This was a task given by my teacher in Media studies session. Here is a presentation about the Camera Angles and Camera Movements. I have taken those pictures on my own to show the different camera angles.

2. How a film director might
use camera angles and
movement to enhance a
scene.

3. Camera Angles

4. Camera angles
• Used to highlight important moments.
• Used in various positions, angles and
distances.
• Different viewpoint and emotions

5. Different camera angles
• Extreme close up shot
• Medium shot
• Over the shoulder shot
• Point Of View shot
• Long shot

6. Extreme Close Up
Focus the audience’s attention on something specific.
Shows very precise details.

7. Medium Shot
Shows facial expressions but also starts to
show body language

8. Over the Shoulder shot
Allows the audience to see how characters react
to one another.
Often used for dialogue

9. Point of View shot
You see the scene through characters
perspective

10. Long shot
Shows the context of what’s happening
Allows the audience to see everything in
the surrounding area

12. Camera
Movements

13. Camera Movements
• The camera is mounted on a cart which travels along tracks for a very
smooth movement.
• Tracking shot or trucking shot.
• Movement will give your film life.
• Most shots should have some kind of movement in them, even if it’s
very slight.

14. Different camera
movements
• Pan
• Zoom
• Dolly
• Tilt

15. Pan
Panning is when you move your camera horizontally; either left to right
or right to left, while its base is fixated on a certain point. You are not
moving the position of the camera itself, just the direction it faces. These
types of shots are great for establishing a sense of location within your
story.

16. Zoom
Without a doubt, zooming is the most used camera movement.
It is often used as a clutch when the videographer is not sure what
else to do to add interest to a shot.
Use a quick zoom to add energy to a fast-paced piece.
It involves changing the focal length of the lens to make the
subject appear closer or further away in the frame.

17. Dolly
A dolly is when you move the entire camera forwards and
backwards, typically on some sort of track or motorized
vehicle. This type of movement can create beautiful, flowing
effects when done correctly.

18. Tilt
Tilting is when you move the camera vertically, up to down or down to up, while its
base is fixated to a certain point. Again, like panning, this move typically involves
the use of a tripod where the camera is stationary but you move the angle it points
to. These shots are popular when introducing a character, especially one of
grandeur, in a movie.
