Talent Exporting and Publishing Production Cinematography Cinematography is the act of capturing photographic images in space through the use of a number of controllable elements. This include but are not limited to:
Focus Length Framing Scale Movement Production Cinematography Type Of Shots - Focal Length Deep Focus Deep Focus is keeping everything in frame in focus. This can be achieved by having a small aperture (f/stop) and lots of light - this give a crisp clear image. It is good for establishing shots featuring a large group of people. Production Cinematography Type Of Shots - Focal Length
Shallow Focus Shallow focus is only keeping one element in focus and the rest blurred. This can be achieved by having a large aperture (small f/ stop). It can be used for close up’s. Production Cinematography Type Of Shots - Scale Close Up A shot that keeps only the face full in the frame. Perhaps the most important building block in cinematic storytelling.
Medium Shot The shot that utilizes the most common framing in movies, shows less than a long shot, more than a close-up. Obviously. Production Cinematography Type Of Shots - Scale
Long Shot A shot that depicts an entire character or object from head to foot. Not as long as an establishing shot. Aka a wide shot. Production Cinematography Dutch Tilt Shot Type Of Shots - Framing A shot where the camera is tilted on its side to create a kooky angle. Often used to suggest disorientation. Beloved by German Expressionism, Tim Burton, Sam Raimi and the designers of the villains hideouts in '60s TV Batman. Low Angle Shot A shot looking up at a character or subject often making them look bigger in the frame. It can make everyone look heroic and/or dominant. Also good for making cities look empty. Production Cinematography Type Of Shots - Movement Dolly/Tracking Shot A shot that follows a subject be it from behind or alongside or in front of the subject. Not as clumsy or random as a panning shot, an elegant shot for a more civilised age. Production Cinematography Type Of Shots - Movement Crane Shot A shot where the camera is placed on a crane or jib and moved up or down. Often used to show the audience a journey or reveal hidden treasure/landscape etc Production Cinematography Type Of Shots - Movement Pan Shot A shot where the camera moves continuously right to left or left to right. An abbreviation of "panning". Production Cinematography Type Of Shots - Movement Zoom Shot A shot deploying a lens with a variable focal length that allows the cinematographer to change the distance between camera and object without physically moving the camera. Production Cinematography Type Of Shots - Movement Tilt Shot A shot where the camera moves continuously Up to Down or Down To Up. A vertical panning shot. A tilt to the sky is traditionally a last shot in a movie. Production Cinematography Type Of Shots - Movement Stedicam Shot A shot from a isolated balanced camera that allows for a smooth, fluid movement. Around since the late '70s. Same effect can be achieved just by carrying Camera and using post production software - warp stabiliser - Ae and Pp Production Cinematography Type Of Shots - Movement Media Semester 2 TV & Video Production 3 Main Area’s
