(5) Check this out! More camera angles, yes!

I knew you'd want some more 😉

and I've got you covered!!

Today I wanted to demonstrate to you some more camera angles and shots!!

The first camera angle is the establishing shot

This shot is used to establish the location and environment of a scene and can also set the mood while giving the audience visual clues of the day, time, and general situation. For example in the establishing shot you can tell it's within a school.

Another angle similar to the establishing shot is the master shot

This shot is meant to focus not as much on the location, but more on all the subjects in the scene, smaller shots can be interwoven into the master shot.

Moving on, I have the close-up up shot

This shot is taken very close to the subject and has the subject fill most of the frame, the purpose is to emphasize the subject or a small feature of theirs. For example in the photo it appears like he's thinking and you can deduce this by his facial expressions. Any closer and this would've been an extreme close-up.

But, stepping away from our subject I present to you our next angle, the mid-shot

This shot focuses on the upper half of a single subject or subjects to show part of them in more detail while also presenting some environment

These shots are great and all, but lets talk about some more interesting ones!

Stepping far back and above, we have the Bird's Eye View shot!

(I'm chilling so hard...) This shot is made to show the audience a wider view and is taken directly overhead the subject to show the subject's movements, and even outside boundaries from the subject's awareness.

Another cool shot is the Point-of-view shot

This shot is intended to mimic what a subject or character in a scene is seeing, this allows them to put themselves in the character's head and experience their emotional state. Or in this case you can really feel my...hmm, well you can see what I'm looking at, interpret that as you will.

Here is one of my last shots I have for you, the Two-shot

This shot is meant to have two subjects in the frame and is typically used to show romance, tension, and action. In this example you can really see the actions between me and the subject, (as I seem to have my hair over my eyes '-' hmm)

My final shot for you beautiful people is the Over-the-shoulder shot

This popular shot is when the subject is shot behind the shoulder of another, this can be to show actions or emphasize connections during interactions between two characters.

Well my friends, there you have it, I hope you've learned something interesting about shots and angles.

Thanks for reading!
