Establishing shot An establishing

shot is usually the first shot of a new science, the purpose is to show the audience where the action is taking place. It is usually a very wide shot or extreme wide shot

Wide shot In a Wide shot

the subject always takes up the full frame. the purpose is so that nothing can be out and everything is included.

Medium shot

Medium shot shows only some part of the subject it is often used because it shows more details and it's a closer shot.

Close up

In a close up shot most of the the frame takes up a certain object. There purpose is to show specific details very clearly.

Extreme close up

Extreme close up is a shot that gets right in and shows extreme details.

POV (point of view) POV is a shot that

shows the view from a persons perspective. So that the audience can see the exact sight that a person sees

Over the shoulder Over the shoulder shot

is always taken behind a person who is looking at the subject. The purpose is to establish the position of each person

Two shot

Two shot is a good imagine that mostly includes two people, this shot is often used in interviews or when two presenters are hosting a shot.

Over head shot

A over head shot is taken above a persons perspective, this also shows the audience more of the view from the top.

CAM angles Low angles High angles Canted/oblique angle

High angle

High angles show the subjects from above, this also makes them appear less powerful and less significant

Low angle

Low angle shots are taken from below

which makes the subject look more powerful and dominant as they appear bigger

Oblique/canted angle

Canted/oblique angle are when the camera is not placed horizontal to the floor level and they are used to take point of view shots

CAM MOVEMENTS Pan Tikt Track Zoom Reverse zoom Dolly

Pan Pans is a movement which scans a scene

horizontally. This is done by placing the camera on a tripod which operates as a stationary axis point ,as the camera is turned , it follows a moving object which is kept in the middle of the frame.

Tilt

This is a movement which is similar to a pan, however it films vertically.

Track A track is used to film every move

and adjust to the speed of what it is filming.

zoom

Zooming is used so that the audience can take a closer look at what they are viewing

Reverse zoom

This is when you reverse the zooming and the object gets smaller but the whole image gets bigger.

Dolly

A dolly is a cart which travels along with the tracks.this is where the camera is placed and it records the shot as it moves.

Composition

Symmetry Balance Asymmetry Rules of thirds Shallow focus Deep focus Focus pulls

Symmetry

Symmetry adds stability when your in the progress of filming/taking a picture. And makes sure it isn't wonky

Rules of thirds This is used to improve

the composition and balance of your images, making them more interesting and dynamic.

Shallow focus

Shallow focus is mostly used to isolate a certain focal plane and leave the rest a bit blurry.

Deep focus

This is used for a viewer to see the specific detail very close and clear.

Focus pulls The focus pull is useful for directing the

viewer's attention. So the focus pulls on one thing to make it clearer and then it focuses to another thing.
