2. Camera shots and angles
The position of the camera and the composition
of the frame can create all sorts of effects.
The further away the camera is the more we see
in the frame. The closer the camera is the more
detail we see.
The height the camera is placed in relative to its
subject can make characters appear imposing or
submissive.
3. Extreme Long Shot
Often used at the start of a film
to establish the scene. Usually
an exterior shot, an extreme
long shot contains a large
amount of landscape. It is
commonly used in epics.
4. Long Shot
A shot taken from a
distance containing
some landscape.
5. Full Shot
Shows the entire object or
character. Often used to
display a costume or the
relationship between
characters.
6. Midshot
In between a full shot and
a close-up it shows most of
a subject’s body. It is one
of the most common shots.
7. Close-up
A close up contains just
the character’s face. It is
used to help convey the
emotion of the
character.
