camera shots

After our tutor attended an inset (Nov) we began our blog today. We are going to sumarise what we have done so far.

In the week beginning 7/9/09 we did work based around TV dramas which is also relevant to section A of the exam, this also helps us in our coursework as we need to know what:

Camera shots: This is what you can see through the camera, basic common sense applied: a close-up is closer than a long shot as the names suggest. The attached image shows the different types of shots we studied
Camera angles: this is where the angle of which you take the shot.
Camera movement: this is the movement of the camera such as panning and zooming
The composition of the camera: this is how the shot is put together
Mise-en-scene: this is everything which is in the shot such as the background, the lighting, costumes, and the sounds in the background
Sound and editing: is the sound diegetic (sound which is already in the shot) or non diegetic (sound which is added into the shot in editing)
