Filming Techniques - Throughout the Production of Our Opening Sequence I Will Hope to Use a Range of Techniques to Tell and Convey the Messages of Our Story

Filming Techniques - Throughout the production of our opening sequence I will hope to use a range of techniques to tell and convey the messages of our story. Below are a number of techniques we could use, however only some can be used; Aerial Shot – An exterior shot filmed from the air. Often used to establish a location Arc Shot – A shot in which the subject is circled by the camera. Bridging Shot – A shot that denotes a shift in time or place. Close Up – A shot that keeps only the face in full frame. Medium Shot – The shot that utilizes the most common framing in productions. Long Shot – A shot that depicts an entire character or object from head to toe. Cowboy Shot – A shot framed from mid-thigh up, so called because of its recurrent use in western films. Deep Focus – A shot that keeps the foreground, middle ground and background all in sharp focus. Dolly Zoom – A shot that sees the camera track forward while simultaneously zooming out creating a woozy, vertiginous effect. Dutch Tilt – A shot where the camera is tilted on its side to create a kooky angle, often used to suggest disorientation. Establishing Shot – A shot, at head of the scene, that clearly shows the locale the action is set in. Handheld Shot – A shot in which the camera operator hold s the camera during motion to create a jerky, immediate feel. Low Angle Shot – A shot looking up at a character or subject often making them look bigger in the frame. It can make anyone look heroic and/or dominant. High Angle Shot – A shot looking down on a character or subject often isolating them in the frame. Locked-Down Shot – A shot where the camera is fixed in one position while the action continues off-screen. It suggests life is messy and cannot be contained by the camera. Library Shot – A pre-existing shot of a location – typically a wild animal that is pulled from a library. Over The Shoulder – A shot where the camera is positioned behind one‟s shoulder, usually during a conversation. Pan – A shot where the camera moves continuously right to left or left to right, an abbreviation of “panning.” POV Shot – “Point Of View” shot that depicts the view of the character as to see exactly what they‟re seeing. Sequence Shot – A long shot that covers a scene in its entirety in one continuous sweep without editing. Tilt – A shot where the camera moves continuously up to down or sown to up, essentially a vertical panning shot. Top Shot – A shot looking directly down on a scene rather than at an angle, otherwise known as a „birds-eye-view‟ shot. Tracking Shot – A shot that follows a subject be it from behind or alongside or in front of the subject. Two Shot – A medium shot that depicts two people in the frame, used when aiming to establish a bond between them. Zoom – A shot deploying a lens with a variable focus length that allows the cinematographer to change the distance with the subject without moving the camera. .
