CAMERA WORK

Camera shots

Close up: Captures emotions and engages the audience to share this emotion.

Extreme close up: Very dramatic this may only show the actors/actress eyes. For example to show fear.

Point of view: This is a shot of what the actor/actress can see. This puts the audience into their shoes so that they can understand what they are feeling/seeing.

Long shot: This is when the audience can see the top of the actors/actress head to the bottom of their feet. Used to show body language.

Establishing shot: Used at the beginning of a scene showing the setting.

Mid shot: Most common shot. From the waist to the top of the head.

Angles

Birds eye view: Directly overhead, also used to set a scene and show the audience everything that is happening.

Low angle: Shows the subject from below looking up to it.

High angle: Shows the subject from looking down to it.

Canted angle: The camera is tilted to one side. This represent chaos in the scene.
