This is my powerpoint about camera shots, angles and movements.

CAMERA SHOTS, ANGLES AND
MOVEMENTS

2. HIGH ANGLE SHOT
A high angle shot is a shot
which is shot from above a
character, however it is not
as high as ariel shot. This
can make the subject seem
less superior and
potentially frail.

3. POV SHOT
A POV shot is a shot which shows
what a subject is witnessing. The Point
of View is most commonly generated
not by the shot itself, but by the
preceding and/or following shot/s:
Shot 1: the character looks
Shot 2: we see what s/he sees
Shot 3: we see the character's reaction
(sometimes called a 'reaction shot')

4. EXTREME CLOSE UP.
Extreme close ups are used to provide
immense detail of one particular object. An
extreme close up can be considered as
dramatic, intimate, detailed and potentially
disorientating.
It could be used as the start of a tracking
shot, as an intense reveal of something, this
would create anticipation.

5. CLOSE UP
Close ups are used to show
expression, or again detail
within the frame. Close ups
can emphasise expression,
and can create a basic
understanding of the
emotional state of the being
within the frame.

6. COWBOY SHOT
Cowboy shots got their
name for typically being
in western films. The
essence of the shot is to
create dominance and
power, to whom the shot
is being taken of.

7. MEDIUM SHOT
The medium shot shows some
what more detail of the subjects
appearance. A medium shot lies
between a long shot and a close
up. This shot can also suggest
body language. It is typically
used when the subject isnt using
a magnitude of expression;
therefore a close up isnt
necessary.

8. TWO SHOT
A two shot which has
two subject within the
frame. Typically this shot
is used to show the
relationship between two
subjects.

9. OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT
Over the shoulder shot is
typically used in
conversations to show what
the opposing subject
expression is. This may
stereotypically be used in an
intense and dramatic scene.

10. ARIEL SHOT
An ariel shot, also known as a
bird’s eye view shot, this
suggests a shot be taken from
a plane or helicopter. It can
also establish a location and/or
display the action which is
being taken place.

11. HONEY SHOT
A honey shot is a shot
which is expensive to
shoot but it is worth it.

12. TRACKING SHOT
A tracking shot is shot that follows a
subject, this informs the viewer of the
path/route that the subject is taking.

13. LIBRARY SHOT
A library shot is a shot
which is usually imported,
as it is difficult/too
expensive to shoot.
Examples of this would be
wild animals, or exotic
settings.

14. LOW ANGLE SHOT
A low angle shot is used to
make someone look
‘superior’. The low angle
creates a dominance theme,
which creates the illusion that
the subject is bigger than
what they are entailed to be.

15. SEQUENCE SHOT
A sequence shot is a shot which shows a
‘sequence’. It allows the viewer to see the
course of action. This creates the viewer
to have a full understanding of what is
going on in the scene.

16. MATTE SHOT
A matte shot is a shot
which incorporates the
background with the
foreground. They
combine two images to
create a final image.

17. DUTCH TILT
A dutch tilt is typically used in
films to create a disorientation
effect. This is created essentially
by tilting the camera to create a
‘kooky’ frame.

18. WHIP PAN
A whip pan is used to create a movement
effect. The blurriness of the shot represents
that the shot is in movement.

19. TILT SHOT
A tilt shot is shot which starts from
floor level and ends up shooting
straight upwards. This is typically used
at the end of films, as the shot carries
off into the sky.

20. ARC SHOT
An arc shot is a shot
which circles a subject,
to show all angles of
this particular object.
This can give the ready
a full understanding of
a subject.

21. BRIDGING SHOT
A bridging shot is a shot which
shows a change in
place/destination/time. This helps
inform the viewer that the scene
and setting has changed.

22. LONG SHOT
A long shot is used to determine
distance between the camera and the
subject within the frame. It can also
give the viewer knowledge of the scene
setting around the subject.

23. DEEP FOCUS
A deep focus shot allows
the viewer to only focus on
one specific aspect of the
shot and not get distracted
by anything which may be in
the background

24. DOLLY ZOOM
A dolly shot is a shot which
moves in towards a subject to
create an ‘uh oh’ effect. This can
vary from opposing ends of the
spectrum either representing
comedy, or intenseness.

25. ESTABLISHING SHOT
An establishing shot
does as it says; it
establishes a scene.
This gives the viewer
a quick flash of the
overall setting of the
place where the film
is being taken place.

26. HANDHELD SHOT
A handheld shot is a shot which looks as if someone
is taking the photo through holding the camera. This
gives a personal feel to the shot.

27. PAN
A pan shot shows
movement, this can have
features such as a blurry
image to give the effect of
movement.

28. STEADICAM SHOT
A steadicam shot is a
shot which is used
with a machine that
keeps the camera
steady, giving a
smooth feel.

29. TOP SHOT
A top shot is a shot
which is taken from
above, this makes the
person/persons in the
shot look less
dominant.

30. ZOOM
A zoom shot
focuses on one
particular thing,
and gives the
viewer the
intensive detail in
the shot.

31. CRANE SHOT
A crane shot allows the camera
to view a large area of land,
this gives the viewer a better
understanding of the
surrounding area.
