Using Camera Shots

                       

Establishing shot: 

The establishing shot is the introductory shot at the beginning of a scene. This shot is used to establish the settings geography and its time of day, and can also serve as a transition between scenes. This  is at a park late in the afternoon. 

 


                                                        Two-shot:


A two shot captures a clear image of two people in the same frame. This can be shown from various angles or shots, such as a mid-shot or low angle. This shot conveys the relationship between the two characters, whether it be romantic, hostile, platonic, etc. The image above shows tension and hostility between the two girls as they stare at each other with hard faces. 

                                                  

 Over-the-Shoulder Shot:

An over-the shoulder shot  is taken over the shoulder of a person, and presents a clear image of the individual in front of them. This shot is typically used when filming a conversation between two people. Over the shoulder shots provides the audience with a perspective from both sides of the conversation. it can also capture a action, such as someone playing a game on their tablet like what is shown in the photo.





Point-of-view Shot:  A point of view shot is a first person point of view nto what a person is seeing or hearing.. This allows the audience a more insightful interpretation of the scene and the character. This images shows someone opening  their dresser draw through their eye's view.                                                                                                                                                         

Mid-shot:

The mid-shot is taken above the waist and ends above the head capturing the background. This a neutral shot, similar to the way in which we see others when we interact with them. It is used for dialogue scene to capture the character's body language and setting. In this mid-shot the baby is laughing and his body language is relaxed which shows that he is happy.



Close-Up shot:

The close-up shot is taken of the face from the neck or shoulder up, focusing on the person's facial expressions. They are used to express the character's thoughts or emotions and helps the audience empathize with the character. In this image the turtle wears an alert/shocked expression on his face to an incoming danger or his owner's strange behavior.
