Different camera angles

Different camera angles:
By learning these different camera angles is very important and helpful for me as i am working the camera for my group. Therefore by learning these different camera angles it will help me to construct good shots and a large majority of different shots , so our film can have a bigger range of camera angles.

Big close-up:

By doing a close up it allows the viewer to see the characters facial expression. By doing a big close-up it is very personal and can be portrayed as very intense as well. Also they say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, therefore it allows the viewer to connect with the character on a personal level.
Close-up:

By doing a close up it lets the viewer identify the character. Close-ups are often used within romantic films as you can see the faces of the characters and there facial expression.

Medium close-up:

By doing a medium close-up it allows the viewer to establish a character and the setting around them. It also allows the viewer to see what the character is wearing.

Mid-shot:

A mid-shot allows the viewer to see more of the characters outfit and to see if they have any sort of props such as a gun or a weapon.

Medium long shot:

A medium long shot allows the viewer to see more of the background, to set  of the scene. It also allows the viewer to see the position and posture of the character.

Long shot or wide shot:

Again by doing a long shot/wide shot allows the viewer to see more of the setting around the character, to see where the scene is set.

2-Shot:

By doing a 2-shot it introduces another character to the scene. By doing a 2-hot it also informs the viewers that there is a relationship between the characters, whether its a family member, a friend or they are in a couple. 


3-Shot:

Again by doing a 3-shot it introduces another character into the scene.


High angle-shot:

A high angle-shot is when the camera is looking down on the character, it makes the character appear smaller , therefore making the character venerable to there surroundings. A high angle-shot is also known as a birds eye shot.

Low angle-shot:

By doing a low angle-shot it gives the connotations of a bigger person, therefore makes the character look in power. It makes the character appear strong and powerful.

Over-the-shoulder:

By doing an over the shoulder shot it allows the viewer to see that there is a conversation taking place between two people. It allows you to see to reaction of the other character as the 1st character speaks to them.

By learning these camera angles it can help us within our film as we can use a variety of shots to portray our character.
