  1. Lets review the types of Camera Shots

  2. Who can remember some of the camera shots? • Establishing shot • Long shot • Medium shot • Close-up • Extreme Close-up

  3. Establishing shot An establishing shot contains a large amount of landscape. It is often used at the beginning of a scene or a film to establish general location (setting).

  4. Long Shot A long shot gives the audience more detail about a scene. A long shot may show the audience the building where the action will take place.

  5. Medium Shot A medium shot is taken from the knees/waist up. From this shot, viewers can see the characters faces more clearly as well as their interaction with other characters. It can also be used during a conversation between two people.

  6. Close-up A close-up contains just one character’s face. This enables the audience to understand the actor’s emotions and also allows them to feel empathy for the character.

  7. Extreme Close-up An extreme close-up contains one part of a character’s face or other object. This technique is quite common in horror films and creates an intense mood.
