  1. Cinematography: Framing

  2. Angle, Level, Height and Distance of Framing • Infinite number of Angles • 3 Typical: High, Low, Straight On Straight On Low Angle High Angle

  3. Level and Height • Camera Parallel to Horizon, but can tilt • Can be stationed at a certain height according to settings/figures • No universal cut off to say what is what when it comes to any of these categories

  4. Distances: Close Ups Close Up Extreme Close Up

  5. Distances: Medium Shots Medium Close Up Medium Long Shot Medium Shot

  9. Types of Mobile Framing • Pan- rotates on vertical axis • Tilt- rotates on horizontal axis • Tracking/dolly- camera as a whole changes position, traveling in any direction along the ground • crane-camera moves above ground level  rises or descends • Handheld- not smooth, bumpy, jiggly “life like” • Steadicam- Body worn camera; smoothly follow actors stairs, walking, vehichles • ANY kind of camera movement can be considered • Why move the frame?!
