Considering Camera Shots.

For introduction of the continuity  piece process we would have to consider what camera shots  we should use in order for it to fit together. So here is the first few basic camera shots we have learnt about and the factors of the shot itself.

Establishing shot
Usually at an exterior angle.

-Usually at the start of production.
-Often used as an establishing shot to give the audience and idea of where they are.
-Main use is to establish time and location.

-Usually follows after an establishing shot.
-Enables the audience to see the character from head to toe.
-Enables the audience to become more familiar with the character within the environment.






Mid Shot:

             -Provides the audience with a view of the character from the waist up. In fact, this is an approximation of how you would see a person "in the flesh" if you were having a casual conversation. You wouldn't be paying any attention to their lower body, so that part of the picture is unnecessary.
- Allows the audience to become more familiar with the character and their motivation as they are now abe to see their facial expressions and body language in better detail.

Close Up:
-A close up of a charcter will show the character's head & Shoulders with very little background in the frame.

-It enables the audience to focus on the characters facial expressions and emotions of the current time.

-Close ups can be used to focus on object of significance.

Extreme Close Up:

- Draws the audience attention further into the character's emotions as their attention is completely focused on the character as it is in more detail.

-Can be extremely intense to the audience as it is an unfamiliar viewpoint as they are unable to see anything around the character in the frame.
- Just like a close up it can be used to focus on object of significance.
