Camera Shots

Camera shots

 

 

We have taken different types shots of shots that are normally used in horror films, we can link these in when making our own film.

 

 

 

Extreme close up - These are effectively used in horror films to show the characters emotion and to  be uncomfortably close to a person like this is quite frightening. It adds dramatic effects to the shot. Its also intimidating and a very useful shot for our horror of genre. The close-up takes us into the mind of a character. In reality, we only let people that we really trust get THAT close to our face - mothers, children and lovers, usually - so a close up of a face is a very intimate shot. A film-maker may use this to make us feel extra comfortable or extremely uncomfortable about a character, and usually uses a zoom lens in order to get the required framing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Mid shot- Contains a figure from the knees/waist up and is normally used for dialogue scenes, or to show some detail of action

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Long shot- contains landscape but gives the viewer a more specific idea of setting. A long shot may show the viewers the building where the action will take place.

High angle shot: Not so extreme as a bird's eye view. The camera is elevated above the action using a crane to give a general overview. High angles make the object photographed seem smaller, and less significant (or scary). The object or character often gets swallowed up by their setting - they become part of a wider picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Low angle shot- These increase height and give a sense of speeded motion. Low angles help give a sense of confusion to a viewer, of powerlessness within the action of a scene. The background of a low angle shot will tend to be just sky or ceiling, the lack of detail about the setting adding to the disorientation of the viewer. The added height of the object may make it inspire fear and insecurity in the viewer, who is psychologically dominated by the figure on the screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Over shoulder shot-  over is a shot of someone or something taken from the perspective or camera angle from the shoulder of  another person. The back of the shoulder and head of this person is used to frame the image of whatever (or whomever) the camera is pointing toward. This type of shot is very common when two  characters are having a discussion and will usually follow an  establishing shot which helps the audience place the characters in their setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Extreme Long Shot- This can be taken from as much as a quarter of a mile away, and is generally used as a scene-setting, establishing shot. It normally shows an EXTERIOR, eg the outside of a building, or a landscape, and is often used to show scenes of thrilling action eg in a war film or disaster movie. There will be very little detail visible in the shot, it's meant to give a general impression rather than specific information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reaction Shot- To show emotion reaction of character used well in horror or thriller films
