Camera & Angles

 

 

 

 

 

The camera and angle effects that are listed below are the most heavily used in the media we see everyday;

 

 

 

 Wide shot:
This shot would be used to get all the characters or settings into one camera view.

 

Over the shoulder:
This would be used to get the perspective of what the character is observing

Low camera angle:
This angle would be used so the actors who the camera is facing looks bigger and more intimidating

Aerial camera shot:

This angle would be used to make sure that the audience can see the entire scene and set

Long shot:
Like the wide shot this is so the audience can take in the entire scene and a scope of the surroundings in the film.

Tilt/Dutch
You would use this shot to give the audience a sense of disorientation and possibly make them feel uncomfortable by doing so

Extreme Close up
This shot can be used to give additional focus to an object or somebody that the audience my have missed

High camera angle

This angle could be used to make an object or person look a lot more distant and further away to give more emphasis

 

Medium long shot

This shot can be used so that the audience can make out all of what the character in the shot is doing

 

Static camera angle

This angle can be used when there is dialogue being spoken so it is not disorientating for the audience

Medium shot

This camera shot is used so you can gauge the body language of the characters as well as their facial expressions

Close up

Close ups are used so that the audience can see clearly the facial expressions and reactions of the actor or actress their watching
