When it comes to creating a film, tv program or informative video you must think and plan how the video will be shot.
Movies will use a number of different angles and camera shots to convey a number of moods and settings that help give an identity to a film.
Long shots are done by positioning the camera at a distance to be able to get all assets and actors in the shot.
Medium shots are used allow the actor to be in focus but not filling the complete frame of the film
Find films that are your favorite and search for where these above shots have been used. Reflect on why they have been used. What other shot could have been used?
What type of camera shot is this?, What is used for?, What can we tell about the character/background from this shot?
What type of camera angle is this?, What is used for?, What can we tell about the character/surroundings from this shot?
