Camera Shots

The past two lessons my group and I have been looking at different camera movements, then we got given the task to make a short clip explaining each of these camera movements with an example. The camera movements we put on the example were; tilt, tracking, crab, arc, crane, zoom and panning.

Camera Angles.

I was asked to research three camera angles; High angle, Low angle, Canted angle and explain why these angles are used.

Definitions of Match-on-Action and Shot-reverse-shot 

Match-on-Action 
Cutting from one shot to another which matches the first shot action.



Shot-reverse-shot
Where one character is shown looking, then switching shots so the second character would be looking at the first, this would make the viewer assume the characters are looking at each other.



Eye line shot. 
The viewer sees what the character is seeing, so it would be a shot of the character looking at something off screen then a shot of what ever they were looking at off screen.
