Camera techniques I may use...

Extreme long shot/establishing shot-establishes physical context of action; shows landscape and architectural exteriors

Long shot -shows a large scale action; shows whole groups of people; displays large architectural details

Medium shot- small groups such as two or three people

Close-up- focus on one character; facial expression very important

Extreme close-up- facial features in a character or small objects



Framing where people etc. are placed within the frame ( composition)

Angles high angle/birds eye view ( filmed from above)

Aerial shot - (filmed from helicopter)

Low Angle - worms eye view filmed from below

Movement - pan/panning ( camera moves on a pivot left right

tilt - camera attached to moving object to follow action

Tracking - tracking shot (camera attached to moving object to follow the action)

zoom - camera moves in on a object/moves out from the object

short take - shot lasts for a short time

Long take - camera lingers on the frame


EDITING

cutting and splicicng the footage to create the finshed text.
editing techniiques...

Quick cuts - shot moves rapidly from one frame/shot to the next
Fade (fade to black) - one shot fades away to black and the next shot fades in
dissolve - one shot fades out as the next shot simultaneously fades in
wipe - a shot is literally wiped of fthe screen by another
slow motion a sequence is slowed down
fast motion a sequence sped
Stop motion a series of still shots or drawings etc. are taken with a still camera and mixed into a moving image programme to create a digital animation sequence
