Analysis of Camera Work

List of shots and what they show and how it helps me with my analysis:

Establishing shot - The setting/scene.
Often the first shot you see in a TV programme.

Helicopter shot - Portrays a high production value in the film.

Master shot -  Reveals where the action is occurring.

Long shot - A person from head to feet, demonstrating their body language, appearance, and the location they're in. 

Medium shot - From the waist up.
Often used when there's more than one person in a shot. 

Close up - A shot of their face, indicating their emotion and reaction to something that's just happened.

Extreme close up - Would focus on them doing something; pouring a drink or having a drink when it's got poison in, pulling the trigger of a gun when they're about to shoot somebody. 
It brings the audiences attention to focus on what the producers of the film/programme wanted to do. 

Camera movement (any movement of the camera)

1) Pan/Panning - A panorama clip. 
A way to show information regarding location.

2) Tilt - A pan shot in a vertical formation, usually used to scan the body of an attractive female; more common than scanning the body of a man. 

3) Dolly shot - Where the camera tripod is put on wheels and then moved smoothly along. It shows you something outside of the frame.

4) Steady cam - When it's obvious that the camera is moving but not in a controlled "dolly way" - where the camera is put on something steady and balanced in the middle.

Camera angles

1) High - Going to look down on something/someone and make the character in shot more vulnerable and weaker. 

2) Low - Going to look up to something/someone and make them seem more powerful and stronger. 

3) Cantered angle - where the camera is at an angle itself; not straight, on a diagonal.
