CAMERA SHOTS Definition A camera shot is the amount of space that is seen in one shot or frame. Camera shots are used to demonstrate different aspects of a film's setting, characters and themes. As a result, camera shots are very important in shaping meaning in a film.

CAMERA SHOTS EXTREME CLOSE UP: contains one part of a character's face or other object. This technique is quite common in horror films. This type of shot creates an intense mood and provides interaction between the audience and the viewer.

Extreme close up: In this shot, what do we as the audience learn about what Father Benedictus is feeling right now? Hint: he just woke up to catch Willie stealing chocolate!

CAMERA SHOTS CONT’D A CLOSE UP: contains just one character's face. This enables viewers to understand the actor's emotions and also allows them to feel empathy for the character. This is also known as a personal shot.

Close Up: Willie’s face while he is daydreaming about Rosie in church! What is the close up telling us about Willie?

A LONG SHOT: contains landscape but gives the viewer a more specific idea of setting. A long shot may show the viewers the building where the action will take place.

In this long shot what is the setting and where is the action?

CAMERA SHOTS FINAL FULL SHOT: contains a complete view of the characters. From this shot, viewers can take in the clothes characters are wearing and it may also help to demonstrate the relationships between characters.

Full Shot: Clear view of Rosie and the Priest, you can tell by their clothing they are in a choir and the background and priest’s robes they are in a church.

MID SHOT: contains the characters or a character from the waist up. From this shot, viewers can see the characters' faces more clearly as well as their interaction with other characters. This is also known as a social shot.

What kind of relationship does this mid shot tell us Willie and his mother have?

CAMERA ANGLES Definition !It is important that you do not confuse camera angles and camera shots. Camera shots are used to demonstrate different aspects of setting, themes and characters! Camera angles are used to position the viewer so that they can understand the relationships between the characters. These are very important for shaping meaning in film.

A bird's eye angle: is an angle that looks directly down upon a scene. This angle is often used as an establishing angle, to establish setting.

CAMERA ANGLES CONT’D A HIGH ANGLE: is a camera angle that looks down upon a subject. A character shot with a high angle will look vulnerable or small. These angles are often used to demonstrate to the audience a perspective of a particular character.

High Angle: In this scene, Tadpole has just broken his promise to Willie to take him to Broome. Looking at him from Willie’s perspective, what does he look like right now?

LOW ANGLE: is a camera angle that looks up at a character. This is the opposite of a high angle and makes a character look more powerful. This can make the audience feel vulnerable and small by looking up at the character. This can help the responder feel empathy if they are viewing the frame from another character's point of view.

Low Angle: How does this angle make Father Benny appear to the audience?

LIGHTING Lighting is a very important aspect for shaping meaning in films. What kind of atmosphere is created in a room lit by candles? Have you ever heard of mood lighting? A room that is brightly lit by neon lights might seem to be sterile or a shadowy room might be eerie or scary. The lighting technicians in a film crew have the task of creating lighting to suit the mood and atmosphere of each scene in a film.

MISE EN SCENE Mise en scene refers to all the objects and characters in a particular frame. More specifically, it refers to the composition of the frame. When you use the term mise en scene, you are discussing where the composer or director has placed all the elements of the scene within the frame.
