3. 1. CAMERA SHOTS There are 3 main types of shots that describe how near or how far the camera is from the subject: 1. Long shot. Extremely Long Shot 2. Medium shot. 3. Close-up shot. Extremely Close Shot • Any of these shots can show one subject or more at the same time.

4. LONG SHOTS A Long shot shows the whole subject: The Long shot is used to show the full human figure and provides a clear view of the environment or setting where we find the character.

5. Extremely Long Shot An extreme long shot is used to show landscapes or provide a view of a whole world eg : A city, a town, or even a galaxy where the story is set.

6. MEDIUM SHOTS A medium shot shows about half of the subject Medium shot shows the human body from mid-shin or mid-thigh up and is often used to show interaction between two or more character A medium shot shows the subject in relation to its immediate surroundings.

7. CLOSE UP SHOTS A close-up only shows one part of the subject, usually in great detail. Close-ups of “things” may help to clarify action

8. Extremely Close Shot A close-up or an extreme close-up, would include shots of a person’s face, or the paws of a dog walking down a path, of a hand on a doorbell, or a tree branch.

9. 2. CAMERA ANGLES In addition to camera shots, the camera angle is also important. The angle from which a shot is taken is another way to give variety as well as information. 1. High Angle 2. Eye-level 3. Low Angle 4. Reverse Angle 5. Oblique Angle

10. HIGH ANGLE A high angle shot positions the camera above eye-level, looking down on the subject, which consequently appears insignificant, weak, helpless, or small according to how extreme the angle is.

11. EYE- LEVEL ANGLE

12. LOW ANGLE A low angle shot has the camera looking up at the subject, which then appears important, powerful, or domineering, again depending on how exaggerated the angle is.

13. REVERSE ANGLE Usually the camera looks at the subject, but with reverse angle the camera shows what the subject is seeing The most common type of reverse angle it the “over the shoulder” shot

14. OBLIQUE ANGLE The oblique angle is shot by laterally tilting the camera frame and making the characters or objects look askew.

15. 3. CAMERA MOVEMENTS Another way to give television programs and films variety is for the camera to move. 1. Panning 2. Tracking 3. Elevating 4. Dollying 5. Tilting 6. Zooming In/Out

16. PANNING Panning refers to the rotation in a horizontal plane of a camera.

17. TRACKING When the camera changes its position by moving left or right..

18. ELEVATING when the camera changes its position by moving up or down.

19. DOLLYING Changing the camera’s position by moving it forward or backward.

20. TILTING When the camera stays in the same position but turns up or down .

21. ZOOMING IN/OUT Even when the camera is stationary it can appear to move closer to, or further from, it’s subject by using a special ring or lever on the lens.
