PPT on Types and Categories of Camera Shots, Angles, movements and compositions. A camera shot is composed of the series of frames that are shot uninterrupted from the moment the camera starts rolling until it stops. a camera movement is a filmmaking technique that describes how a camera moves about to help enhance a story.

4. What is a camera shot?

A camera shot is composed of the series
of _that are shot uninterrupted
from the moment the camera starts
rolling until it stops. Camera shots are
an essential aspect of
because by
combining different types of shots,
angles and camera movements, the
filmmakers are able to emphasize
specific
for each scene.

15. Panning is a camera movement where the camera pivots left or
right on a horizontal axis while its base remains in a fixed location.
A camera pan expands the audience's point of view by swiveling
on a fixed point, taking in a wider view as it turns.

Step your speed up a notch, and you get the whip pan, which is
handy for transitions showing the passing of time or travelling a
distance dramatically or comically.

16. 2.TILT

Tilting is a cinematographic technique in
which the camera stays in a fixed position but
rotates up/down in a vertical plane. Tilting
the camera results in a motion similar to
someone raising or lowering their head to
look up or down.

17. 3.ZOOM

‘Zooming’ is probably the most commonly used camera
movement, it lets you quickly move closer to the subject
without physically moving. The movement should be very
smooth when we are zooming the object.

18. 4.TRACKING SHOT

The most common type of tracking shot is one that follows a moving object as it
travels through space. It can be done along roads, down hallways, following
someone walking on either side of buildings and other structures for example.
Tracking shots will generally follow along the horizontal axis as the subject moves.
You're probably familiar with walking and talking scenes where a tracking shot stays
on the subjects as they move.Tracking shots are also helpful for showing a stretch of
road or scenery.

19. 5.FOLLOWING SHOT

The ‘following’ shot is a tracking shot in which the camera
continuously follows the subject’s action.

For asmooth, seamless following shot, Steadicams and gimbals
are your friends. Otherwise, shaky, handheld shots give a sense
of realism or unease.

Long following shots, if executed well, are genuinely impressive
and mesmerising cinematic feats.

20. 6.DOLLY SHOT

A ‘dolly shot’ is when the camera moves toward or away from the
subject you’re shooting. Instead of utilising the zoom to get
closer, the camera is physically moving relative to the subject.
Using a dolly to push in slowly helps build drama or tensionina
scene or simply some significance to the subject it’s moving in

on.

21. 7.Pedestal

Also known as a Boom up/down, our final shot is the pedestal. This
involves moving the camera up or down relative to a subject. It’s
different from the tilt that we looked at earlier, as the entire
camera ascends or descends, rather than just the camera’s angle.
A pedestal shot can be used to frame a tall or high subject (such
as a building) while keeping the framing at eye level
pedestal move is different to a camera tilt, which means the
camera is in the same position but tilts the angle of view up and

pedestal move is often a combination of moves..

23. TYPES OF CAMERA
ANGLE

24. Eye-LeveL
This is the most common view, being the real-world angle that we are all used
to. It shows subjects as we would expect to see them in real life. It is a fairly
neutral shot.

High Angle
A high angle shows the subject from above, i.e. the camera is angled down
towards the subject. This has the effect of diminishing the subject, making
them appear less powerful, less significant or even submissive.

Low Angle
This shows the subject from below, giving them the impression of being more
powerful or dominant.

25. Bird's Eye
The scene is shown from directly above. This is a completely
different and somewhat unnatural point of view which can be used
for dramatic effect or for showing a different spatial perspective.
In drama it can be used to show the positions and motions of
different characters and objects, enabling the viewer to see things
the characters can't.
The bird's-eye view is also very useful in sports, documentaries, etc.

Slanted

Also known as a dutch tilt, this is where the camera is purposely
tilted to one side so the horizon is on an angle. This creates an
interesting and dramatic effect.

26. CAMERA

COMPOSITION

27. ATIS
ERA

Composition is the language of
photography. How your
subjects appear relative to
each other, any additional
objects, and the background
communicates a lot to the
viewer

MPOSITION?

Composition in your shots can
often be difficult and it’s
always important. “Everything
can seem perfect: lighting,
location, wardrobe, styling,
whatever,” says photographer
Grace Rivera.

28. RULES
CAMERA

COMPOSITION.

1. BALANCE IMAGE

A balanced image doesn't necessarily look the same right-to-left or
side-to-side. Rather, the various quadrants of the image
complement each other in aesthetically pleasing ways. A viewer's

eye will likely scan the picture, looking for a point of interest and
something else in dialogue with that point

29. 2. Work with focus, and
depth of field

A photographer has to be aware of what’s in a shot and how they’re
focusing on it.Shallow depth of field can give the viewer the impressior
that they’re focused on something immediately in front of them, and it

provides a look of depth and scale, even in a flat photo.

30. 3.Find the right point of view.

Play with your spacing and distance from your subject.when you’re
composing a shot, keep in mind how the image is ultimately going to be
used. “There might be text that goes over an image, or it might be a
magazine cover. Allow for those potential extra elements when you’re
lining up the shot, and try to conceptualize them while you look
through your viewfinder.
