1 The Shot Cinematography

2 Photographic aspects Film stock Color and tonality Speed of motion Camera perspective (lenses) Framing and Aspect Ratio Camera angle and distance Mobile framing Duration—the long take

3 Camera Perspective Focal length and depth of field Lens types: Wide angle (short focal length) Large angle of view and depth of field Normal (middle focal length) Telephoto (long focal length) Smaller angle of view and depth of field; flattening Zoom Variable focal length creates illusion of camera movement

4 Special Effects Rear Projection Front Projection Mattes and Travelling Mattes Digital Manipulation

5 Framing Aspect Ratio Academy Ratio (1.37:1) Widescreen (1.85:1; 1.66:1;2.2:1) Hard Matte Anamorphic (Scope) Lens (2.40:1) Onscreen and Offscreen Space

6 Camera Distance Shot (basic unit of film: footage exposed from the time the camera is turned on to the time it is turned off) Long shot (ELS, LS, MLS) Establishing shot Medium shot (American shot) Close up (MCU, CU, ECU)

7 Camera Angle Low Medium High Crane (Bird’s Eye) Canted

8 Mobile Framing Pan and tilt Dolly/tracking Boom/crane

9 Camera Movement (Functions) Give the viewer the best view Reveal action (enlarge perspective) Emphasize detail (concentrate perspective) Create drama and excitement Convey ideas and emotions

10 Duration The long take Holding the image for seconds or minutes Camera stationary or nearly so Lengthening the shot while varying the image Constantly moving camera Supported by use of the steadicam and robotic cameras
