Camera Angles and Shots

Close-up: used to show emotion

Long Shot: to show a person in full focus
Extreme Long Shot: up to half a mile away, used to show setting
Low Angle Shot: to show a character as important, intimidating, powerful

High Angle Shot: to show a character is not as important, is a victim, is loved
Wide Angle Shot: shows the significant characters in a scene and links them to setting
Framing Shot: uses the setting/scenery to set a moment in a scene

Point of View: shows a scene through the eyes of a character or protagonist
Two Shot: shows two people in the shot, sometimes isn't purposefully clear, but can be used to show a       relationship between two characters

Establishing Shot:
                  indicates where the action will be, is usually outside
Master Shot:
                   used at the beginning and end of sections


I will need to use as many of these angles and shots in my preliminary task and final task as well as be able to analyse them when studying different media's.
