Camera shots, angles and movements

This lesson we looked at all of the camera shots, angles and forms of movement we could use when doing our final project. some of the shots we learnt about are

• ECU-Extreme close up. This shot can be used to portray a characters emotions without the audience focusing on something in the background.
• MLS-Medium long shot. this allows for the audience to see multiple people with relative detail but still gives them a sense of the set and location
• DAS-Dutch angle shot. This shot is where the camera is tilted over at a slite angle to make the straight lines become more angled adn a bit more dramatic. 

We also learnt about how different camera angles can create or take away tension. For example  an extreme close up can show how the character is feeling and create tension due to the lack of their surroundings and the mystery this creates.

 here are some examples of different camera shots in films.

This is an example of an extreme close up showing just the characters eyes and nose. however this has a reflection of another character in the glasses of (in this case Harry Potter) this gives the audience some perspective of what is going on but still remains mysterious.



This is an example of a medium close shot where you can see the characters head and shoulsders which allowes us to partially see what is going on in the scene but still gives us an insight to characters emotions. 

This is an example of a dutch angles shot it was often used in the old batman to show a scene where soemthing is going wrong. For eample an enemy has taken someone hostage or there is about to be a fight scene.
