1. THE 11 CAMERA ANGLES
By Gaia

2. ESTABLISHING SHOT
This is the shot that
sets the scene for the
film. This shows us
what era ( horse and
carts on streets, old
houses etc.) or country
(landmarks: big ben
Eiffel tower etc.) the
film is going to take
place.

3. WIDE SHOT
The wide shot also
sets the scene but
may also introduces
the main
character/characters.

4. MEDIUM SHOT
A medium shot is
usually shot from the
actors waste up. This is
to show the character
more close-up but still
enough to see what they
are doing.

5. MEDIUM CLOSE-UP SHOT
A medium close-up, this is
when the actors seen from
the shoulders up. This is
used to capture the
emotion or facial
expression of the character.

6. EXTREME CLOSE-UP SHOT
An extreme shot gives
More emotion from the
character. Extreme close-
ups can also be on an
object to show that it is
particularly significant e.g.
a murder weapon in a
crime drama.

7. POINT OF VIEW SHOT
This shot is to make the
audience feel like they are in
the character’s shoes and see
things through their eyes.
This makes the audience
sympathise with the
character.

8. OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT
This angle is made to
make the audience feel
like they are there
interacting with the
character looking over
the shoulder.

there are two people in the shot.
Reverse shot this is when the
camera has shot of one person at
a time, this is used when two
people are having a conversation.

10. LOW ANGLE SHOT

the characters in the
shot look
important, strong
, powerful.

11. HIGH ANGLE SHOT
