CAMERA ANGLES :
low angle- In cinematography, a low-angle shot, is a shot from a camera angle positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eye line, looking up. Sometimes, it is even directly below the subject's feet. Psychologically, the effect of the low-angle shot is that it makes the subject look strong and powerful
high angle - A high-angle shot is a cinematic technique where the camera looks down on the subject from a high angle and the point of focus often gets "swallowed up.". High-angle shots can make the subject seem vulnerable or powerless when applied with the correct mood, setting, and effects.
two shot - An "American two shot" shows the two heads facing each other in profile to the camera. In a "two shot west," one character will turn 180º away from the other character while the other character looks at them. In a "full two shot," the two characters are shown from head to toe.
over the shoulder - In film or video, an over the shoulder shot (also over shoulder, ab tu, OTS, or third-person shot) is a shot of someone or something taken from the perspective or camera angle from the shoulder of another person. The back of the shoulder and head of this person is used to frame the image of whatever (or whomever) the camera is pointing toward.
long shots - The different types of framings or length of shots are: Long shot: It is called a long shot, since the camera is placed far away to capture a large area of view. Extreme long shot: Extreme long shot can be taken from as much as a quarter of a mile away, and is usually used as a scene-setting, establishing shot.
extreme long shots - a long shot (sometimes referred to as a full shot or wide shot) typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings.
birds eye view - A bird's-eye view is an elevated view of an object from above, with a perspective as though the observer were a bird, often used in the making of blueprints, floor plans, and maps. It can be an aerial photograph, but also a drawing. Before manned flight was common, the term "bird's eye" was used to distinguish views drawn from direct observation at high locations (for example a mountain or tower), from those constructed from an imagined (bird's) perspectives
medium long shot - Definition. The Medium shot shows equality between subjects and background. The dividing line between what constitutes a long shot and medium shot is not definite, nor is the line between medium shot and close-up. In some standard texts and professional references, a full-length view of a human subject is called a medium shot;
big close up -A close-up or close up in filmmaking, television production, still photography, and the comic strip medium is a type of shot that tightly frames a person or object. close ups usually show us the characters current emotions and their NVCs which tell us if they could be up to something.
worms eye view - A worm's-eye view is a view of an object from below, as though the observer were a worm; the opposite of a bird's-eye view. It can be used to look up to something to make an object look tall, strong, and mighty while the viewer feels child-like or powerless. A worm's eye view commonly uses three-point perspective, with one vanishing point on top, one on the left, and one on the right.
CAMERA MOVEMENTS :
tilted camera shot- The Dutch angle, also known as Dutch tilt, is a head tilt to one side, is a type of camera shot where the camera is set at an angle on its roll axis so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the shot is not parallel with the bottom of the camera frame. creates action.
panning camera shot - Panning shot of a chicken running, at a slow shutter speed of 1/40 second Panning of Porsche 996 GT3 RSR, shutter speed is 1/125 second When photographing a moving subject, the panning technique is achieved by keeping the subject in the same position of the frame for the duration of the exposure.
dolly camera movement - A camera dolly is a wheeled cart or similar device used in filmmaking and television production to create smooth horizontal camera movements. The camera is mounted to the dolly and the camera operator and focus puller or camera assistant usually ride on the dolly to push the dolly back and forth.
hand held camera movement - handheld shots are great when it comes to action movies , hand held camera movements are able to create a realistic experience in the scene and as it goes on. Horror movies love to take us places we shouldn’t go, such as deep into the woods, or even dingy public restrooms at night. It’s hardly surprising then, that the horror genre is one of hand-held camera’s most vocal supporters. Logistically, it’s much easier to have a camera that can fit into small places or can be moved over long distances on foot rather than a full rig encumbered by weight and size.
dolly counter zoom - A dolly counter zoom is a rare type of shot of great stylistic effect. To accomplish it, the camera has to dolly (move) closer or further away from the subject while the zoom is adjusted so the subject’s size remains about the same.
