Cinematography

This is the making of films which contains camera angles. Every camera angle can give a different effect.


Examples of this are as follows:  


extreme close up - This brings the audiences attention to something in particular. It gets close up to either a persons features or an object. 


close up
medium shot
long shot


The above are all main shots used which show us different amounts of people of the place. They can be used for different reasons for example if you were just shown the murderer in a film it would be a close up of their face so you can identify them. However if you were seeing someone walk away it would be a long shot so that you can see where they are going




high angle - A high angle shows that the person in the shot is powerful and could be threatening. 


low angle - A low angle shows that the person in the shot is vulnerable. 


shot reverse shot - This is used to show a conversation. 


point of view - a point of view shot shows the audience what the character is going through and gives us a chance to see through their eyes at what they are experiencing 


over the shoulder shot - An over the shoulder shot can be used in a conversation.
