Framing and Angle

Research

In Mr Murphy's lesson we discussed different types of shots and angles when shooting a video.

Framing

  • Establishing shot - sets the scene
  • Wide shot - small object of character is a small part of the scene
  • Long shot - closer to the person, less of the setting
  • Three-quater shot - most of the persons body
  • Mid/medium shot - shows the waist and upwards of the person
  • Medium close up - shows the persons features and expressions
  • Close up - the face, sometimes the shoulders
  • Big close up - looks at the emotions of the person, hides the setting
  • Extreme close up - shows some of the face, e.g. the eyes

Angle

  • High angle - above the person, can create a sense of vulnerability
  • Low angle - looking up to the person, can create a sense of power
  • Birdseye view - directly above the scene
  • Canted angle - everything is on an angle, can make things look odd
  • Wide angle - can see a lot of the scene, can create a dramatic feeling
  • Shallow focus - only part of the scene is in focus, e.g. over the shoulder shots
