Media camera shots

   By Georgia heron
Establishing shot
• An establishing shot in filmmaking and television production
  sets up, or establishes the context for a scene by showing the
  relationship between its important figures and objects. It is
  generally a long- or extreme long shot at the beginning of a
  scene indicating where, and sometimes when, the remainder
  of the scene takes place.
Wide shot
• The one on the left is an extreme wide shot where you can
  catch more in the picture but it is not very detailed at which
  because it is not really focusing on anything its just one whole
  picture that were looking at.
• The one on the right is an very wide shot where you are abit
  further in than the one on the left but still not focusing on
  anything bar the whole image, there for we are just interested
  in whatever we see there is not a main eye catcher.
Medium shot
• In film, a medium shot is a camera angle shot from a medium
  distance. It shows half the body of a human, its not a close up
  but its not a big distance shot either. It sometimes from the
  waist upwards normally shows the expression and body
  language of the person in the image.
Close up
• Close-ups are used in many ways, for many reasons. Close-ups
  are often used as cutaways from a more distant shot to show
  detail, such as characters' emotions.
Medium close up
• Between a close up and a mid shot. Of a person, this camera
  shot shows from the mid-chest up to the top of the head.
Birds eye view
• Birds eye view is where your looking directly down at the
  object you are taking a photographic image of, you can see
  everything around the object too.
Over shoulder shot
• An over shoulder shot is where you film over somebody's
  shoulder and you see what they see so your pretending to be
  them.
Shot reverse shot
• Shot reverse shot (or shot/counter shot) is a film technique
  where one character is shown looking at another character
  (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown
  looking back at the first character. Since the characters are
  shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that
  they are looking at each other.
Low angle shot
• A low angle shot is where your aiming up at
  the person/object that you are aiming at, it
  makes the object look bigger and sometimes
  in films it does it to actors who are playing a
  big roll maybe a evil person.
High angle shot
• High angle shot is where you aim down at the
  person and take shots like that. It can show
  maybe that the actor or object is lower than
  them maybe in power? Or it can show that the
  person/object is smaller than the person
  taking the shot.
