Camera Angles Shot Size

The document provides definitions and examples of different camera shots and angles used in filmmaking: - A close-up shot tightly frames an actor's face to focus on their reaction. - A low angle shot is taken from below eye level, making the subject appear larger and more powerful. - A long shot shows the entire subject and their surroundings to provide context. - An over the shoulder shot captures the perspective of the subject behind whose shoulder the camera is placed. This can manipulate audience identification with characters or show relationship dynamics.

OBJECTIVES close up shot 23rd October

A close-up shot is a type of


camera shot size in film and
television that adds emotion
to a scene. It tightly frames
an actor's face, making their
reaction the main focus in
the frame. The director of
photography films a close-up
with a long lens at a close
range.
OBJECTIVES low angle
A low angle shot is a film shot
taken from a camera angle
positioned below the average
eye line and pointing up. Low
angle views can be used in
conjunction with wide shots,
medium shots, close-ups, and
most other standard
cinematic shots. Low angle shots make a
subject appear to be larger,
wider, taller, and closer. That's
the same perceptual trick
used by filmmakers all the
time to make monsters look
scarier, heroes (or villains)
more powerful, and victims
even more vulnerable.

OBJECTIVES long shot
n 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.
A long shot is a camera shot that
shows the entire subject from head
to toe and places that subject in
relation to their surroundings. The
long shot is also called a “wide
shot” or “full shot” and it's used to
show the relationship between
characters and their environment.

OBJECTIVES over the shoulder
The OTS shot is used as a way to capture the
perspective of the subject whose shoulder
the camera is placed behind. This technique
can often be used to manipulate the level of
identification an audience has with a
character or can display a relationship
dynamic between two characters on screen.

Point of view shots give audiences a view


from a character's perspective by
positioning the camera right where the
character's eyes would be. These shots cast
an illusion of access to a character's inner
life, which makes POV shots very popular in
TV and film.
