Camera Shots & Angles
-Extreme long shot: A wider frame value in which subjects in the frame are small; a building, cityscape.
-Long shot: A value of framing where the whole subject is relatively small enough to fit the height of the frame.
-Full shot: A type of long shot which includes the human body in full, with the head near the top of the frame and the feet near the bottom.
-Mid shot: A value of framing in which the subject is a bit smaller than a medium close-up; a human figure from the waist up.
-Close up: A value of framing where the size of the subject is relatively large and fills most of the frame. For instance a person’s head seen from the neck up, or an object seen in detail.
-Extreme close up: A closer frame value than a close-up; i.e. showing parts of the face or greater detail of an object.
.
-Birds eye: A shot in which the camera photographs a scene from directly overhead.
-High Angle: A shot in which the subject is photographed from above.
-Low Angle: A shot in which the subject is photographed from below.
-Eye level: The placement of the camera approximately 5 to 6 feet from the ground corresponding to the height of an observer on the scene.
My three favorite shots:
1. Long shot: I think the long shot is a good way to take a picture of the beautiful scenery.
When I take a picture of a nature or building, I would like to include all of surroundings so that it can fit into my angle.
2. Close up: In close up, the object fills most of the frame, so I can see what really this looks like.
It can discover the specific or unknown characteristic of the object.
3. Eye level: I think this is a good angle to close up an object. I do not want to distort the object so I can just take a picture of what it really is.
