This document defines various camera shots and techniques used in filmmaking. It provides descriptions of common shots like establishing shots, wide shots, close-ups, and point-of-view shots. It also explains compositional techniques such as balance, symmetry, asymmetry, and the rule of thirds. Finally, it discusses techniques for manipulating focus, including depth of field, shallow focus, deep focus, and focus pulls.
This was a task given by my teacher in Media studies session. Here is a presentation about the Camera Angles and Camera Movements. I have taken those pictures on my own to show the different camera angles.
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.
A Complete Guide to Manual DSLR PhotographyLearnPick
It’s a commonly known fact that most beginner photographers use the auto mode on their DSLR cameras to click snapshots in the best possible manner.
It’s a fair enough practice; there’s no denying this fact but, at the same time, you must also remember that the auto mode of a DSLR doesn’t use the camera to its full potential.
So if you are willing to step out of your comfort zone to the "manual” mode, this presentation can help.

In the second session of this 5 session workshop, I am going to explain the photography gear (lens) with special focus on focal length and maximum aperture. Then we will discuss about the introduction of exposure in photography.

Camera shots, Angles, Movement and Composition final
1.
2.
3. ESTABLISHING
SHOT
This establishes the setting
of a scene.
The range of distance is to
establish where the scene
is set.
Eg. London, Harlesden.
Its usually at the beginning
of a scene to make it clear
to the audience about the
setting.
4. WIDE SHOT
A wide shot is large, and shows a
variety of information like a
panoramic photograph.
They can be used to show everyone
in a room, or sitting at a table.
5. LONG SHOT
Framing of a character/subject.
It includes the whole body.
(Action; Walking, Running.)
6. MID/MEDIUM
SHOT
This is the framing of a
character (subject of their
torso).
It’s used to show facial
expression, body language,
and gesture.
Mostly used for dialogue.
7. CLOSE UP SHOT
Framing a character or
subject.
Shows detail.
Shows some particular part
of their body such as their
hand, face, or an object.
Eg. A plate.
8. EXTREME
CLOSE UP
SHOT
Is a shot that is a part of
the body, face or subject,
showing extreme detail
to provide more
information.
POV (Point of View)
9. POV (Point of View)
Shows the view from the
characters perspective.
Dependant on cameras imitation of
body and movement.
It is edited in a way that the
audience know who the character
is.
10. OVER THE
SHOULDER SHOT
It’s filmed as though it is from the
back of the characters shoulder.
The subject character usually
takes up to 1/3 of the shot
depending on the purpose.
Other times they usually take up
¼, depending on how inferior the
subject is.
11. TWO SHOT
A shot showing two characters
communicating, interacting or
conversing.
12. OVERHEAD
SHOT
A type of Camera Shot in
which the camera is
placed above the
character, person or
object being filmed.
Birdseye view.
13.
14. LOW ANGLE
This is taken from a Lower place
looking up at the character/subject.
It usually is used to make the
character, subject appear bigger,
more powerful or dominant.
15. HIGH ANGLE
An angle taken from a higher
place that looks down on the
character.
Its often used to make the
subject appear smaller,
vulnerable, and weak.
16. CANNED/OBLIQUE
A camera angle used to make the
shot appear disorientated, or tilted.
Often used to unbalance the
audience.
19. TILT
Opposite to Pan.
When the camera
tilts vertically to
reveal more
information about a
setting.
It can often be used
to give the viewer
more information
about objects or
characters.
Often used to
reveal the outfit of a
character.
20. TRACK
The movement of
the camera that
moves side to side
without a pivot to
follow (track) an
object or character.
‘Track’ refers to
rails which a
wheeled platform
(that the camera
rests on) is used to
carry out smooth
movement.
21. ZOOM
When the zoom
(camera feature)
moves in on a
character or object, to
show more detail.
The speed of the
zoom can vary.
22. REVERSE
ZOOM
This is the opposite of
zoom. It is more
commonly known as
‘zoom out’.
When the zoom moves
away from a character or
object to reveal more
details about their
surroundings or settings.
The speed of zoom can
vary.
23.
24. BALANCE
Balance is the composition of elements
so that they are even. No one part is over
powering the other.
There are three different kinds of
balance. Symmetrical, Asymmetrical &
Radial.
The human body is an example of
symmetrical balance. The asymmetrical
balance is that the human body doesn’t
weigh the same on both sides. An
example of radial balance is equality in
length. Eg. The sun.
25. SYMMETRY
Symmetry is when the
shot is Symmetrical
(equally balanced on
both sides.) Both sides
look almost identical.
26. ASYMMETRY
Asymmetry is when the
shot is asymmetrical
(unbalanced on both
sides.) This affect is
often used in filming to
show chaos or
disorder.
27. RULE OF THIRDS
The rule of thirds is a
compositional rule in visual arts.
Eg. Painting, Photography, etc.
The rule states that an image
should be imagined as divided
into nine equal parts by two
equally spaced horizontal lines
and two equally spaced vertical
lines.
28. DEPTH
OF FIELD
The Depth of
Field (DOF) is
the distance of
what is in focus.
It’s the distance
the nearest and
closest object
within a scene
that appear
sharp in an
image.
29. SHALLOW
FOCUS
Shallow focus is a
photographic and
cinematographic method
including a small depth of
field.
In shallow focus, one side
of the image in focus,
whereas the remainder is
out of focus.
It’s typically used to
accentuate one part of the
image over another.
30. DEEP
FOCUS
Deep focus is the
opposite of shallow
focus. It is where
the entire image is
in focus.
This results in the
foreground, middle
ground and
background being
in focus.
31. FOCUS
PULLS
Focus pulls in
otherwise known as
(Rack Focus.) It’s a
camera technique
that changes the
focus during the
shot.
This usually means
adjusting the focus
from one focus to
another.
