My practice shots and descriptions.

1. Shot types and descriptions

2. Medium mid shot
Shows some part of the subject in more detail
while still giving an impression of the whole
subject.

3. Medium close up
• This shot is halfway between a medium shot and a
close up,showing a persons head and shoulders.

4. Close up
• A certain feature or part of the subject takes up the whole
frame.

5. Extreme close up
• The ECU gets right in and shows extreme detail.

6. Medium long shot
• Frames the whole subject from the knees up.

7. High angle shot
• In film, a high angle shot is usually when the camera angle is
located above the eyeline. With this type of angle, the camera
looks down on the subject and the point of focus often get
"swallowed up" by the setting.

8. Low angle shot
• In cinematography, a low-angle shot, is a shot from a camera
angle positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the
eyeline, looking up. The trunk shot is a specialized type of
low-angle shot.

9. Tilted Frame
• A type of camera shot where the camera is set at an angle on
its roll axis so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at
an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of
the shot is not parallel with the bottom of the camera frame.

10. Over shoulder shot
• A shot whereby the camera is looking from behind a person at
the subject.

11. Two shot
• A shot of two people,framed similarly to a mid
shot.

12. Very long shot
• An very long shot is a view from an even greater distance, in
which people appear as small dots in the landscape if at all
(eg. a shot of New York's skyline).

13. Long shot
• Shows the entire object or human figure and is usually
intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings

14. A photograph with connotations of
friendship.

15. A photograph with connotations of
stress
