Camera Shots
Extreme Wide Shot
- Where everything is going to happen
- The subject can't be located
- First shot in new scene
- Also known as extra long shot
- More useful in action scenes
Very Wide Shot
- The subject is only just visible
- Audience is shown the setting to orient themselves
- Has a lot of space for either more subjects or action
Wide Shot
- The subject is the main part
- The picture fits his body size
Mid Shot
- Shows subject with details
- Lower part isn't supposed to show
- How you look at someone most of the times
- Not meant for action scenes
Medium Close Up
- Middle of close up and medium shot
- Face with more detail and emphasis
- It's at an ok distance
Close Up Shot
- When the entire face takes up all the space
- Emphasizes on current feeling of subject
- Shows more descriptive facial features
Extreme Close Up
- Only shown at a specific time
- You can see every detail
- Can't determine what's his current feeling
Over the Shoulder Shot
- Looking at someone over the other person's shoulder
- Using the shoulder person's view
Point of View Shot
- Shows the subject's view
- POV shot need not be the strict point-of-view of subject
Camera Angles

High Angle
- Angle is marked above eyeline
- camera looks down on the subject
- Subject is more important than environment
Low Angle

- Make subject look and feel more dominant and powerful
- Trunk shot is another type of low angle shot
Bird's Eye View

- The perspective is very foreshortened making subject small
- Often used for theatric scenes
Slanted Angle
- Also known as Dutch tilt
- Camera is set at an angle on it's roll axis

- Creates new and clever scenes at this angle
Rule of Thirds

- Techniques say aligning a subject with these parts create more interest
