DIFFERENT SHOTS AND ANGLES

SOFT FOCUS

In images, the use of a special lens or filter to create a hazy light around the subject. Soft focus shots are associated with the romantic genre.

MASTER SHOT

A master shot is a film recording of an entire dramatized scene, from start to finish, from an angle that keeps all the players in view. It is often a long shot and can sometimes perform a double function as an establishing shot.

AERIAL SHOT

 A shot taken from an airborne device, generally while moving. Backlighting (lighting design) The main source of light is behind the subject, silhouetting it, and directed toward the camera.

ESTABLISHING SHOT

An establishing shot is usually the first shot of a new scene, designed to show the audience where the action is taking place. It is usually a very wide shot or extreme wide shot.

CANTED SHOT

The Dutch angle, also known as Dutch tilt, canted angle, oblique angle or German angle, is a type of camera shot where the camera is set at an angle on its roll axis, and appears diagonal.

CLOSE UP

A type of shot, which tightly frames a person or an object. Close-ups are one of the standard shots used regularly with medium shots and long shots (cinematic techniques).

EXTREME CLOSE UP

An extreme close up is a shot used in filmmaking, television production and photography in which the camera focuses on a particular detail of the subject.Extreme close ups are extremely intimate and are best used sparingly

MEDIUM SHOT

In film, a medium shot, mid shot (MS), or waist shot is a camera angle shot from a medium distance.

MEDIUM CLOSE UP

The medium close up is half way between a mid shot and a close up. This shot shows the face more clearly, without getting uncomfortably close.

LOOSE SHOT

Usually in longer shots. The mise-en-scène is so spaciously distributed that the subject photographed has considerable latitude of movement.
