Cinematography

Medium Shot: A medium shot shows part of the subject in more detail, you can still see hand gestures and movement.         

Long Shot: A long shot is used to allow the audience to see the character's body language. 

Extreme Long Shot/ Establishing Shot: This allows the audience to see the character's surroundings and the characters themselves. This shot focuses on the overall image.

Medium Long Shot: The subject is visible in the shot yet the audience can also see their surroundings. 

Canted/ Dutch Tilt: A canted/ Dutch tilt is a camera shot where the camera angle is deliberately slanted to one side. This shot creates the feeling of uneasiness and disorientation

Tilt Up: The camera tilts vertically up

Tilt Down: The camera tilts vertically down Tracking/Dolly Shot: The camera is placed on a moving vehicle and moves alongside the action- normally following a track. Crane: A crane shot allows the camera to shoot in the air- it can move up, down, left, right, swooping in on action or moving diagonally. Handheld: This gives a jerky and frantic effect- the camerawork is not smooth. Aerial/Birdseye:  The camera is taken from a helicopter  or any high angle which establishes the setting and movement. Zoom: This changes the magnification of a shot. This changes the position of the audience quickly or slowly.
