12 Film Shots
1. Cameo Shot
A cameo shot is a shot that focuses on a singular character against a plain, neutral, or black background. It was surprisingly difficult to associate an action against a neutral background or to even find a neutral background in my area of filming.
2. Close up Shot
A closeup shot is designed to focus on a very specific action in a small frame. This shot hones in on what the actor is doing, which is typing on a keyboard.
3. Long Shot
A shot where the subject is shown with the surroundings from fairly far away. This shot is simple but unsuspected subjects can be put into frame due to the scope of the shot.
10. Choker Shot
The only part shown in the shot is a figure cornered in a tight spot. This shot is designed to express discomfort as the subject and I both felt as the camera was centered only on the face.

4. Establishing Shot
A shot where the setting is in full view. In this shot, it is clear that the focus is on the Starbucks adjacent to the T-Mobile. The lighting was difficult to work with and keeping the camera steady was difficult as well.
5. Point of View Shot
A shot where the camera itself is a subject and is doing an action. This is a fun but not necessarily easy shot to pull off. My steps were shaky therefore the shot is not smooth.
6. Low Angle Shot
A low-angle shot takes the perspective from below the subjects, creating a unique angle for the action. I was able to achieve this shot by standing a floor below the subjects.
7. Eye Level Shot
This shot creates an intimacy or complete focus on the subject from a personable viewpoint. The shot itself has a lack of setting and the wholeness of the subject is lost.
8. Medium Shot
The medium shot is focused on the subjects from above the knees, therefore suitable for focused conversations between subjects, where movement is not integral to be captured.
9. Pan Shot
This shot is ideal for showing surroundings or landscapes because the shot is moved horizontally. It is difficult to keep the camera completely steady without the use of a tripod.
10. Choker Shot
The only part shown in the shot is a figure cornered in a tight spot. This shot is designed to express discomfort as the subject and I both felt as the camera was centered only on the face.
11. Follow Shot
This shot uses the camera as a character as well, where the viewer can tell that the camera is indeed following the subject. This would be much more easily filmed with the use of a dolly on a moving track to steady the shot.
12. High Angle Shot
Reminiscent of a birds-eye view, this shot is from above, peering over suspected or unsuspected subjects.
Good job, Lia. The best shots you chose to do were cameo, establishing shot, long shot, and low angle shot. The cameo had movement in it to portray an action in front of a neutral background, which is done perfectly. Establishing shots are meant to set up a scene and your choice of recording made me understand the setting and mood in a good way. The long shot was done very well because it had a fair enough distance but still kept the subjects close enough in the frame. Lastly, my favorite one was the low angle shot. It was shot at a perfect angle!
