Sent to G Teasdale via email before the lesson

2. CHALLENGE
You are to independently research the following camera
angles and movements and create a visual
representation, as well as a description of how the

3. CAMERA ANGLE: CLOSE UP
Image example:
How am I used in a film?
- A close up camera angle is used to let the audience feel and see the
emotions running through the character at that moment in time.

4. CAMERA ANGLE: ESTABLISHING
SHOT
Image example:
How am I used in a film?
- An establishing shot is used to show the audience where the location
of the scene is going to be. Usually a wide shot.

5. CAMERA ANGLE: EXTREME WIDE
SHOT
Image example:
How am I used in a film?
- The point of this shot is to just show the subject/characters
surroundings, the camera shot will be taken from so far away that the
subject/character is not visible to the audience.

6. CAMERA ANGLE: WIDE SHOT
Image example:
How am I used in a film?
- This camera angle is roughly the same as the extreme wide shot as
they’re both used to show the area around the subject/character
however they’re more visible.

7. CAMERA ANGLE: MID SHOT
Image example:
How am I used in a film?
- A mid shot moves even close then the wide show and now shows a
lot more of the subject focusing on portions of the body and less on
the surroundings, using this before a close up is a good transition for
the audience.

8. CAMERA ANGLE: MEDIUM CLOSE
UP
Image example:
How am I used in a film?
- A medium close up is a shot that isn’t a close up but isn't a mid shot,
the camera is placed comfortably without getting too close to the
characters face.

9. CAMERA ANGLE: EXTREME
CLOSE UP
Image example:
How am I used in a film?
- An extreme close up is used to create an intimate connection with the
audience and character that you wouldn’t get from afar feeling as
though you’re in their intimate space intensifying feelings and
emotions emphasizing the drama in the scene.

10. CAMERA ANGLE: CUTAWAY
Image example:
How am I used in a film?
- A cutaway camera angle is used in a film to have a sudden change in
a camera shot to a different viewing angle. Additionally can be used to
insert a shot between scenes as a transition. Also known as a bridging
shot

11. CAMERA ANGLE: TWO-SHOT
Image example:
How am I used in a film?
- A two shot is used when there’s two actors/characters in the same
shot, for example a love scene between a couple or a conversation
between two friends.

12. CAMERA ANGLE: OVER THE
SHOULDER
Image example:
How am I used in a film?
- Over the shoulder shot is usually used with the main character talking
to another actor. The over the shoulder shot is used so the audience
has the idea of seeing what the main character sees. this shot is used
when dialog is taking place

13. CAMERA ANGLE: POINT OF VIEW
(POV)
Image example:
How am I used in a film?
- This type of shot is used to show the audience exactly what the
character is seeing from their ‘point of view’. This is similar to the over
the shoulder shot just it might not be used in dialog and could be used
to show the character sprinting showing their feet as they run, or when
a character maybe using a computer.

14. CAMERA MOVEMENT: TRACKING
Image example:
How am I used in a film?
- A tracking camera movement shot is used in movies to track events
like car chases as the camera moves with the vehicle on a horizontal
frame.

15. CAMERA MOVEMENT: TILT
Image example:
How am I used in a film?
- The tilt camera movement is used in films for scenes such as moving
up a building ( in mission impossible 4 ). The camera follows the
building as it only moves up and down a frame, not side to side like the
tracking shot.

16. CAMERA MOVEMENT: ZOOM
Image example:
How am I used in a film?
- Zoom camera movements are used to enhance the emphasis on the
subject being filmed. For example a characters reaction to an event, the
camera will zoom into their face to show their emotions.

17. RULES OF FRAMING
Detailed explanation
- Within ‘framing’ there are many strategies behind it such as the rule
of three when you split the screen into nine boxes. However, there are
many more such as ‘headroom’, ‘looking room’ and ‘leading room’. For
example when using the leading room technique it is usually used
when a character is about to moving into space in front of them shown
in the frame. Framing also applies to the background of the shot, if the
items in the background take away the attention from the character? If
the items in the back will mess up the continuity of the video?
How am I used in a film?
- Framing is used to get every object/character wanted by the director
in the boundaries of the film.

19. THE RULES OF THIRD
Detailed explanation
- The rule of third is used in film production, its when a screen is split
up/divided into nine boxes creating points of reference later on used
by the editors and directors. For example the height of a building may
be 1/3 down the frame meaning the top of building shouldn’t pass
above the first three boxes.
How am I used in a film?
- The rule of third is used to pace an image in the right section of the
screen it will be shown on. For example the height of someone's eyes in
a shot.
