Learning Tasks: Film Shots

These are some particular film shots that we achieved and learnt about today. It was interesting to consider so many shots that (could be in) a film have. There are a few shots that we have achieved which will be mentioned. I have used images from an ordinary view, a film view and any filming that we did.

1. EWS (Extreme Wide Shot)
 












Normally this is 100% zoomed out and is normally (doesn't mean it had to be) a shot of the landscape much like the photo above. Ordinarily the character is hidden but still in the background or there is no character yet and just a causal photo of the landscape to set the scene.



2. VWS (Very Wide Shot)
Very Wide Shot













This is a 90% zoomed in and still a shot of the scenery.



3. WS (Wide Shot)
















This is a 40% zoomed in picture and has the whole subject/s in the photo. This can also just be a setting but there needs to be a clear subject to the shot.



4. MS (Mid Shot)

Mid Shot













This is a 40% zoom which shows some part of the subject on more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject.




5. MCU (Medium Close-Up)

Medium Close Up















This is a 30% zoom and is half way between a MS and CU



6. CU (Close-Up)

Close Up 











This is a 20% zoom and a certain feature or part of the subject that takes up the whole frame.


7. ECU (Extreme Close Up)

    












This has a 10% zoom and the ECU gets right in and shows extreme detail.



8. Cut-In

cut-in 

It has a 10% zoom and it shows some (other) part of the subject in detail.


9. CA (Cutaway)

Cutaway

A shot of something other than the setting/character/subject


10. Two-Shot 













                                 













A shot of two people, framed similarly to a mid shot. 


11. OSS (Over-The-Shoulder)

Looking from behind a person at the subject. 


12. Noddy Shot

It usually refers to a shot of the interviewer listening and reacting to the subject.


13. POV (Point-Of-View)

It shows a view from the subject's perspective. 


14.Weather Shot

The subject is the weather and can be used for other purposes e.g. background for graphics.
