magnifies the object and shows the importance of things, for
instance, the expression on someone's face, so a close-up takes us
into the mind of a character.
4.
A medium shot contains a figure from the knees/waist up and is
normally used for dialogue scenes, or to show some detail of
action. Background detail is minimal, mainly because the location
has been established earlier in the scene.
5.
A long shot includes the full shot showing the entire human body,
with the head near the top of the frame and the feet near the
bottom. While the focus is on characters, plenty of background
detail still emerges.
6.
This can be taken from as much as a quarter of a mile away, and is
generally used as a scene-setting, establishing shot. There will be
very little detail visible in the shot, it's meant to give a general
impression.
7.
A track shot also known as a
dolly shot is a shot in which
the camera is mounted on a
cart which travels along
tracks. Tracking is
commonly known for
moving closer to or further
away from the action.
8.
A cut in shot is a shot that is
specifically used to show to some
part of the subject in detail. A
director would use a cut in shot
for the main action, such as
another action or object in the
same location or to emphasise
emotion, for example, hand
movements can show
enthusiasm, agitation,
nervousness, etc.
9.
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.
10.
The tilt shot is similar to the
pan shot, but the tilt shot
moves vertically instead of
horizontally. Tilt shots are
often used to show the
vertical significance of
something, for
instance, imagine being at the
bottom of a tall building and
then tilting the camera
upwards to capture the entire
building structure.
11.
A zoom shot is technically not a
camera movement as it does
not require the camera itself to
move at all as zooming means
altering the length of the lens
to give the illusion of moving
closer to or further away from
the action. Zooming is a
effective a shot as it creates a
difference in perspective.
12.
Diegetic sounds are natural sounds made realistically in a
scene. For example voices of characters and sounds made by
objects.
13.
Non-Diegetic is when artificial sound and music is added
within a scene. Diegetic sounds can be used for a built up and
to increase the intensity.
14.
Mise en scene is everything within the frame, this consists of lighting,
clothes, setting, props and equipment and sound (non-diegetic and
diegetic).
