What is Cinematography? : "Cinematography is looking at how a shot is framed, the angle it is taken in and the movement of the camera." Despite Breaking down the definition the meaning is very much in the word cinema & tography its the methods and techniques used to record/ film in the cinema.
Types of camera angles
The most basic camera angle is the stationary shot (camera stays in one place) the different types of stationary shot are:
XLS- Extreme longshot: ( more than head to toe ) extreme longshot shows the audience more than just the character it also gives enough room to show the environment around them this is good because it can show if an antagonist is creeping up on a character.
LS - Long Shot: Longshot is a good frame when it comes to a character finally revealing themselves (which ends the anxiety build up)
MS - Mid Shot
mid shot allows
MCU - Medium Close-Up
CU - Close Up
XCU - Extreme Close-Up
ES - Establishing Shot

Amani, a really good attempt to the post here. I like how you have included images of yourself to demonstrate the different camera shot sizes and angles.
ReplyDeleteTo improve;
-when you introduce shot sizes, you have written angles, change this please.
-provide definitions for all the examples, even if it is a brief one
-provide definition and discussion on character representation for the angles
-can you also mention the camera movements we looked at in class?
