Shots • Shot – a single piece of film uninterrupted by cuts. • Establishing shot – often a long shot, or a series of shots, that sets the scene. It is used to establish setting to show transitions between locations.
Framing • Long Shot • Medium Shot • Close Up • Extreme Close Up • Two Shot
Camera Angles • Eye Level – shot taken from normal height (90-95% of shots) • High Angle – camera is above the subject. This usually has the effect of making the subject look smaller than normal, giving him/her the appearance of being weak, powerless and trapped. • Low Angle – camera shoots from below.
Camera Movements • Pan – stationary camera that moves side to side. Panning is used to create a source of tension or to provide information. • Tilt – pivoting up or down along a vertical axis. • Zoom – stationary camera where the lens moves to make an object seem to move closer to or further away from the camera. Moving into a character is often a personal or revealing movement.
Camera Movements • Dolly/Tracking – camera is on a track that allows it to move with the action. It may be used to follow in front, behind, or next to a person as he walks/runs.
Boom/Crane – camera is on a crane over the action. This is used to create extreme high angle shots and overhead shots.
Sound • Diegetic: sound that would be logically heard by the characters in the film. • Internal Diegetic: what one character hears internally (heart beat, thoughts) that other characters in the film do not hear. • Non-Diegetic: sound that could not be heard by characters in the film, but is designed for audience reaction.
