 CAMERA SHOTS AND ANGLES


TWO SHOT:

THIS SHOT PORTRAYS TWO CHARACTERS IN THIS SCENE. THESE KIND OF SHOTS ARE USUALLY USED TO PORTRAY A DUO INTERACTING. THESE TYPES OF SCENES HELP ILLUSTRATE THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE TWO INDIVIDUALS AND ALLOWS THE AUDIENCE TO SEE BOTH OF THEIR REACTIONS/EMOTIONS TO WHATEVER IS HAPPENING IN THE SCENE. 




ESTABLISHING

THESE KINDS OF SHOTS ARE USUALLY USED TO TELL WHERE THE EVENT OR THE NEXT SCENE IS BEING SITUATED. IN THIS SCENE, THE CAMERA IS ZOOMING INTO A SCENE WHERE THE CHARACTER IS SEEN COMMUNICATING WITH OTHER CHARACTERS IN THE SCENE.THIS SHOT HELPS THE AUDIENCE UNDERSTAND WHERE THE CHARACTERS ARE CURRENTLY AT DURING THAT TIME. THIS ALSO ALLOWS THE AUDIENCE TO STUDY THE ENVIRONMENT AND LEARN WHAT MIGHT BE HAPPENING NEXT IN THE FOOTAGE.




CLOSE UP SHOT

CLOSE UP SHOTS ARE USUALLY USED TO GET A SHOT OF THE CHARACTER'S FACE. THESE KIND OF SCENES HELP THE AUDIENCE READ THE CHARACTER'S EXPRESSION WHICH HELPS SEE WHAT THEIR REACTION IS TO THE SITUATION THEY ARE IN. THIS COULD ALSO SUGGEST THAT THE SCENE IS IMPORTANT AS THE 'ZOOMING IN' CAN REFER THAT THE SCENE WANTS THE AUDIENCE TO FOCUS ON SOMETHING SIGNIFICIANT.

Bird's eye
