Camera Shots & Angles (Done)

Types of shot:
ECU: (Extreme Close Up) So close that the camera is usually only focused on one important thing.
CU: (Close Up) Usually used to focus on someones facial expression and normally only includes the face and nothing else.
MS: (Mid Shot) This includes peoples head, neck and half their torso, if you include two people it would be called a "Two shot".
LS: (Long Shot) This normally includes the whole length of a person but with not too much room above or below them.
ELS: (Extreme Long Shot) So far away that you can see the whole of the subject and alot of its surrounding, this is normally used to establish location.


Types of Angles:
WEV: (Worms Eye View) This is an extremely low angle, from below looking up as if you were looking from a worms point of view.
Low Angle: This makes the subject look bigger and more significant, this is filmed form below.
Eye Level: This is neither high nor low and is a neutral camera angle.
High Angle: This makes the subject look smaller, this is filmed from above.
BEV: (Birds Eye View) This is an extremely high angle, from above looking down as if you were looking from a birds point of view.
