Camera Angles

Here are a variety of shot i might use:

• Long shot show the whole subject, they show the person as well as the whole area.
• Extreme long shot is used to show landscape or something really large
• A full shot show the whole shot
• A medium shot shows not the complete subject
• A close up shows only part of the subject
• An extreme close up shows a very small part of a subject
• Establishing shot is an shot that shows the setting of the current scene
• A reaction shot is used to show facial emotion

Here are some angles:

• A high angle shows how vunerable and weak the person is
• A low angle shows the persons power
• An eye level shot shows the camera at the persons eye level
• A reverse angle shows what the subject is seeing
• An oblique angle is shot by literally moving the frame

• Tracking when the camera changes it position by moving left or right
• Elevating  when the camera changes its position by moving up or down
• Dollying changing the cameras position by moving it forward or backwards
