Document Summary
Like an excerpt (only part of the work) Specific part of head is extreme close up. Long shot: complete human figure with some background or full shot. Extreme long shot: camera so far away that result is broad, panoramic view. Medium shot: neither close or long (in between) Establishing shot: shot defines an area (family gathered around a table. Two shot: 2 character (so on for 3 shot) Shot/reverse shot: principle of alternating shots of characters in a conversation so that we see first one character, then the other. Over the shoulder: functions like ^ but we look over the shoulder of the character. Extreme close up to give a eerie feeling. Death in long shot is less painful. Shots also defined by the position of the camera in relation to the subject. Looking out of a window = high angle shot. Low angle: serves opposite function of high angle shot (subject appears larger than it actually is )
