  13. Camera Shots • Extreme close-up (XCU) • Contains one part of the subject’s face/other object. • Usually quite detailed. • Often creates an intense mood. • Provides an “interaction” between the subject and viewer due to the frame being filled with one thing.

  16. Camera Angles • Bird’s eye angle • Looks directly down on a scene. • Let’s be realistic, very little use in photojournalism and very few opportunities to do this outside of a helicopter. • High angle • Looking down on a subject. • Creates the impression that the subjectis small or vulnerable. • Eye-level angle • At eye-level... of course. • Creates an equal level relationship. • Low angle • Looks up at the subject. • Creates the impression that the subject is powerful or strong. • Can be used to make the viewer feel small or vulnerable. http://revision4gcses.wordpress.com/media-studies/camera-anglesmovementshots/
