Write down what the director wants us to
understand or feel when we see these two
close ups

EXTREME CLOSE UP
Focuses the audiences attention on small
details and these shots are often used more
for artistic effect, can give the audience a
sense of discomfort
LONG SHOT
Shows us the whole character, drawing
attention to costume and body language. Can
be used to offer perspective
EXTREME WIDE SHOT
The view is so far from the subject that he
isn't even visible. Often used as an
establishing shot.
POINT OF VIEW
When we the audience see exactly what he
character is seeing. This puts the audience in a
subjective position
MID SHOT
When we see the character from the waist up
with partial view of the setting in the
background. Used so we can focus on the
dialogue between two characters
MEDIUM LONG SHOT
When we see the character from the knees up
with partial view of the setting in the
background
BIRDS EYE VIEW
When the camera looks down on settings of characters from high above.
This shot does, however, put the audience in a godlike position, looking
down on the action. People can be made to look insignificant, ant-like,
part of a wider scheme of things.
LOW ANGLE SHOT
The camera is placed below a subject looking
up, it look larger and more powerful
HIGH ANGLE SHOT
When the camera looks down on a person or
object, it can look vulnerable. Not so extreme
as a bird's eye view.
