3. An establishing shot is usually the first shot of a new scene, designed
to show the audience where the action is taking place in its setting.
4. A wide shot is similar to a panoramic photo.
It allows audiences to se the whole scene and the content within it.
5. The long shot involves the full length of a person or object.
6. Medium shots usually the characters waist up or waist down. The shot is
mostly taken when there is talking involved.
7. A close up shot is a shot of a specific part e.g face.
8. An extreme close up portrays extreme detail and its purpose is to give a
dramatic effect.
9. The POV shot shows the perspective of the character. This is used to
make the audience see it from a characters point of view.
10. This shot is taken from behind a characters shoulder. The back of the
persons head often takes up most of the photo. The person facing the
camera should not take up more than 1/3 of the frame. However this
may vary depending on circumstances.
18. A pan movement pivots left to right horizontally. Like most camera
movements it is placed on a tripod so that it is not shaky and unclear
unless it is supposed to look like it.
