  1. Film / Photography Terminology News 9

  2. Cinematography • Refers to the camera work in a film • How the lighting and cameras are set up

  3. Shot • The basic unit of film.

  4. Boom Shot / Booming • Refers to the movement up or down of the camera and its mount or tripod.

  5. Close-Up • A shot which brings the subject very close to the camera. Close-ups are usually used for tense or intimate scenes, or to show reactions of characters.

  6. Crane Shot • A dramatic still or motion shot taken from a camera high up on a crane-like machine.

  7. Dissolve • A common transitional device; it is what happens when one image or scene fades out as another fades in. It indicates a chance in scene or time, or both.

  8. Dolly Shot • When the camera rolls toward or away from a subject. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZgUu6VFmAI

  9. Fade-In / Fade-Out • When images or film move from darkness to light, or move from light to darkness. Used simply, the two techniques combined might be used to suggest a lapse in time or a chance of scene.

  10. Hand-Held Shot • The camera is not held steady on its usual tripod, but instead is held in the hand, giving the sense of action, instability, or a character’s point of view (the degree of movement of the camera can vary). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D51QgOHrCj0 Whole movie done with the hand-held concept (stop at your discretion!)

  11. High Angle Shot • Is taken from a higher position shooting down on a subject, making the subject look small, unimportant, inferior, unheroic, lonely, or vulnerable.

  12. Long Shot • Is taken at some distance from the subject. It includes the entire bodies of actors and many details of the setting.

  13. Low Angle Shot • Is taken from a lower position shooting up at a subject, making the subject look important, heroic, stronger, superior, and larger-than-life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MDPeL8lpzo Titanic Makes use of the high angle shot, and the low angle shot. Many other shots in there too!

  14. Medium Shot • Probably the most common camera shot, showing subjects as from a moderate distance from the camera, with the top halves of the bodies showing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laU2MI6X48I&feature=related Shot types

  15. Montage • A combination of several carefully planned shots to present artistically a scene or create a mood. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8xHjC27YvM ROCKY?

  16. Pan (Panning) • A camera movement horizontally from one side to another. It is often used to suggest p.o.v. (what a character sees)

  17. P.O.V. (Point of View) • Usually refers to a camera as a character might see the action. It gives the sense of where the camera is placed to a shot and/or scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUwdMnEtEUI Charles Manson Ranch Dig Site Look for the Point of View provided by the camera, the pan shot at 0:17, and the dissolve at 0:24.

  18. Sequence • A series of shots put together to make up a continuous scene or episode

  19. Superimposition • Two shots, one on top of the other. This is often used for special effects such as ghosts or dream sequences http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agVUMPd_haw Random – but it gets the point across

  20. Take • A run-through or actual shooting of a sequence

  21. Tracking Shot • Is taken by a camera moving alongside the actor. The camera usually moves on rails, producing a smooth, seamless effect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFCb-iYTSg0&feature=related Kill Bill – whole scene a tracking shot

  22. Tilt Shot • The vertical up or down movement of the camera itself while it is on its stationary stand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47l_q4YjSc4 A scene from Citizen Kane Look for the bit of tilt to start, then the crane shot and boom shot that start the scene, then the dissolve, held at a medium shot range for the remainder of the scene.

  23. Wide Angle • What the human eye sees horizontally as recorded by a camera (often referred to as letterbox format). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBu9nAOlRRE&feature=related Cute?!

  24. Zoom • Refers to the movement of a camera from close-up to far away, or vice-versa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur7wFR-cFaA
