Practicing camera shots and angles

The first shot we did was a close up. This helps to capture a person's emotions and only features the character's head and shoulders. This can also be used in techniques such as eyeline match.

Next is our establishing shot. These are used to help set a scene for our audience so they know the general location. 

 

 

Extreme close ups are used to capture important detail and focus on a particular subject.

Long shots can be used to capture a character at distance. Their entire body should be able to fit into the shot for it to be classed as a long shot. The character is dominated by their surroundings.










We used a low angle shot to show dominance or power over the subject as it makes the character to appear bigger than they actually are.

A shot/reverse shot can be used to help show conversation between two people. It also helps to show a character's reaction to a line said by the other.

Tilt shots are used to show speed and movement as well as leaving the viewer unsettled.
