In my lesson yesterday I learned about all the different types of camera shots that are possible in film making, here they are:
- Extreme Close Up (ECU)
- Big Close Up (BCU)
- Close Up (CU)
- Medium Close Up (MCU)
- Medium Shot (MS)
- Medium Long Shot (MLS)
- Long Shot (LS)
- Establishing Shot (ES)
- High Angle Shot (HAS)
- Low Angle Shot (LAS)
- Birds Eye View (BEV)
- Dutch Angle (DA)
- Eye Level Shot (ELS)
- Reverse Angle Shot (RAS)
I looked at a clip from star wars, a film by George Lucas (see bellow), of a action scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRd9PGmAQUE In this scene there is many different camera shots used, I noticed that there were many medium long shots used so that you could see the sheer size difference between the characters, making the fight seem a lot more impressive. There is also a few big close ups used so that you can see the emotion on the characters faces, showing the audience exactly how they feel so that we feel the emotion with them.
