VISUAL DICTIONARY
Extreme close- A photograph or a movie shot in which the subject is tightly framed and shown at a relatively large scale.
Medium close-up: The extreme close-up shot is traditionally used in film to allow the viewer to enter the character’s intimate space, revealing certain characteristics and emotions that would otherwise go unnoticed from afar.
Medium long shot: An intermediate shot between the long shot and the medium shot. Shows the subject in relation to the surroundings. May be used when you have 2 or 3 persons in the frame.
Wide shot: Is a camera angle that shows the entire object or person and their relation to what surrounds them.
Extreme long shot: An extremely wide angle shot at long-range or using a short focal-length lens, showing a broad, vast, panoramic view.
Low angle: a photograph or film sequence taken from below the subject.
High angle: A high-angle shot is a cinematic technique where the camera looks down on the subject from a high angle and the point of focus often gets "swallowed up.
Eye level: An eye level shot refers to when the level of your camera is placed at the same height as the eyes of the characters in your frame.
