Micro elements camera shots

• This is an extreme close-up of the main character and it shows him staring into the distance which suggests that he is thinking of something.

• Close-ups are used to show detail of the characters facial expressions, just as displayed below you can clearly see that something is bothering him.

• A medium close up will show the face more clearly without getting too close, in this image it shows the characters full persona and also anything that consists in the background.

• A long shot is when a single person will take up almost the full frame height showing his whole body language, this shot shows that army have just won the battle and are standing tall and brave.

• These shots are used to show everything in the background and to let us know of the surrounding and what is happening, for the image I have chosen to use you can see all of the characters in one scene by the sea.

• A tracking shot is when the camera is actually on tracks and when it is following someone or something in the frame.

• A cut-in is a close-up shot of something visible in the main scene and it can be used to show enthusiasm, nervousness and more.

• This is where the camera will move at the same pace as the subject so that the background is blurred and the subject is sharper. This is usually used when you are following somebody or an object.

• The tilt shot is moving the image vertically (up and down) and is usually used to reveal something.

• A zoom shot is when you are using the lens to move the camera either closer to or away from the subject rather than actually moving the camera at all.

• Diegetic sound is simply the sound in the film that the characters can hear, the most obvious form of diegetic sound is dialogue as two characters talking can obviously hear each other. You can also have explosions, baby's crying and dogs barking among many other sounds. The role of Diegetic sound is to create realism in the film, for example if you have two characters having a conversation with no background noise it wouldn’t seem right. They are also used to enhance the experience, so if there is to be an explosion in the film, its better that it is louder rather than quiet.

• Non-Diegetic sound on the other hand is not there for realism as no one walks around with a sound track. The role of Non-Diegetic sound is to direct and enhance the viewing experience, for example if there is someone dying in a film there is usually sad music played in the background so that the audience will feel upset.

• Mise-en-scene involves everything that is happening in the frame and these are things such as characters, costumes, props, setting, lighting,acting and special effects. This is basically showing everything that consists in a shot.

• In this scene it shows that the people in the background are a unit as they are all dressed the same, it also shows peacefulness within family and you can tell by the setting of the scene. Its calm yet there will still be a war as you can tell by the dark clouds.
