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.
