Basic Cinematography Camera Angle High Angle — camera looks down on subject Eye Level — camera looks straight on to subject Low Angle — camera looks up to subject Effects of Camera Angles High — tends to make subject smaller Eye — tends to show equivalences Low — tends to make subject larger

    5. Basic Cinematography Camera Movement Static Shot — no movement; most common shot Pan — camera moves left and right on the horizontal plane Tilt — camera moves up and down on the vertical plane Tracking — camera moves along with the subject Tripod shot — camera is mounted on a tripod to insure steadiness and smoothness of movement Handheld — camera is held by camera operator; results in a more intimate feel—very hard to do well Zoom – change in focal length of lens to move closer or farther away from the subject

    6. Basic Cinematography Clean Exit/Clean Entrance Leading Look—psychological space Head Room/Nose Room Cutting on the Action Pacing 10 second shots = 6 shots a minute 5 second shots = 12 shots a minute 3 second shots = 20 shots a minute Rule of Thirds

    19. Basic Sequence Change in Image Size and Angle

    20. Montage Sequence A series of images/shots arranged to create a particular mood rather than a narrative Can have a “theme” or point Often set to music Images are often juxtaposed to highlight contrast and conflict If the Basic Sequence is Video “Prose,” then a Montage Sequence is Video “Poetry”
