Camera shots and angles are used by film makers to help the audience understand the film. These elements are essential to film makers so they can show the specific parts of the film from different views.There are 3 main types of shots that describe how near or how far the camera is from the subject: Long shot, Medium shot and Close-up shot. Each shot has a specific use and function when making a film or photo essay.In addition to camera shots, the camera angle is also important. The angle from which a shot is taken is another way to give the audience different perspectives and information. Different camera angles have different effects on the viewer and how they perceive the scene that is shot. There are different types of camera angles such as Low angle, High angle,andEye-Levelto name a few.Click on this link and read:~ Filmmaking 101: Camera Shot Types.(5mins)Watch these three videos on camera angles and shot types before completing the assignment below:~ 15 Essential Camera Shots, Angles and Movements in Filmmaking(6:30 mins)~ Camera Angles with Zack King(5:30 mins)~ Camera Shots(Media Project)(1:00 mins) Identify the shots Medium Shot – (MCU) Canted Shot (Dutch Tilt) Landscape shot Long shot Identify the shots High Angle Shot Subjective (POV) Extreme Close Up – (XCU) Eye Level Shot Identify the shots Subjective (POV) Reverse Angle (Over The Shoulder) OTS Low Angle Shot Long Shot – (LS) Identify the shots.
