  1. The Shot Cinematography

  2. Cinematography • Photographic aspects • Film stock • Color and tonality • Speed of motion • Camera perspective (lenses) • Framing and Aspect Ratio • Camera angle and distance • Mobile framing • Duration—the long take

  3. Camera Perspective • Focal length and depth of field • Lens types: • Wide angle (short focal length) • Large angle of view and depth of field • Normal (middle focal length) • Telephoto (long focal length) • Smaller angle of view and depth of field; flattening • Zoom • Variable focal length creates illusion of camera movement

  4. Special Effects • Rear Projection • Front Projection • Mattes and Travelling Mattes • Digital Manipulation

  5. Framing • Aspect Ratio • Academy Ratio (1.37:1) • Widescreen (1.85:1; 1.66:1;2.2:1) • Hard Matte • Anamorphic (Scope) Lens (2.40:1) • Onscreen and Offscreen Space

  6. Camera Distance • Shot (basic unit of film: footage exposed from the time the camera is turned on to the time it is turned off) • Long shot (ELS, LS, MLS) • Establishing shot • Medium shot (American shot) • Close up (MCU, CU, ECU)

  7. Camera Angle • Low • Medium • High • Crane (Bird’s Eye) • Canted

  8. Mobile Framing • Pan and tilt • Dolly/tracking • Boom/crane

  9. Camera Movement (Functions) • Give the viewer the best view • Reveal action (enlarge perspective) • Emphasize detail (concentrate perspective) • Create drama and excitement • Convey ideas and emotions

  10. Duration • The long take • Holding the image for seconds or minutes • Camera stationary or nearly so • Lengthening the shot while varying the image • Constantly moving camera • Supported by use of the steadicam and robotic cameras
