Camera shots

In films there are many different types of camera shots that are used to create different moods and atmospheres during a movie of short film.

Ones that I have studied however include the mid shot, the close up, extreme close up, over the shoulder shot, point of view shot and also a panning shot.

A mid shot is when the subject takes up the frame or as much as possible.

The close ups are when the camera shows a specific part of a subject and it fits the whole frame,  in an extreme close up the feature is in full detail.


An over the shoulder shot is when you are looking from behind a person at the subject, this is manly used when conversations are being held.

A point of view shot is when the perspective of the subject is shown as if you are looking through their eyes.

A panning shot is when the camera follows the subject for example when they are walking.
