Camera Shots

There are many different types of camera shots and angles used to portray the scene or picture in a more interesting manner. These different shots also show the important aspects of what is going on in the scene or picture.

Extreme close up


This camera shot shows the importance of the shot and the facial expressions in much more detail. This can be used within a thriller film to give the audience clues as to what may happen, giving suspense and mystery within itself. 



Close up
Close up shows are used to view either a character or object in greater detail, those of which cannot be seen in a long shot view. Again, this shows the audience what the character is feeling, due to being able to view the facial expressions in greater detail. 

Mid shot:


A mid shot view shows just below the waist to above the head, allowing the audience  to see the facial expressions . The actions the character is carrying out can also be seen. 

Long shot:
A long shot allows the audience to see the persons whole body, whereby from the head to the toes. 


Extreme long shot. 
In an extreme long shot you the whole characters body is in view, along with the location or  surrounding /scenery in the background.  This shot allows the audience to see where the character is and the surroundings around them. 

Over the shoulder shot.
When two people are having a conversation a shoulder shot is sometimes used where you can see the shoulder and back of head of one person and the other from a front view. This shot is often used when two people are having a discussion.
