This document discusses different types of shots and camera angles used in filmmaking. It defines framing as the placement of visual elements in an image, especially the subject in relation to other objects. It then describes various shot sizes from extreme long shots showing full-length figures to extreme close-ups focusing on small details like a person's mouth and eyes. Different common shots like two-shots, over the shoulder shots, and cut-ins are also outlined. The document concludes by explaining different camera angles including eye-level, low, high, bird's eye, and oblique angles and how each can be used to convey meaning, emotion, scale, and drama.

2. Introduction
When TAKING, or creating them yourself, you have
to think about important factors: The FRAMING of
the shot and the ANGLE of the shot.
When describing different cinematic shots,
different terms are used to indicate the amount of
subject matter contained within a frame, how far
away the camera is from the subject, and the
perspective of the viewer. Each different shot has a
different purpose and effect.

3. FRAMING:
SHOT AND ANGLE SIZES
Framing is the presentation of visual elements in an image,
especially the placement of the subject in relation to other
objects.
When taking a picture or making a film we focus on the size of
the human body and the angle or the point of view used.
