15. Use high- and low-camera angles with
caution. High angles tend to shorten the
legs of a person. Low angles may distort the
body and face of the subject. Of course,
watch for objects that seem to be growing
out of or are balanced on a person's head.
16. Extreme Long Shots
An extreme long shot
(ELS) is used to
portray a vast area
from an apparently
very long distance.
An ELS is used to
impress the viewer
with the immense
scope of the setting
or scene. An ELS is
best usually when
made with a
stationary camera.
17. Long Shots
A long shot (LS) shows the
entire screen area where
the action is to take
place. The setting, the
actors, and the props
are shown with LS to
acquaint the audience
with their overall
appearance and location
within the scene.
18. Medium Shots
A medium shot (MS) is usually
used between a long shot
and a close up shot. After the
scene location has been
established with an LS, the
camera is moved closer to
the main subject or a longer
focal-length lens is used to
bring the main element of
the scene into full frame or
near full-frame size.
19. Close up Shots
The close up shot (CU) fills a frame with the
most important part of a scene. The CU should
include only action of primary interest The
portion selected of an overall scene, such as a
face, a small object, or a small part of the
action, may be filmed with a close up shot.
Close up give the audience a detailed view of
the most important part or action within a
scene.
20. Extreme Close up Shots
Very small objects or areas or small portions of
large objects can be photographed with an
extreme close up shot (ECU), so their images
are magnified on the screen. Small machine
parts, such as calibrations on a ruler or a
match at the end of a cigarette, can be very
effective when shown on a full screen in an
ECU.
