Camera Shots & Angles - Due 16th September

Your first research task will aim to familiarize you with the basic building blocks of cinema. Your task is to produce a document that not only outlines the different shot types and angles used in film, but to also consider why these shots might be used (e.g. what they may communicate to the viewer).

The shots and angles you must include are: Establishing shot, extreme long/wide shot, long/wide shot, medium shot, close up, extreme close up, over the shoulder shot, cowboy shot, neural angle, high angle, low angle, Dutch tilt/canted angle, bird's eye view.

Here is an example of how you might set out your post:

Close up

This shot tends to focus on a specific feature (such as a face). This image will fill most of the screen. This shot allows the audience to easily read facial expressions which may not be as noticeable in a wider shot. It can also draw the audience's attention to a specific object which can be integral to the plot.

Your post should be made up of a mixture of original images and found images. The text needs to be your own (not copied from elsewhere as this is plagiarism).
