CAMERA SHOTS
by Alyssa Massey
1. Big-Close Up Shot: Cut off chin and top of head.
2. Long Shots-Contains full human figure or view.
3. MidShot-Cuts subject off at waist if talent standing or below waist if sitting.
4. Close-up shot-Contains head and shoulder shot of the individual.
5. The rule of thirds-draw 2 horizontal and 2 vertical lines equally on sheet of paper.—much like a tick-tac-toe diagram. The 4 points where lines intersect.
6. High Angle-Viewpoint captured by standing above subjects.
7. Low Angle-captured by lying on floor or kneeling.
8. Head Room-Do not leave too much space above a subjects-head creates an unbalanced shot.
9. Fill the Frame-getting close to subject to fill picture.
10. Frame the Shot-Frame your subject so that there is more space in the direction the subject.
