MEDIA DESIGN ONLY- IMOVIE/ VIDEO VOCABULARY- 1

CLOSE UP
•       Head and shoulders are in the frame. Used if the director wants to focus our attention on one particular thing. This is often character’s facial expression
•       EXTREME CLOSE UP
•       Focuses the audience’s attention on small details and these shots are often used more for artistic effect, can give the audience a sense of discomfort
•       LONG SHOT
•       Shows us the whole character, drawing attention to costume and body language. Can be used to offer perspective
•       EXTREME WIDE SHOT
•       The view is so far from the subject that he isn't even visible. Often used as an establishing shot.
•       POINT OF VIEW
•       When we, the audience , see exactly what  the character is seeing
•       MID SHOT
•       When we see the character from the waist up with partial view of the setting in the background. Used so we can focus on the dialogue between two characters
•       MEDIUM LONG SHOT
•       When we see the character from the knees up with partial view of the setting in the background
•       BIRDS EYE VIEW
•       When the camera looks down on settings of characters from high above. This shot does, however, put the audience in a godlike position, looking down on the action. People can be made to look insignificant, ant-like, part of a wider scheme of things.
•       LOW ANGLE SHOT
•       The camera is placed below a subject looking up, it looks larger and more powerful
•       HIGH ANGLE SHOT
•       When the camera looks down on a person or object, it can look vulnerable. Not so extreme as a bird's eye view.
•       OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT
•       Looking from behind a person at the subject.
•       TWO SHOT
•       A shot with two people
•       CANTED ANGLE
•       Sometimes the camera is tilted, to suggest imbalance, transition and instability (very popular in horror movies).
