Shot and Angle.

You guys already have experiences about camera shot and angle as well. Last semester comm316, we learnt how to shoot each different angle and shots. I think this is the most importat of our major film production so i edited more essential parts and these photos are low angle shot and high angle shot respectively.

Angle refers to the position of the camera and the position of the camera and the direction in which it is pointing. The choice of angle significantly affects the way the images are perceived by the audiences, as well as the psychological effect of the composition.

Diefenbach (2008, p.34) explains about basic shot types which can be divided about 6 or more shots.

LS (long shot): The area of coverage contained, sometimes also called a side shop, can vary greatly depending on the context.

MS (medium shot): This shot of a human subject generally captures all of the person’s head, shoulders, and body from about the chest up. The exact cutoff marks for a medium shot vary depending on the artist and the content of the composition.

ECU (extreme close up shop): as defined by the scale of the objects in the frame which might call for an extreme close up isolates the details of a person or an object.

MLS( medium long shot): this shot is longer than a medium shot but tighter than a long shot.

MCU (medium close up shot): another variation of this type is this shot. Sometimes shots are defined by the number of characters in the composition, such as a two shot and a three-shot.
