Shot lists
Close up shot
of the girl before she walks into the alley before the park - this shows the
facial expression of her. At this point she is normal as she does not realise
she is being stalked
A long shot of
the girl going further into the walkway. This shows how far she is going
implying that she is going further away from safety.
A close up of a
man’s legs facing towards the girl - she is oblivious to him being there.
A tracking shot
of the man following her in the walk way.
Camera Shots
Depth of Field-
the distance between the nearest and the furthest objects giving a focused
image
Shallow Focus-
a photographic and cinematographic technique incorporating a small depth of
field. In shallow focus one plane of the image is in focus while the rest is
out of focus. Shallow focus is typically used to emphasize one part of the
image over another
Deep Focus-a
photographic and cinematographic technique using a large depth of field. Depth
of field is the front-to-back range of focus in an image — that is, how much of
it appears sharp and clear. In deep focus the foreground, middleground and
background are all in focus
Shot Lengths
Extreme Long
Shot- In film, a view of a scene that is shot from a considerable distance, so
that people appear as indistinct shapes. An extreme long shot is a view from an
even greater distance, in which people appear as small dots in the landscape if
at all (eg. a shot of New York's skyline).
Long & Wide
Shots- In filmmaking and video production, a long shot (sometimes referred to
as a full shot or, and to remove ambiguity it will be called a, wide shot)
typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to
place it in some relation to its surroundings.
Mid or Medium
Shot-a camera angle shot from a medium distance.
Close-up Shot-
A close-up or close up in filmmaking, television production, still photography
and the comic strip medium is a type of shot, which tightly frames a person or
an object. Close-ups are one of the standard shots used regularly with medium
shots and long shots
Extreme
Close-up Shot-An extreme close up is a shot used in filmmaking, television
production and photography in which the camera focuses on a particular detail
of the subject. Extreme close ups are extremely intimate.
Camera Angles
The
'Bird's-Eye' view- is an elevated view of an object from above with a
perspective as though the observer were birds, this is often used in the making
of maps and aerial views.
High Angle-A high-angle
shot is a cinematic technique where the camera looks down on the subject from a
high angle and the point of focus often gets "swallowed up."
High-angle shots can make the subject seem vulnerable
Eye- Level-A
Viewpoint is the apparent distance and angle from which the camera views and
records the subject. They also include the eye-level camera angle and the point
of view shot. A high-angle shot (HA) is a shot in which the camera is
physically higher than the subject and is looking down upon the subject.
Low Angle-In
cinematography, a low-angle shot, is a shot from a camera angle positioned lo
on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eye line, looking up. Sometimes, it is
even directly below the subject's feet. Psychologically, the effect of the
low-angle shot is that it makes the subject look strong and powerful.
Camera Movement
Zooming- The
camera is mounted on a cart which travels along tracks for a very smooth
movement. Also known as a tracking shot or trucking shot. Dolly Zoom.
Panning- In
cinematography, panning refers to rotating or pivoting a motion picture or
video camera horizontally from a fixed position
Tilting-Moving
the camera's lens up or down while keeping its horizontal axis constant.
Crane Shots-a
crane shot is a shot taken by a camera on a moving crane.
Tracking-tracking
shot is any shot where the camera moves alongside the object(s) it is
recording.
Handheld/
Steadicam-Hand-held camera or hand-held shooting is a filmmaking and video
production technique in which a camera is held in the camera operator's hands
as opposed to being mounted on a tripod or other base.
