HOW TO: Filmmaking Techniques, Camera Angles and Basic Shots. (TUTORIAL)



  • Extreme Long Shot
    The extreme long shot normally shows an EXTERIOR, the outside of a building, or a landscape, and is often used as a scene-setting.
  • Long Shot
    The long shot shows the full body of your actor or object while still maintaining plenty of background and detail.
  • Medium Shot
    The medium shot shows a figure from the knees/waist up and is normally used for dialogue scenes, or to show some detail of action.
  • Close up
    The close up shows very little background, and concentrates on either a face, or a specific detail.
  • Extreme Close Up
    The extreme close up generally magnifying beyond what the human eye would experience in reality.
  • Low Angle: The  low angles help give a sense of confusion to a viewer, of powerlessness within the action of a scene.
  • Pan : The pan is a  movement which scans a scene horizontally.
  • High Angle : The high angles make the object photographed seem smaller, and less significant (or scary).
  • Dolly Shot : The dolly shot is generally following a moving figure or object.
  • Zoom In : A zoom lens contains a mechanism that changes the magnification of an image.
  • Tilt : The tilt is a movement which scans a scene vertically, similar to a pan.
