Camera Angles and Shot types:

• Integral to cinematic language, establishes Perspective and Emotion
• Engages the audience by directing attention and context (understanding)

Shot sizes-

• Close up- frames the subject’s face and draws attention to expression or features
• Extreme CU- Even closer, e.g. eyes and nose = more intimate
• Medium shot- Around half of the boy and is useful when it comes to body language (movement isn’t necessary)
• Extreme Long shot- At a distance to the subject, establishes setting and environment

Camera Angles-

• Eye level- Most basic
• Low angle- Looks up to the subject = stronger and intimidating
• High angle- Looks down at the subject= small and weaker
• Dutch Angle (Tilted shot)- It creates tension, discomfort, indicates something is off
