Camera Shots: There are different types of camera shots used for different
types of scenes.
Extreme Close-Up Shot:
An extreme close-up shot frames are subject very closely often so much that
the outer portion of the subject are cut off by the edges of the frame.
Close-Up Shot:
A close-up shot is a photograph or movie shot taken of a subject or object at
close range intended to show greater detail to the viewer.
Medium Close-Up Shot:
A medium close-up shot (or MCU) is a shot that frames the subject from just
above their head down to about midway on their upper half of the body.

Medium Shot:
A medium shot (also referred to as MS), or waist shot is captured at a medium
distance from the subject. It is used for dialogue scenes.
Medium Long Shot:
A medium long shot, also called medium full shot, is a shot that frames a
character around the knees and up.
Long Shot:
The long shot (also known as a wide shot, abbreviated WS) is the same idea,
but a bit closer. If our subject is a person, then his or her whole body will be in
view — but not filling the shot.
Establishing Shot:
An establishing shot is a shot in filmmaking or television that sets up the
context for the scene ahead, designed to inform the audience where the action
will be taking place.
Camera Angle: Camera angle mainly sets our point of view, for our viewers.

1)Eye Level Angle

When our subject is at eye-level they’re in a neutral point of view (not higher or
lower).

2)Low Angle
A low angle shot frames the subject from a low camera height looking up at
them.
3)High Angle
In a high angle shot, the camera points down at our subject. It usually creates a
feeling of inferiority, or “looking down” on your subject.

4)Hip Level Angle

A hip level shot is when our camera is roughly waist high.
5)Knee Level Angle
This is when our camera height is about as low as our subject’s knees. They can
show a character’s superiority, if paired with a low angle.
6)Ground Level
A ground level shot is when our camera’s height is on ground level with our
subject.
7)Shoulder Level
This is when your camera is roughly as high as your subject’s shoulders.
Shoulder level shots are much more standard than an eye level shot.
8)Dutch Level
For a Dutch angle (Dutch tilt), the
camera is slanted to one side. With
the horizon lines tilted in this way, we
can create a sense of disorientation
.
8)Overhead Angle
An overhead shot is from way up high, looking down on our subject and a good
amount of the scenery surrounding him or her. This can create a great sense of
scale and movement.

9)Aerial Angle
An aerial shot is a classic camera angle captured from an elevated vantage
point. Aerial photographs present a deeper understanding of the action
happening below from a bird's eye view.

Camera Movement: A camera movement is a filmmaking technique that

describes how a camera moves about to help enhance a story

Pan:
1) Moving the camera lens to one side or another. Panning involves first looking
to our left then to our right. 2) It can reveal parts of the scenery not seen
previously

Dolly:
1) It means motion towards or motion from. 2) Dolly-in means stepping towards
the subject with the camera 3) Dolly-out means stepping backwards with the
camera, keeping the zoom the same. 4) When the dolly moves toward the
subject, the viewer’s interest is increased. 5) Zooming the camera changes the
focal length of the lens, which can cause wide-angle distortion
Roll:
1) Roll means moving the camera on It’s sides. 2) This is a very rare movement,
and we should only use for very specific purposes.
Truck:
1) Trucking is like dollying, but it involves motion left or right. 2) Truck left
means "moving the camera physically to the left while maintaining its
perpendicular relationship.” 3) Trucking creates a feeling of observation or
inspection
Tilt:
1) Moving the camera’s lens up or down while keeping its horizontal axis
constant is known as tilt. Nodding our head up and down is tilting. 2) Tilt shots
can heighten an audiences’ suspense as they are not sure what the shot will
reveal.
Pedestal:
1) It means moving the camera up or down without changing its vertical or
horizontal axis. 2) Pedestal up means "moving the camera up;" 3) Pedestal
down means "moving the camera down." 4) We are not tilting the lens up,
rather we are moving the entire camera up.
Zoom:
1) Zooming involves changing the focal length of the lens to make the subject
appear closer or further away in the frame. 2) Zooming in could mean that the
scene is changing to reveal a character’s reaction. 3) Zooming out, shows that
the surroundings are becoming more of a focus in the story. 4) We use different
camera shots to replace zooms. Going from an establish shot to a medium shot
and then to a closeup will make for interesting video.
