THE GRAMMAR OF THE

M I N I TA S K 1
CAMERA
LONG SHOT

 A perspective of a scene that


is photographed from a
great distance, making
individuals look like hazy
outlines.
MEDIUM LONG
SHOT

 Picture that centers a character


from the knees up. A medium full
shot falls between a normal
medium shot and a full shot.
FULL SHOT

 A full shot is a style of


photography in which a
character's complete body fills the
entire frame, from top to bottom.
A character is completely framed
in a full shot.
MEDIUM SHOT

 The medium shot, sometimes also


called a mid-shot or waist shot, is
a cinema shot that includes the
subject's entire body, from the
waist to the top of their head.
CLOSE UP

 A close-up shot is a photograph in


which an actor's face or another
significant feature, detail, or item
occupies the major part, but not
the entire of the picture.
EXTREME CLOSE
UP

 A director of photography uses a


long lens at a close range to film
these shots. Because an extreme
close-up will closely frame a
subject, the outer portions of that
subject are often cut off by the
frame's edges.
POINT OF VIEW
POINT OF VIEW
S H O T, P O V S H O T

 In a movie, a point of view shot


shows what a character is
observing in the first person. In
other words, the viewer sees what
the character sees via the eyes of
the camera.
OVER THE
SHOULDER SHOT

 A camera angle known as an over-the-


shoulder shot (OTS shot) provides a
medium close-up on one actor while
revealing a portion of another actor's
shoulder. In a single frame, this
filmmaking method blends the facial
expressions of one actor with the
other's point of view (POV).
REACTION SHOT

 Reverse Angle Shot A picture


taken at an angle that is around
180 degrees different from the
one in the prior picture. In speech,
the phrase is frequently used to
describe a reverse over-the-
shoulder shot.
I N S E RT S H O T

 A camera angle known as an


insert shot focused on a particular
object in the frame. It may be
seen of as a part of
cinematography and is frequently
utilized to emphasize or highlight
a crucial aspect.
REVERSE ANGLE
SHOT

 A reverse angle shot is a shot


taken roughly 180 degrees
opposite of the shot prior. Reverse
angle shots provide viewers
different perspectives of the same
scene.
HAND HELD
CAMERA

 A handheld shot is one where the


camera operator just uses their
hands and shoulders to support
the camera. When using a
handheld camera, the operator's
motions cause camera shaking.
CAMERA ANGLES
LOW ANGLE SHOT

 A film shot at a camera angle


pointing up and below the typical
eye line is referred to as a "low
angle shot." Low angle views can
be used with wide, medium,
close-up, and the majority of
other common cinematic shots.
EYE LEVEL SHOT
OR STRAIGHT ON
ANGLE SHOT

 An eye level shot is one in which


the camera is positioned such that
it is level with the characters'
eyes.
CAMERA
MOVEMENTS
PA N N I N G S H O T

 A pan shot is a horizontal camera


movement used in cinematography
when the camera switches left or right
while its base stays in place. The word
"pan" is derived from the word
"panorama," which refers to a large and
expansive perspective that requires
turning your head to see it all in.
T I LT S H O T

 A camera tilt is a vertical


movement in which the camera
pivots while the base of the camera
stays stationary. When setting up
shots with lofty, vertical landscape
or when presenting a figure in a
dramatic way, tilting is helpful.
ZOOM

 You can press in to display detail


with a zoom and then zoom out to
provide context. Utilize your
camera to practice zooming. The
zoom might be challenging to
initiate or stop smoothly.
