The document provides information about camera techniques used in film and television, including: - The rule of thirds for frame composition, which positions points of interest along the thirds lines for a more balanced image. - Various camera shot types (extreme long shot, long shot, mid-shot, close-up, etc.) and angles (high, low, etc.). - Common camera movements like pans and zooms. - Exercises are described to analyze camera work in examples using the rule of thirds and by sketching and discussing shots from a television drama clip. - The purpose is to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of visual storytelling techniques.

Learning Outcomes Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of - Camera shots, angles and movements. Be able to apply knowledge to - Video-based texts (film / TV / music videos / video games).
Super Question What are the main purposes of EACH SHOT TYPE?
Success Criteria HIGHER (Level 2 Distinction) Explain, in detail, each camera technique, with appropriate examples. Use key media terminology often and suitably. MIDDLE (Level 2 Pass) Describe each camera technique, with satisfactory examples. Use key media terminology often and suitably. LOWER (Level 1 Pass) Identify a range of camera shot types, with some satisfactory examples. L2 DISTINCTION L2 MERIT L2 PASS L1 MERIT L1 PASS U (LOW) (HIGH)
Camera Composition The Rule of Thirds - The rule of thirds can be described as a guideline to how an image should be framed. - It is applied in any professional moving image or still image work (e.g. television programmes, films, photography, paintings).
Camera Composition The Rule of Thirds - The rule of thirds theory states that if you place points of interest on the intersections or along the lines, your image becomes more balanced and will enable a viewer to interact with it more naturally. - Research has shown that when viewing images, a viewers eyes will usually go to one of the intersection points more naturally than the centre.

Camera Composition The Rule of Thirds - The next two slides contain images that have been framed in a way that uses the rule of thirds. - Where, on the image, do your eyes go to first...? (Be prepared to draw the rule of thirds grid on each image and discuss the relevance!)

Camera Composition The Rule of Thirds exercise - You will need a calculator, pen / pencil, ruler and (possibly) an eraser. Draw the rule of thirds grid in each image. Does the rule apply? Which image has been framed the best? Justify your decisions.

Camera Composition Camera Work Exercise - You will be screened an extract from a British TV drama, with the purpose of analysing the camera composition and camera angles used. - Watch the sequence straight through without writing anything down. - In the storyboard template provided, create sketches of three camera shots that struck you as particularly important or memorable.
Camera Composition Camera Work Exercise - Compare the three shots that stood out for you. - Talk about: i) The type of shot, angle and position of the camera in each sketch. ii) The viewpoint of each sketch (whose perspective were you looking from?) iii) The impact / emotion created by each shot. iv) What makes each shot memorable.
