  1. Terms and phrases you’ll need to analyze film! Learning the Language

  2. Overview • Camera shots • Camera angles • Camera movement/Tracking • Editing • Sound

  3. Camera Shots • Long Shot • Medium Shot • Close-Up • Extreme Close-up

  4. Long Shot • A long shot is a shot taken from a distance to show a landscape, scenery, or a crowd.

  5. Medium Shot • A medium shot is a shot between a close-up and a long shot. Usually shows a character ‘s whole body or from the waist up. Used frequently in television sitcoms.

  6. Close-Up • A shot of an object or person that fills the entire screen.

  7. Extreme Close-Up • Even closer than a close-up. Focusing in on one specific object or part of a person that fills up the entire screen.

  8. Camera Angles • Used to show images from different perspectives. • Three distinct types of angles: High Angle Eye Level Low Angle

  9. High Angle • When the camera is looking down at whatever is being filmed. • Used to show weakness; being looked down upon.

  10. Eye Level • A shot that shows the view from a human’s point of view. Camera and object are parallel to the ground. • Commonly used in all types of film.

  11. Low Angle • When the camera is looking up at whatever is being filmed. • Sometimes used to show power.

  12. Camera Movement • Pan • Tilt • Zoom

  13. Pan (not used for cooking!) • When the camera “pans,” it is moving horizontally from one object to another without a break.

  14. Tilt • Similarly to “panning,” a tilt is when the camera moves up and down, vertically, instead of horizontally.

  15. Zoom • Gives the impression that the camera is either moving closer to whatever is being filmed, or farther away. The camera can zoom in or out.

  16. Editing • In film and television, the most popular types of editing are: Cut Cross-Cut

  17. Cut! • The most common type of transition. • One scene ends and one scene begins. • Goes virtually unnoticed by audience!

  18. Cross-Cut • Camera focuses from one object to another, and back to the first object using cuts. • Used to create suspense, show characters reacting to situations or other characters.

  19. Sound • Sound can be used in many ways to add effect to a piece of film. • Music, narration, voice-overs, and sound effects are common in movies and television.

  20. Types of Sound • Diegetic sound: noise that is heard by the characters in the film. Ex: Character’s voices, music from the scene, noises heard by characters such as car horns or wind. • Non-diegetic sound: Noise that isn’t heard by characters in the film Ex: Narration, mood music
