13. DESCRIPTION OF THE CAMERA SHOTS

14. Importance of Camera Shots
The camera shots are very important to the video. Good camera shots make the viewer understand more and the movie more interesting.

15. The Types of Camera Shots
There are different types of shots. The names of the shots are based on how much information is included in the image. There are four we will deal with:
Wide (Long or Establishing)
Medium
Close up
Extreme close up
Each will be addressed in detail in the following slides.

16. What are the 4 types of camera shots?
Close up, extra wide, medium, middle
Big, close up, medium, extreme close up
Medium, microscopic, wide, close up
Wide, medium, close up, extreme close up

17. WIDE (ALSO KNOWN AS ESTABLISHING OR LONG) SHOTS

18. What is a Wide Shot
A wide shot is usually a far away image that shows the whole area. It gives the audience a basic orientation to the geography of a scene (i.e., who is standing where) after which you'll cut to closer shots.

19. What does the wide shot do?
Orients the viewer as to the
geography of a scene
Shows minute detail
Shows emotion of the people in the scene
Shows the entire body

20. Orient Your Viewer
In this case, a story of a sailor on an aircraft carrier would probably start with a short video of the aircraft carrier from this distance out.

21. Going Into a Different Place
It’s used when people go from one place to another. For example, to show that they have gone from home to work they show the front side of the home then the office.

22. What Wide Shot is Not For
Wide shots are not used for emotion very much because you can’t see the people’s faces clearly.
For example, you can’t see the facial expression of anyone in this picture even though it is a great wide shot.

23. The Wide Shot is to Get Everyone Into the Scene
This is on the verge of not being a wide shot because you can see emotions.

24. MIDRANGE SHOTS

25. What is a Medium Shot
The medium shot shows less than the wide shot and more than the close up. An MS (medium shot) is normally a shot from the waist up. You can see emotions and the body.

26. Medium Shots and Emotions.
The purpose of a medium shot is to show the viewer the body. We show a lot of our emotions through our body. For example, is couple sad?

27. What does the medium shot do?
Orients the viewer as to where
they are or are going
Shows minute detail
Shows emotion of the people in the scene
Shows from the waist up

28. CLOSE UP SHOTS

29. What is a Close Up Shot
A close up shot is taken even closer than the medium shot. A close up would be considered a persons shoulders and head.

30. A Shot of an Angry Man
Close ups of the face are important because the viewer will be able to see emotions.

31. What does the close up shot do?
Orients the viewer as to where
they are or are going
Shows minute detail
Shows emotion of the people in the scene
Shows the entire body

32. What Emotion is This?
What was hockey player Wayne Gretsky’s mood at the time this picture was taken?

33. EXTREME CLOSE UP SHOTS

34. What is an Extreme Close Up Shot
An extreme close up shot shows extremely close up detail.

35. Extreme Close Up Shots
Here are some extremely close up shots.

36. What an Extreme Close Up Shot is NOT For
An extreme close up is not for showing emotions. It doesn’t show the whole face.
It’s also not for orienting the viewer.
The ECU gets right in and shows extreme detail.

37. What does the extreme close up shot do?
Orients the viewer as to where
they are or are going
Shows extreme detail
Shows emotion of the people in the scene
Shows the entire body

39. SPECIALTY SHOTS

40. Specialty Shots
There are more shots than the types that you have seen so far. The rest are considered specialty shots. Those are:
Over the shoulder
two-shot or three-shot
Cut away

41. Over the Shoulder Shots
The over the shoulder shot draws you into the scene.

42. two-shot or three-shot
A two-shot or three-shot is when there are two or three people in the scene. This is usually a medium shot because you have to stand back a bit to get all two or three people in.

43. Cut Away Shots
A cutaway shot is a shot taken away from the action. It is used to give more information. A conversation between these two people would have you flipping back and forth between the two.

44. SHOT ANGLES

45. Angle of Shots
Along with how close to the subject you get, there is also the camera angle to consider.

46. The Three Types of Angled Shots
You can change how viewers see the information by changing the angle that you hold the camera. You can get:
Birds eye
Straight on
Low angle

47. Bird’s Eye Angle Bird’s eye
Getting a picture from above is called the bird’s eye view. It makes the item appear smaller and less significant.

When you need to make something more insignificant or appear smaller.

49. What emotions do you create with a bird’s eye view?
