Camera Techniques


In English we are doing film studies. In the topic we have to study what each type
of camera techniques there are. I created a visual dictionary to show my learning.
The thing I am wondering about this is why are there so many different types of shots?
and How long would it take to make a film if you had to use all of these camera techniques.

Close up:
A close up shot in film is a shot that tightly frames a person or an object 

Medium close up
A medium close up is a tighter shot than a medium shot but still not as tight as a close up 

Medium shot
                     A medium shot is captured at a medium distance making it so some of the background can be seen

Mid shot
A shot taken at a medium shot 

Long shot
A long shot is usually a shot the show the whole object or human intended to place in it some relation to
it surroundings
Eye level
The most common camera angle
Pan
A pan shot is when you swivel a still or video camera horizontally from a fixed position
Tilt
when the camera moves up and down . Used to explore a location or character.
Tracking

When the camera follows a moving subject/ camera moves with towards or away from the subject.
Overhead
Lengthens the dramatic tensions 
Over the shoulder
from behinf the persons shoulder. Gives a sense of involvement

Mise en scene
