The document discusses different types of basic camera shots and angles used to tell visual stories, including: - Extreme close-up (ECU), close-up (CU), medium shot (MS), long shot (LS), and establishing shot (ES) - Birdseye, wormseye, first person, and over the shoulder shots - How camera angles can set the mood by shooting up at or down on a subject - Oblique angles that seem unsettling, and reaction shots that show a subject's response - The rule of thirds for composition, avoiding centering the subject.

1. Camera Angles and Moves
Telling the story with your shots

2. Basic Camera Shots
KEY VOCAB body part
ECU - Extreme close up (one WORDS IN like an eye or close object)
BOLD
CU - Close up ( face shot or very close)
MS - Medium Shot (head and shoulders and part of torso)
LS - Long Shot (full body shot)
ES - Establishing shot (sets up the location of the scene or story)
TS - Two Shot - A shot with two people in it

3. Basic Camera Shots
Birdseye - Show from way up
above
Wormseye - Shot up at someone
from a very low angle
1st Person - From the talent’s
perspective
Over the Shoulder - Shot from
behind over their shoulder

5. LONG SHOT, ESTABLISHING SHOT, TWO SHOT

6. Camera angles set
the mood
Shot up at someone - they look powerful
Shot down at someone - they look weak

8. Camera angles set up
the story
Oblique - at an odd angle that is upsetting to the viewer. Usually
slightly tilted with lines (floor, tile, walls) that are at odd angle.
Reaction shot - A shot that shows subject’s facial expression during
or after something dramatic happens.

9. `
Rule of thirds - You
divide your shot with
imaginary tic-tac-toe grid.
Line up major things like
eyes on where the lines
cross.
Avoid putting major star
right in middle.
This gives lead room to
talk into to move into

Step 2 - you and your partner take a shot of each of the
14 camera shots listed in bold from the lecture. You
may take pictures in the classroom or the parking lot
area right outside the room. YOU MUST HAVE A
WRITTEN CHECKLIST OF SHOTS BEFORE YOU MAY
GO SHOOT!
Your Assignment
Step 3 - Put them in a Keynote and label them - each
one of the group members need to do their own
Keynote!
Step 4 - Use the Inspector in Keynote (blue i) to add
transitions and effects
Step 5 - Add transitions to every slide. Then save and
turn in to server
