Shot types

There are many different types of camera angles and shot types that can be used to create a setting during a film.

1. Extreme close up.

The first shot I have chosen is an extreme close up is mainly used during a tense or dramatic scene to create suspense. This type of shot would be extremely effective in our film as it would set the scene and make it easy to establish the genre of our film. 

2. Close up.

The second shot i have chosen is a close up shot. This type of shot is effective when it comes to identifying the facial expressions of the person/character which then expresses to the audience what type of situation they are in. This type of shot is is also an effective camera angle to use for our film as it can add tension to the situation.

3. The third shot type is the Medium shot This shot is used to help the audience always be aware of the setting possibly because something may happen. In our movie, we will have the victim in a medium shot with a garage visible. This is important because he will later get thrown into that garage door.

Here we've got a medium shot to remind us that there has been a murder in this room and a medium shot helps the audience remember this without taking any prevalence away from him.

4. My fourth shot is a long shot. This is used to establish the setting and characters thus the long shot is also known as the Establishing shot. A long shot shows the person from top to bottom thus exposing more of the setting. We will try to use this shot to establish the alleyway and introduce the villains.

We see a long shot which helps establish the four characters and help the audience identify that thy will play some part in the movie and we also see the setting which tells me that they live together.

7. An extreme long shot focuses on where the movie will be set and is best used at the start of the movie or if the scene is changing. A good example of this is all three of the rush hour movies where they move from one country to another and that is where we see an extreme long shot.

This will be a extreme long shot for a movie set in Hollywood or even Los Angles.
