Camera Shots For Our Opening


CAMERA SHOTS -A camera shot is the amount of space that is seen in one shot or frame; this demonstrates different aspects of a films setting, characters and themes.

We will have to consider different camera shots when filming our opening.

EXTREME LONG SHOT - Is often used at the beginning of a scene or a film to establish general location.
LONG SHOT - Shows the viewers the building where the action will take place.
FULL SHOT - Allows viewers to see what characters are wearing and to help demonstrate the relationship between characters.
MID SHOT- Allows viewers t see the characters' faces more clearly as well as their interaction with other characters.
CLOSE UP - Shows characters expressions and enables viewers to understand the actor's emotions.
EXTREME CLOSE UP - This creates an intense mood and provides interaction between the audience and the viewer.

CAMERA MOVEMENT

We will need to consider different cuts between scenes, going from one shot to another one or to move the camera with an action when filming our film opening this will allow us to add different affects and to make our opening look professional.


Here are the four different camera movements we will potentially use in our opening.

PANS - This is a movement that allows the camera to move horizontally, these movements would be used to film a moving object.
TILTS - This is a movement that moves vertically.
TRACKING SHOTS - This is when a camera is placed on a tripod
 and moves alongside the action, generally following a moving figure or object.
HAND HELD SHOTS - This movement can make the audience feel as though they are part of a scene, rather than viewing it from a detached, frozen position.
