This document provides information on key camera techniques for photography and filmmaking. It lists different shot types like close-up, mid shot, and long shot. It also discusses different camera movements and terms like tracking shot, tilt movement, and crab movement. It explains techniques like the rule of thirds, shallow depth of field, and establishing shots. It provides an example of how the rule of thirds can be used to position characters. It also notes that shallow depth of field is used to direct a viewer's attention and create suspense by shortening the focal point.

Establishing shot taken
from James Bond. This
shot sets the location
clearly to the audience.
This is not something I
am planning to use in my
horror trailer at the
moment as my previous
research shows a limited
amount of these shots in
horror trailers.
The Rule of thirds has
made me aware of the best
way to position my
characters in front of the
camera. This rule focuses
on what is the key part of
the shot based on the
positioning. As seen in the
picture below the
character is also left with
“looking room” to make
the shot more interesting
and create questions for
the audience.
Shallow depth of field is
a regularly used effect
used with the camera in
order to direct a viewers
attention to a specific
point or create suspense
with the scene of
unknown. The use of
shallow depth of field is
to shorten the amount
focus within the shot.
