Camera angles and movements


 

In class we discuss about the different camera angles and we had a little play around with the camera in the studio.
Establish shot (E.S.)
-establish the settings, the place and the location.
 
Extreme long shot (E.L.S.)     
-it shows the scale, details (not as many as the e.s.).
 
Long shot (L.S)
-entire/full body shot, it shows costumes and physical approach (the body language, status of the characters, etc.).
 
Mid Long shot (M.I.S)
-frame from ties upwards, it is more personal as it brings you closer to the character.
 
Mid shot (M.S.)
-frame from stomach upwards, it shows details and it is usually to draw the attention to a conversation.
 
Close up (C.U)
-it show details of the face expression and draw the audience to concentrate to the character or object.
 
Extreme Close Up
-even more details.
 
High Angle
-it makes the character looking weak, short, inferior.
 
Low Angles
-it is powerful and gives status to the character.
 
Point Of View (P.O.V)
-the audience gets to see what the character gets to see.
 
Over the Shoulder
-the audience feels like in a conversation, like if it is spying.
 
Canted Angles (Dutch Angles)
-disorientate and confuse the audience.
