  2. Camera Shots • ES: Establishing Shot - long shots that establish the background or setting of the film. Very common in the opening scenes of a film. • LS: Long Shot - characters may be seen from head to doe. • MS: Medium Shot - characters are shown from the waist up - if there are two characters its called a two shot , three characters a three shot ... and so on.

  3. Camera Shots • CU: Close Up - a camera may zoom in to highlight or emphasise a character’s facial expression. Often used in moments of tension, suspense or conflict. • BCU: Big close up - shows only one part of an object or perhaps only one section of a character’s face.

  4. Camera Angles • HIGH ANGLE: When the camera looks down at a character - this is called a high angle shot. - May suggest the character is in a weak, dangerous or vulnerable position in the scene. • LOW ANGLE: If the camera looks up at a character may suggest the character is in a position of authority or is respected or feared.

  5. Camera Angles • NEUTRAL ANGLE: The camera is at eye level, neither looking down at nor up to the characters.
