Camera angles and techniques

• Wide/ very long shot is the shot that shows the landscape of the area, its purpose is to show the person the setting and to make them focus on the setting as a whole instead of individual things so you'll see the people are really small or the areas they dont want to focus on are small
• long shot is the shot where you can see the person or the people from head to toe and its purpose is to show the persons physical appearance, where they are going,what they are doing and whats happening around them. sometimes this can be used after the wide long shot to single out people or a person.
• mid shot is the shot that shows the person form waist up and the audience now knows what they are doing in detail within the frame.
• medium close up is the shot kind of like the mid shot but this time the frame shows the person rom chest up.

Camera angles and techniques pt.2

• close up is the shot that focuses on the subject rather than the setting or their surroundings and only shows a persons head and shoulders. the audience can then recognise the subjects thoughts and feelings.
• Big close up is the shot that only shows the persons head/face and is used when signifying emotions or expressions the subject is experiencing
• Extreme close up the frame is filled with part of the subject from just below their chin to their eyebrows, this is done to create a powerful or threatening image of the person/sunject but can also be used as a reaction shot to focus on their emotional response.
