This document provides information about cinema theory and camera techniques used in filmmaking. It defines key concepts like camera shots, camera angles, and frames per second. It explains that camera shots are used to show different levels of detail and perspective, while camera angles are used to convey meaning and emotion. The document then categorizes and defines various common camera shots like long shot, medium close-up, and extreme close-up. It also defines types of camera angles such as eye level, low level, and Dutch angle. Directors use different shots and angles to emphasize characters or objects, control drama, and guide the viewer's perspective. The document includes examples and quizzes to help understand the application of these techniques.
Camera shots commonly used in movie making and what they are used for, with examples (pictures and gifs) of each given about the explanation, all from some good movies.

Film Language: Camera angles and shot size introduction for Film Studies. Als...Ian Moreno-Melgar
A long PDF that has been used to introduce GCSE Film Students to the complicated process of identifying and explaining the use of camera shot sizes and angles. This is a fairly detailed series of slides which I have used in school for a couple of classes now. As it is a PDF the clips do not play but where possible I've labelled what the film is. Similarly, as it was designed to be used in lessons the overall 'structure' is somewhat disjointed and is missing slides that includes answers or ideas that were discussed in lessons. In order to help where possible, I've included large versions of worksheets so that these can be clipped and printed out if necessary. Many thanks for taking a look and please feel free to take a look at my other uploads as you will find plenty there on other aspects of Film Studies.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

They are used to:
• Explain different moments of the story with
more/less details
• Make more dramatic scenes
• Give an emphasis to a specific object or
character.

ECU extreme close up
10. EXTREME LONG/WIDE SHOT (XLS)
LANDSCAPE/BACKGROUND CHARACTERS WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
The landscape ocuppies almost all
the shot, but we perceive not many
details. It shows weather, moment
of the day, season…
The characters are very small, we
just see their outlines, not details.
We see their full bodies. We can’t
hear their conversation.
It’s used to place characters in an
environment and to make the
character distant or unfamiliar to
the viewer. It can be a transitional
shot. It can show movement.
12. LONG/WIDE SHOT (LS/WS)
LANDSCAPE/BACKGROUND CHARACTERS WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
The landscape ocuppies a big
part of the shot, but we
perceive more details: house,
trees…
The characters are small
compared to the environment
around. We perceive their
complete outline and general
details.
It’s used to bring the viewer
closer to the characters’ daily
life or action.
14. FULL SHOT (FS)
LANDSCAPE/BACKGROUND CHARACTERS WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
The landscape occupies more
than half part of the shot. We
see more details (doors,
materials…) and those details
are important for the scene
The characters occupy the
frame from the feet to the
head. We see
clothes/hair/tools details
It is used to start a scene, to
show how many characters
participate in it and their
body postures
15. MEDIUM LONG/WIDE SHOT (MLS/MWS)
LANDSCAPE/BACKGROUND CHARACTERS WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
16. MEDIUM LONG/WIDE SHOT (MLS/MWS)
LANDSCAPE/BACKGROUND CHARACTERS WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
The landscape occupies more
than half part of the shot. We
see more details (doors,
materials…)
The characters occupy the
frame from the knees to the
head. We can start to connect
to their feelings
It’s used to make the viewer
pay more attention to the
character’s face/hands
18. MEDIUM SHOT (MS)
LANDSCAPE/BACKGROUND CHARACTERS WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
The landscape occupies half
part of the shot. It becomes
blurred.
The characters occupy the
frame from the hips/waist to
the head
It’s used to make the viewer
pay more attention to the
character’s face/hands and
their interaction or emotions
19. MEDIUM CLOSE UP (MCU)
LANDSCAPE/BACKGROUND CHARACTERS WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
20. MEDIUM CLOSE UP (MCU)
LANDSCAPE/BACKGROUND CHARACTERS WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
The background occupies half
part of the shot. It is blurred.
The characters occupy the
frame from the chest to the
head
The scene is focused on the
face expression more than in
action. It’s often used to show
the conversation between
two characters
22. CLOSE UP (CU)
LANDSCAPE/BACKGROUND CHARACTERS WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
The background occupies less
than half part of the shot. It is
blurred.
We just see the head of the
characters and it’s usually cut.
The scene is totally focused
on the face expresion
It’s used to make a
conversation more dramatic
23. EXTREME CLOSE UP (ECU)
LANDSCAPE/BACKGROUND CHARACTERS WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
24. EXTREME CLOSE UP (ECU)
LANDSCAPE/BACKGROUND CHARACTERS WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
The background occupies just
a little part of the shot. It is
blurred or totally disappear
We just see a small part of
the character/object: a foot,
an eye…
It shows details of objects or
emotions of the characters
that are very important to the
story
25. TYPES OF CAMERA ANGLE
Eye Level Shot Low Level Shot High Level Shot
Ground Level Shot Dutch Angle
Bird’s Eye Shot
26. TYPES OF CAMERA ANGLES
TYPE OF ANGLE CAMERA POSITION WHAT IS IT USED
FOR?
EYE LEVEL
LOW LEVEL
HIGH LEVEL
GROUND LEVEL
BIRD’S EYE
DUTCH ANGLE
28. EYE LEVEL SHOT
CAMERA POSITION WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
The camera is at the same level of the
character’s EYES, so the scene looks natural
It’s used to connect the viewer with the
character and their facial expressions. It’s not
used with a dramatic purpose. It makes the
spectator take a part in the scene.
30. LOW LEVEL SHOT
CAMERA POSITION WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
The camera is LOWER than the characters. It
seems to be recorded by a child or an object.
This angle shows the bodies and backgrounds
It’s used to show how powerful or
intimidating the characters are at a moment
32. HIGH LEVEL SHOT
CAMERA POSITION WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
The camera is HIGHER than the characters so
we can see their face better than their body.
The background takes some importance
It’s used to show how weak/fragile the
characters are at a moment. There is a threat
or intimidation and a facial reaction to that.
34. GROUND LEVEL SHOT
CAMERA POSITION WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
The camera is on the GROUND It’s usually used to show a character walking,
specially if we haven’t seen his/her face yet. It
can be used as a short transitional scene
where we get to know some details about
their routines, outfit… It’s an enthrilling shot.
36. BIRD’S EYE SHOT
CAMERA POSITION WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
The camera is ABOVE the characters,
perpendicular to he ground. Not a natural
point of view. It doesn’t allow for much detail
about the characters
It’s used to show how small characters are or
to give an idea of the environment where
they are placed. It also can show crowds. It
can mark the end of a sequence.
38. DUTCH ANGLE SHOT
CAMERA POSITION WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
The camera is inclined respect to the
horizontal line (around 25-45 degrees)
It’s used to give more tension to a scene. The
character doesn’t look at the camera, but to
an object or person that shocks them
somehow
