Research: Interesting shot types and angles

I decided to research some interesting camera shots and camera angles which we might be able to use when filming our own film.

Camera Shots
- A full shot contains a complete view of the characters. From this shot, viewers can take in the costumes of characters and many also help to demonstrate the relationship between characters. This type of shot could be used when filming the scene when all of the characters arrive at the camp site.

- A mid shot contains the characters or a character from the waist up. From this shot, viewers can see the character's faces more clearly as well as their interaction with other characters. This type of shot could be used when we film all of the characters meeting in front of the train station.

- An extreme close-up contains a part of a character's face or other object. This technique is quite common in horror films. This type of shot creates an intense mood and provides interaction between the audience and the viewer. This type of shot could be used when we see all of the characters packing a leaflet for the music festival which is happening at the camp site. This leaflet will connect all of the characters.

Camera Angles

- A low angles is a camera angle that looks up at a character. This is the opposite of a high angle and makes a character look more powerful.This can make the audience feel vulnerable and small by looking up at a character. This could be used when filming the arrival of the killer.
