There are lots of shot types that are used in each movies or videos; for example: medium

shot, low angle shots or short range/close shots. Each of them represents different meaning
in the mise en scene.

Short range/close ups are used to represent the character feelings/emotions in the certain
scene and the face zoom tells the recipient that someone is important, needs more focus on
right now.

Low angle shots are used to represent someone’s almighty over the others. Those types of
shots may be used to see a “God” or a rich person, which achieved much more that an
average human.

The long shots are used to represent the whole product – designer may use the long shots
to show the customer the perspective of artwork he had made, possible the beautiful setting
in the game or show the basic setting where the play is; this is used for strong and keep up
the ideas the designer is trying push recipient to.

Medium shots, however in most cases are used to represent the conversation between two
characters or focus on the one certain character but not so much as the Short-range shot.

The High angle or bird shot is used for the idea of a God or the sense of power through the
shot. The recipient is pushed to feel the power of its own

Mise en Scene is French for “everything in the scene”. This includes the objects such as
barrel, random garden stuff or kids’ books – all these random stuffs are put in the shot for a
purpose even if it is not seeming for the recipient. There are lots of codes in this technique
such as costumes, make up and lighting.

The 180-degree rule is a combination of two shot types: medium shot and close ups. The
technique is very often used in movies to represent two man (or more) in a conversation.
The camera is on one side of the characters. Additionally, the 180-degree rule can be
broken to create a nicely effect for the video

The Parallel Editing (Also called Cross Cutting) is a technique which shows the recipient two
or more scenes which are happening in the same time. They are used to happen
simultaneously but in different locations.

Match on Action is a technique which uses shot cuts in the video which changes to another
point of view on the scene which matches the previous one.

Montage is a short video that represents quick actions of the character(s) in the scene. The
technique is used to represent what is happening in the whole scene in the quickest possible
way it is possible, keeping the recipient interested in the video.

I have used 4 out of 5 of the techniques which are: Montage, The Parallel Editing, Match on
Action and the 180-degree rule.

I have used the technique “Match on Action” to record the video “Silent Film” for my Weebly
website. Me and my friends had created a short story about how Alex is helping Luke to do
certain things such as walking down the stairs or tying his shoes.

Additionally, we have used a 180-degree rule in the video example for this technique. Me
and Alex sat looking at each other and the camera did change its position from the middle to
my shoulder’s point of view and then Alex’s

Furthermore, Montage has been used in my latest video where Rhys was recording myself
on my daily things such as waking up in the elevator, going to school and getting ready for a
lesson. Each scene has been catted to 2-4-second-long for the montage technique,
representing the whole process.

We have used the technique “Parallel Editing” in the video “The Pursuit” to show 2 different
points of view; Rhys’ and mine as we were waiting for and elevator and the time we spend
inside. On the other hand, the point of view of Alex and Emily: They were running down the
stairs to catch us.
