List of shots that may be used

There are a lot of shots that can be used, in my film i will use many different ones to show i can produce a film with a lot of different techniques used.


Shots i may use are:

Close ups - these are used to show the feelings of a character or something important like an object.


medium shot - this is used to show half of the subject for example the character from the waist up.


long shot - this shows the whole character.


establishing shot - this normally is used at the start of a scene and shows where the scene is, for example set at a train station will show the atmosphere and trains coming in.


reaction shot - which shows the reactions of people's words on people around them.


I will try to use all of these at one point of my trailer, this will show my techniques. There are also many camera angles that i will you when creating my trailer, these are:


high angle shot - this shows everything above eye level creating a sense of power to the audience and making characters seem helpless and weak.


eye level - neutral showing everyone is equal.


low angle - looking up at the character, gives people the impression of a strong leader, powerful.


These are just a few that i will use when creating my trailer. The camera has different movements which i may also use in my trailer, these are:


Tracking - this is when the camera follows the subject, for example follows the character walking, camera moves left to track them.


Dollying - this is when the camera's position changes by moving forward or backwards.


Panning - when the camera stays in the same position but moves left or right, this can show people around them or the scenery.


Tilting - when the camera moves up or down, for example the camera looks up at the sky.


Zoom in/ Zoom out - this is when the character focuses on something and can zoom into it for example zooms into ring on characters finger then zooms back out.


I will use most of these when creating my film trailer.
