- 2. CAMERA SHOTS Establishing Definition Establishes setting of a scene, often giving viewer information about where scene is set. Can be range of distances from wide/ long shot of whole city roadie shot of a place in a city or shot of house or even close up of a sign.
- 3. CAMERA SHOTS Wide Definition This shot is wide and shows a large variety of information, like a panoramic photograph. Often, established shots are wide shots. Could be used in such situations to show everyone in room or at a dinner table.
- 4. CAMERA SHOTS Long Definition Framing of a character or subject of their whole body.
- 5. CAMERA SHOTS Mid/Medium Definition Framing of a character or subject of their torso (mostly torso and head but could be torso and legs)
- 6. CAMERA SHOTS Closeup Definition Framing of a character or subjects of some particular part of their body or object such as face, hand, details of an object like a plate.
- 7. CAMERA SHOTS Extremeclose up Definition A shot that is of a part of body or face to show extreme detail to audience to give them more information or detail about a character or object.
- 8. CAMERA SHOTS POV Definition Shows a view from the character’s perspective, edited in such a way that the audience are aware of who the character is (for example they would show a reverse shot of that character).
- 9. CAMERA SHOTS Overthe shoulder Definition A shot which is filmed as if it is from the back of a character’s shoulder. The character facing the subject usually occupies 1/3 of the frame but it could vary depending on purpose.
- 10. CAMERA SHOTS Two Definition Of two characters communicating, interacting or conversing. Usually to signify or show a relationship between the two characters. (Doesn’t always have to be humans)
- 11. CAMERA SHOTS Overhead Definition A type of camera shot in which the camera is placed above a character, action or object being filmed. Distances could vary. (like birds eye view)
- 12. CAMERA ANGLES High Definition An angle that taken from a higher place that looks down at character or subject, often used to make the character or subject appear smaller/ vulnerable/ weak etc.
- 13. CAMERA ANGLES Low Definition An angle that taken from a lower place that looks up at character or subject, often used to make the character or subject appear bigger/ more dominant/ powerful etc.
- 14. CAMERA ANGLES Canted/oblique Description Camera angle that makes what is shot to appear skewed or tilted, could be used to disorientate the audience.
- 15. CAMERA MOVEMENT Pan Definition When camera pivots horizontally either from left to right or right to left to reveal more information (reveal more of the setting for example) It can be used to give viewer a panoramic view, sometimes used to establish a scene that can't fit in one shot/ frame.
- 16. CAMERA MOVEMENT Tilt Definition When camera pivots vertically either from top to bottom or bottom to top to reveal more information (reveal more of a setting for example) It can be used to give viewer more information/ view about setting, objects, characters etc.
- 17. CAMERA MOVEMENT Track Definition Movement of camera that moved from side to side without a pivot to follow an object or character. Can include smooth movements from side to side, frontwards, backwards or even on a curve but cannot include complex movement around a subject.
- 18. CAMERA MOVEMENT Zoom Definition When the camera feature zoom goes in towards an object or character to reveal more significance or detail
- 19. CAMERA MOVEMENT ReverseZoom Definition Opposite of zoom. Often called 'zoom out'. When the camera feature zoom goes out away from an object or character to reveal more details/ setting around then. Speed of zoom can vary.
- 20. CAMERA MOVEMENT Dolly Definition When a camera moves in and out (not track and not zoom) or backwards and towards on an object called a dolly which is like a tripod with wheels.
- 21. COMPOSITION Symmetry Definition When the shot (or frame) is equally symmetrical or balanced on both sides. Both sides look nearly identical on both sides.
- 22. COMPOSITION Asymmetry Definition When the shot (or frame) is equally asymmetrical or unbalanced on both sides. Both sides look different on both sides.
- 23. COMPOSITION Balance Definition Balance is arranging elements so that no one part of a work overpowers, or seems heavier than any other part.
- 24. COMPOSITION Rule ofthirds Definition The rule of thirds is a guideline followed by some visual artists. The objective is to stop the subject(s) and areas of interest (such as the horizon) from bisecting the image, by placing them near one of the lines that would divide the image into three equal columns and rows, ideally near the intersection of those lines.
- 25. COMPOSITION Depth ofField Definition Depth of field (DOF) is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image. Although a lens can precisely focus at only one distance at a time, the decrease in sharpness is gradual on each side of the focused distance, so that within the DOF, the unsharpness is imperceptible under normal viewing conditions.
- 26. COMPOSITION Shallow focus Definition Shallow focus is a photographic and cinematographic technique incorporating a small depth of field.
- 27. COMPOSITION Deep focus Definition The opposite in shallow focus is deep focus, in which the entire image is in focus. Consequently, in deep focus the foreground, middle-ground and background are all in focus.
- 28. COMPOSISTION Focus Pulls Definition Focus pulls (AKA rack focus) is a creative camera technique in which you change focus during a shot. Usually this means adjusting the focus from one subject to another.
