1. CAMERA SHOTS & ANGLES

2. WHAT DO I DO WITH THE CAMERA? QUESTIONS TO ASK: What is the best viewpoint for filming this position of the story? -How much area should be included in this shot? SCENE – defines the place or setting where the action is laidout SHOT – defines a continuous view filmed by one camera without interruption SEQUENCE – A series of scenes or shots complete in itself.

3. TYPES OF CAMERA ANGLES OBJECTIVE – The audience point of view

4. TYPES OF CAMERA ANGLES SUBJECTIVE – The camera acts as the viewers eyes-- movement

5. POINT OF VIEW – WHAT THE CHARACTER IS SEEING

6. CAMERA ANGLES – ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN PRODUCING ILLUSION OF SCENIC DEPTH. WHICH ANGLE THE OBJECT IS PHOTOGRAPHED.

7. FIVE BASIC ANGLES

8. BIRDS EYE VIEW – Photographing a scene from DIRECTLY OVERHEAD. Hovers from above like all powerful gods. Idea of fate.

9. HIGH ANGLED SHOTS / High View – Camera is tilted downward. Movement is slowed down. A person seems harmless and insignificant photographed from above.-The higher the angle, the more it tends to imply fatality

10. EYE LEVEL SHOTS/Neutral View – Provide frames of reference. Audiences sees the event as if in the scene. Most scenes in movies are photographed from eye level. 5 to 6 feet off the ground. Capturing the clearest view of an object. -Treating your characters as equals. Discourages viewers at judging them and permits audience to make up their own minds.

11. Low View (or with tilt oblique angle)- Lateral tilt of the camera. As though the object is about to fall to one side. POINT OF VIEW SHOTS. -Suggests tensions, transitions, impending movement IMAGE THAT SLANTS TO THE RIGHT – Acting forceful IMAGE THAT SLANTS TO THE LEFT – Weak, static

12. Worm’s eye View - A worms eye view is also useful in movie making. It is useful because it can be used as one of the camera shots/views. It is used in filming to look up to something to make an object look tall, strong and mighty.

14. SIX BASIC SHOTS 1) Extreme Long Shot – Taken at a great distance. Almost always an exterior shot and shows much of the locale. Establishing shot

15. SIX BASIC SHOTS 2) Long Shot – The distance between the audience and the stage in the live theater

16. SIX BASIC SHOTS 3) Full Shot/medium long shot – Barely including the whole body

17. SIX BASIC SHOTS 4) Medium Shot – Knees to waste up. Useful for carrying movement and for dialogue

18. SIX BASIC SHOTS 5) Close-Up – Concentrates on a relatively small object. HUMAN FACE

19. SIX BASIC SHOTS 6) Extreme Close-Up – Might just show eyes or mouth
