These pictures on the right show six different camera frames and their description, a director may use an extreme close up or close to highlight detail either in a character to show importance in facial expressions or in an object to highlight its importance.
The pictures to the right and below show the remaining camera frame shots and their importance. Camera shots taken at a high angle can be used to show a more extreme view of everything happening for example a high speed police chase, and to heighten dramatic effects. Camera shots taken at a low angle are also used to heighten drama by making objects look or seem more intimidating.
Next I will be showing the dramatic effects and importance of different camera movements. This video shows the manny camera movements and how they are used in some famous films.
A pan or whip pan camera movement is used when the camera follows a particular object in a horizontal direction, often distorting the background and just focusing on the object;
A dolly or zoom dolly and a tracking shot are also used to follow action.
Zooming is usually used to show emotion in a characters face as yo can see every detail. A tilt is used as a reveal, to size up a building or character.
A crane movement can be used also as a reveal to show secrets or important events.
A steadicam would be used as a point of view shot, possibly to suggest dreams or fantasies.
A handheld camera shot shows instability as it is often very jerky.
