DIFFERENT SHOTSMedia Studies – Peter Fleetwood
Establishing Shot
Establishes the location, so you can instantly tell where it is, and what type of time period.
Wide Shot
Shows a large proportion of the setting/scene, perhaps suggesting that something in view will become significant at some point. Gives us more information about possible feelings of characters.
Close Up
Shows emotions
Extreme Close Up
Intense feels
Medium Shot
Usually from waist upwards, it shows us the scene/character in more detail. For example, we see that he is holding a napkin.
Point Of View (POV)
Shows a characters point of view, and makes you feel more involved
Over the Shoulder
Makes you feel involved in the scene, similar to a pov. Showing different layers (background and foreground) makes the shot more interesting
Two Shot
Shows two people, often similar to a medium shot.
Shot Reverse Shot
Showing a conversation between two or more people so that the flow of the camera is natural as if we were taking part in the conversation.
High Angle and Low Angle
Makes the characters look powerful
Makes the characters look smaller and weak
