Camera Shots

Create your own pictorial glossary of Camera Shots as a Word document.

1. Collect a series of images to illustrate the different camera shots which could be used by a director.

2. Include an explanation of what effect these shots have on the viewer or why the director may choose them.

3. Watch a short clip from TV or Film and try to identify the shots being used. Write a short description of how the shots are used and suggest why you think the director has chosen them. How does it impact on the narrative and the audience's understanding of the character?
