Practice Shots

This is an extreme close up, showing detail and focusing on one specific thing, whilst bringing the viewers focus on to the details/small things in the frame.

This could be seen as an establishing shot. It shows the opening scene to a room, meaning the viewer gets to see where the characters are/what the location and setting are like.

This is a high angle shot, making the subject look less powerful in comparison to the person 'standing above them' - look weaker and more vulnerable.

This is an over the shoulder shot, usually used in conversations between two people, shot over one persons shoulder.

This is a low angle shot, showing the person as more dominant than the subject, shot from below eye level, making them look more powerful.

This is a mid shot. It is from a persons stomach to the top of their head, often used to show a persons facial expression as well as their body language.

This is a two shot, showing two people in one frame together, possibly showing the conversation between the two or the tension between the two characters in the scene.
