Camera shots are used to demonstrate different aspects of a film's setting, characters and themes. As a result, camera shots are very important in shaping meaning in a film.
Hence getting to know about camera techniques was one of the major tasks we had.
here are the different techniques:
PAN :
Panning is when you move your camera horizontally; either left to right or right to left, while its base is fixated on a certain point
DOLLY;
A dolly is when you move the entire camera forwards and backwards, typically on some sort of track or motorized vehicle. This type of movement can create beautiful, flowing effects when done correctly.
TILT:
Tilting is when you move the camera vertically, up to down or down to up, while its base is fixated to a certain point.
TRACK;
Tracking is the same as dollying, only you are moving the camera from left to right instead of in and out.
ZOOM;
One of the most commonly used technique its when the focal length of the lens is increased with the camera stationary. Using this you can turn a mid shot into a close up without having to move the camera.
EXTREME LONG SHOT;
its also known as extreme wide shot, its when the camera is far away from the subject and focuses mainly on the surrounding and the environment.
LONG SHOT;
In this shot the subject is fully visible from the head to toes, it allows the viewer to have a better understanding of subject and is also know as the master shot.
MID SHOT;
A medium shot, also called a mid-shot or waist shot, is a type of camera shot in film and television that shows an actor approximately from the waist up. A medium shot is used to emphasize both the actor and their surroundings by giving them an equal presence on screen.
MID CLOSE UP;
Medium Close-Up Falls between a Medium Shot and a Close-Up, generally framing the subject from chest or shoulder up. Framed this tightly, the emotions and reaction of a character dominate the scene.
CLOSE UP;
In the close up shot, a certain feature or part of the subject takes up most of the frame. A close up of a person usually means a close up of their face (unless specified otherwise). Can also be useful for Cut-in's.
