The document discusses different types of camera shots and angles used in filmmaking, including their purposes. It describes establishing shots, which set the scene; wide shots, which show more detail; and medium shots, close-ups, and extreme close-ups, which show increasing levels of detail on characters or objects. It also covers point-of-view shots, over-the-shoulder shots, two shots, overhead shots, high and low angles, panning, tilting, tracking, zooming, symmetry and asymmetry, and other compositional techniques. The goal of these various techniques is to provide information, set tone, and direct audience attention in different ways.

3. 
Establishing shot is a setting of a scenery so
normally its where the scene is set. The purpose
of this is to let the audience where the set is
based.

4. 
A wide shot shows a lot of information and the
most of the scene. The purpose for this is to see
more detail and information .

5. 
It shows the entire object or the character. The
purpose for this is to see the action of the
character or the object.

6. 
Medium shot is normally from the torso and upwards
but sometimes it can be from the torso to their legs. The
purpose of this is so you can pay attention to the
character because they are normally speaking.

7. 
A close up is when you can see the object or the
character really clear and close. The purpose of
this is to see the detail of the object or the
characters facial expression.

8. 
Extreme close up is a tight shot so you can see
every detail so for example an eye. The
purpose for this is to see every detail.

9. 
A POV shot is when you see a view of what
they are seeing. The purpose of this is so that it
gives you a good understanding of how the
person is feeling and how the atmosphere is
around them.

10. 
Over the shoulder shot is when the camera is place on
the shoulder and the character facing the frame is
normally 1/3 of the frame but it depends on the
purpose. The purpose of this is to show how much
authority the character has.

11. 
Two shot is when there is two characters in the
shot either communicating, interacting or
conversing. The purpose of this is to see the
relationship between the two characters.

12. 
Overhead shot is when you’re looking down at the
character because the camera is placed above. This is
normally so that you can see what the character is
doing so it’s a bird’s eye view.

14. 
High angle shot are taken from a higher place to look
down on the characters or subject. The purpose for this
is to make the characters look vulnerable, smaller and
weak.

15. 
Low angle shot is when the camera is placed lower
down so that its looks up on the characters or the
subject. The reason for this is to show how much
power, bigger and more dominant the characters are.

16. 
Canted or oblique angel is what makes the shot
appear slanted or tilted. The reason for this is
to confuse the audience.

18. 
Pan is when the camera is pivot horizontal left
or right. This is to reveal more information of
the scene and to see more of the view.

19. 
Tilt is the opposite pan so it’s when pivots
vertically up or down. This is to reveal more
information about the character, object or
setting. Mostly to reveal the outfit of the
character.

20. 
Track is when the camera is on a machine that
moves side to side, forwards, backwards or
even curved. This is to keep it steady and
smooth and to get shots that are really fast.

21. 
Zoom is when the camera goes in toward the
object or the characters. This is so you can get a
better vision and more detail.

22. 
Reverse zoom is the opposite to zoom so when
the camera goes away from the character or the
object. The reason for this so that it can reveal
more detail and reveal more of the setting
around them.

23. 
Dolly is when the camera moves in or out so it
moves forwards or backwards on a tripod with
wheels. The purpose for this is to create an
atmosphere.

25. 
Symmetry balance is when the shot has equally
symmetrical balance on both sides. This shows
organisation or order.

26. 
Asymmetry balance is when the shot is
unequal or unbalanced so both sides look
different. This is to show the disorder.

27. 
Rule of third is divided up into nine parts by two
equally horizontal lines and two equally vertical lines.
The compositional elements should be along them two
lines. The reason for this it makes it more interesting
and detailed.

28. 
Shallow focus is when the camera is focused on one
objected and the rest is blurred out. The purpose of this
is to emphasize one part of the image than the rest.

29. 
Deep focus is the opposite to shallow so it’s
when the camera is focused on everything in
the frame. The reason for this is that everything
in the frame is important.

30. 
Focus pull is when the camera is focused on one object or
character then it fades and moves onto another object or character.
This means that the other objects is not important no more so the
focus is on the other object because its more important.
