  1. Film Terminology

  2. Framing/Shots • Long Shot: a shot taken from some distance; shows the full subject and perhaps the surrounding scene as well

  3. Framing/Shots 2. Establishing Shot: sets the scene or shows the space of a scene; often a long shot or series of shots

  4. Framing/Shots 3. Close-up: the image being shot takes up at least 80% of the frame. There is also the extreme close-up that would show one part of the body or a portion of an object.

  5. Framing/Shots 4. Medium shot: in between a long and short shot; people are seen from the waist up

  6. Focus 5. Soft focus: when a director intentionally puts his or her object slightly out of focus to make the image look softer or unclear; may appear fuzzy

  7. Focus 6. Rack focus: when a director shifts the focus form one object to another in the same shot in order to direct the audience’s attention

  8. Focus 7. Deep focus: when the foreground and background are equally in focus

  9. Camera Angles 8. Low Angle: camera shoots subject from below/ has the effect of making the subject look larger than normal—strong, powerful, threatening

  10. Camera Angles 9. High angle: camera is above the subject; usually has the effect of making the subject look smaller than normal—weak, powerless, trapped

  11. Camera Angles 10. Eye level: accounts for 90-95% of the shots seen because it is most natural; camera is even with the key character’s eyes

  12. Camera Angles 11. Dutch or Canted angle: shot that is tilted sideways on the horizontal line; used to add tension to a static frame; it creates a sinister or distorted view of a character
