Think about the effect each technique might achieve.

 A shot from some distance; often shows the full body  Why might a director select this shot?  It may suggest the isolation or vulnerability of the character.

 The most common shot - the camera shows the person from the waist up  Why might a director use medium shot?

 The image being shot takes up at least 80% of the frame  Why might a director use close up?  Shows detail and emotion

 The image being shot is part of a whole  Why might a director use extreme close up?

 From normal height  Most shots are from this angle because it is the most natural

 Camera is above the subject to make the subject look smaller than normal & weak, powerless, or trapped

 From below to make the subject look larger than normal & strong, powerful, or threatening

 A shot taken from a character’s point of view, as though the camera lens is the character’s eyes

 A shot from a neutral point of view, as though the camera lens is an outside, objective witness to the events as they unfold

 Scene is flooded with light, creating a bright & open looking scene

 Scene is flooded with shadows & darkness, creating suspense or suspicion

 Even lighting—more natural
