Camera shots

This video shows the differant camera shots I have been learning in Media studies in the past 6 weeks. The video also gives an explantion to new camera shots which I have yet to learn, i.e the arc shot with circles a scene or character which increases the tension of the scene. they show the tracking movement which by tracking in twoards a character grabs the audience's attention and focus on the character and by tracking out shows that the narrative and scene has finished. they also show a tilt shot which shows the characters status and power. I learnt the crab shot which follows the characters movements at a low level, for example following their feet and the pace at which they move accross the scene. The video shows differant zoom shots and explain that it can be used as an alternative to a tracking shot.

We used a number ofr differant camera shots explained in this youtube video in my prelim video such as

Zoom
Wide shots
Close ups on the face
Over the shoulder shots
High angle shots
Low angle shots
Extreme close ups

The low and high angle shots help show the characters power, status and relationship with the other characters in the scene. Close ups of the faces and extreme close ups show lots of detail in a characters face from every wrinkle. A wide shot shows every thing in the scene and zoom shows where the focus is and where the main attention is.
