Learning Intentions To be able to identify the different types of camera shots and camera angles used in film. To be able to comment on the purpose of different camera shots and angles

Close Up (CU) Shots A close up shot of a character usually takes in their head and shoulders. It can be used to emphasise how important a character or object is. It allows the audience to build a relationship with the character

Close Up (CU) Shots – you be the Director! Using your camera frame, in your pairs, take turns to try and frame each other in close up Try and act out different emotions e.g happy, sad, frightened… REMEMBER: the shot contains face and sometimes shoulders

Extreme Close Up (ECU) Shot An extreme close up shot usually focuses on a part of the face (often the eyes or mouth) Used to convey emotion to the audience Often used at key points in the story

Extreme Close Up (ECU) Shot – you be the Director! Using your smaller camera frame, in your pairs, try and frame each other in extreme close up Try and act out different emotions e.g. happy, sad, frightened… REMEMBER: ECU usually focuses on a specific part of the face (eyes or mouth)

Medium shot (MS) A mid shot shows the body from the waist up. It shows some background and whole body language. Focus on character – it lets the audience see what they are doing BUT also how they are feeling

Medium shot (MS) – you be the Director! Go back to your larger camera frame. In pairs, try and frame each other in medium shots Try and act out a different scenario e.g reading a speech or riding a horse REMEMBER! MS are of a character from the waist up & display some location

Long Shot (LS) Full body is shown. Used to show location or relationships of characters. Often used as a first shot at the start of a particular sequence

Long Shot (LS) – you be the director! Use your larger camera frame. In pairs, try and frame each other in long shots Try and act out a different scenario e.g walking away from a burning building REMEMBER! LS are of a character’s whole body & tells the audience where they are

High Angle Shot The camera is positioned above the person or place. It can make a person look vulnerable. Designed to make the audience side with the characters in shot

High Angle Shot – you be the Director! Use your larger camera frame. In pairs, try and frame each other in high angle shots BE CAREFUL! This may mean one of you crouching on the floor. DO NOT STAND ON THE CHAIRS REMEMBER! High Angle shots (the underdog shot) make a character seem vulnerable

Low- Angle Shot The camera is positioned below the person or place. It can make a person look powerful or important.

Low- Angle Shot – you be the Director! Use your larger camera frame. In pairs, try and frame each other in low angle shots BE CAREFUL! This may mean one of you crouching on the floor. DO NOT STAND ON THE CHAIRS REMEMBER! Low angle shots can make a character seem powerful or intimidating depending on whether or not the are a hero or a villain

Point of View (PoV) The camera becomes the character and shows us exactly what they are seeing, as they would see it.

Eye Level A neutral camera angle Represents a real person standing up, watching the scene

Setting Where the scene is set. The surrounding elements help us understand the time, place, characters and period of the film and scene.

Lighting Lighting can be in the form of spotlight, flood lighting, fill lighting, outside lighting, indoor lighting and dim lighting to name a few. The main purpose is to create a mood, atmosphere or tone to the scene

Music Music can determine mood, genre, build tension, change emotion, change the physical status of a character, create a flow and/or highlight a code or theme

Dialogue Dialogue is the spoken text by the characters. It is used to establish character definition and relationship and to provide a plot line.

Diegetic Sound Diegetic sound comes from within the film. It is most commonly the voices of the characters or sound made by movements and objects. E.g.. Music heard from a radio that can be seen.

Non-diegetic Sound Non-diegetic sound comes from the source that is not visible to the audience. This is most commonly sound effects, music and voiceover. E.g. music played over a scene for the effect that does not have a source within the film.
