This document discusses different camera shots, angles, movements, and compositional techniques used in filmmaking. It describes shots like establishing shots, close-ups, and two shots. It covers camera angles like high, low, and canted angles. Camera movements such as pans, tilts, tracks, and zooms are outlined. Finally, compositional techniques including balance, symmetry, asymmetry, and the rule of thirds are examined.

3. Part A: Camera Shots
- Establishing shots
A range of distances, establishes the setting.

4. Part A: Camera Shots
- Wide shot
Shows a large variety of information.

5. Part A: Camera Shots
- Long shot
Framing a character or subject of
their whole body .

6. Part A: Camera Shots
- Mid/medium shot
Framing a character or
subject of their
torso.

7. Part A: Camera Shots
- Close up
shot
A part of a
body or
object in
closer
detail.

8. Part A: Camera Shots
- Extreme close up shot
Part of a body or face to show extreme detail.

9. Part A: Camera Shots
- Point of view
When a camera is
moving with the
body.

10. Part A: Camera Shots
- Over the shoulder
shot
Filmed as if it is from
the back of a
characters shoulder.

11. Part A: Camera Shots
- Two shot
Two characters communicating.

12. Part A: Camera Shots
- Overhead shot
The camera is
placed above a
character,
action or
object.

13. Part B:Camera angles
- High
- Low
- Canted

14. Part B:Camera angles
- Low angle
Low to the ground that looks up to the character
or object.

15. Part B:Camera angles
- High angle
Angle taken from a
higher place
looking down on
the character or
object.

16. Part B:Camera angles
- Canted/oblique
Camera shot made
to look tilted.

17. Part C:Camera movement
- Pan
- Tilt
- Track
- Zoom
- Reverse
- Dolly
- Crane
- Stedicam
- vertigo

18. Part C:Camera movement
- Pan
Camera pivots horizontally, either left or right.

19. Part C:Camera movement
- Tilt
Camera pivots vertically either top to bottom.

20. Part C:Camera movement
- Track
Moves side to side but does not pivot.

21. Part C:Camera movement
- Zoom
When you zoom in.

22. Part C:Camera movement
- Reverse zoom
Coming out of the zoom.

23. Part C:Camera movement
- Dolly
Camera moves in and out on a tripod on wheels
but stays steady.

24. Part D:Composition
- Balance
- Symmetry
- Asymmetry
- Rule of thirds
- Depth of field
- Shallow focus
- Deep focus

25. Part D:Composition
- Balance
Symmetrical on
both sides.

26. Part D:Composition
- Symmetry
Same on both
sides to
show order.

27. Part D:Composition
- Asymmetry
Unbalanced on both sides.

28. Part D:Composition
- Rule of thirds
Visual arts. Enables
better energy and
tension.

29. Part D:Composition
- Depth of field
The distance
which is in
focus.

30. Part D:Composition
- Shallow focus
Emphasizes one
part of an
image over
another.

31. Part D:Composition
- Deep focus
See the foreground,
middle-ground and
background.
