Camera Shot Exercise

Today we've tried to take some of our own shots in order for us to familiarise ourselves with the camera angles and shots, and to get used to handling the camera by hand or even using a tripod.


Mid Shot:
Shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject.

















Close up:
A certain feature or part of the subject takes up the whole frame.

Extreme Close up:

The ECU gets right in and shows extreme detail.

Point of view shot:Shows a view from the subject's perspective.

Over the shoulder shot:

Shot of someone or something taken from the perspective or camera angle from the shoulder of another person. The back of the shoulder and head of this person is used to frame the image of whatever (or whomever) the camera is pointing toward.

Weather Shot:

The subject is the weather. Can be used for other purposes, e.g. background for graphics.

Two Shot:A shot of two people, framed similarly to a mid shot.

Cutaway Shot:

A shot of something other than the subject.

Cut-in:

Shows some (other) part of the subject in detail.
