Complete the definitions below, giving an example of a SCP for each. 

You must provide a detailed explanation for each term, following class discussions and independent research. This will be vital for the assignment.

Importance of camera angles for the director:
Having a creative decision for creating an effect for the audience.
Indicates the importance of things by using shots, varied angles could even dictate the scene such as a dialogue scene between two people.
Change of shot helps the audience to divert their attention to the key parts of the scene making them wonder what may be happening.
Extreme long shots are used often times than not in order to display an entire scene.
Framing involves two elements:
The shot size: How far away a person or object is from the camera
Camera Angle: Where in relation the camera is to the person or object that the director wants us to focus on.

1. The effect that this shot has on the audience is that a landscape is being displayed by the director showcasing the place in where the story is set help setting the scene.







2. This shot here is to dramatises this scene by showing an entire army or cult showcasing power in the movie scene, giving off the vibe to the audience that there's more to this than just a setting but much more.




3. This is a medium long shot that gets the director to showcase two characters or more as there's an exchange between the two by showing both of their bodies off in the shot showing the setting as well as the events giving us a good understanding of where and what the scene is.




4. Often used on characters the medium shot is the shot that shows the top half of an object or character's body showing importance to that one character. The director wants the audience to focus on this specific character by creating this shot to emphasise how important this character is.

5. Here the director uses a medium close-up shot to dictate scenes such as conversations, and angles used in this shot often dictates who's leading the conversation in this scene.





   6. Close-ups  are often used to show a character or object's faces to show importance or even to show some expressions of an important character normally used in fight scenes to capture emotion and tension.




  7. Big Close up again to show a key moment in a movie scene that allows for emotion.
















9. Over the shoulder shot shows two characters mainly an interaction of sorts between two important characters where both people are displayed of importance.

 10. A low angle shot often shows weakness from someone that is looking up towards someone else it's a displayed respect.





11. Looking at a high angle often indicates that there is a more superior character in stature or that something is happening above, this angle makes the audience interpret weakness from the characters in a scene, often making them feel small.








Coverage shots mainly consists of all other shots that include close ups medium shots, POV shots,       Reverse shots and more.












FOUR BASIC CATEGORIES FOR CAMERA MOVEMENT:
The pan and tilt
Dolly or Tracking
The Boom or Crane
Steadicam


FUNCTIONS:
To reveal dramatic information by enlarging the viewer's field of view
As well as able to narrow and focus on attention on significant characters or objects
Expresses a dynamic sense of movement that makes a sept pr scene more sensuous and dramatically exciting for the audience.
It also helps visualise thematic ideas to the audience.


PAN:
Simply used in a pivot movement left and right, it's also used to help the frame accommodate character movements. PAN shots needs to be brief otherwise if too long it can become mores disengaging. A variation of a PAN shot is an "ARC" shot where the camera pivots around a 360 degree turn. The dramatic effect of an Arc shot will help draw attention to the character, giving us an indication of what's going on. Depending on how slow camera movement is it could also be used as a confusion shot helping exaggerate confusion from the character.

TILT:
This is the method that has the camera move up and down and vice versa it's a shot that's used to help create attention to new areas of a scene giving a better perspective of things.

DOLLY OR TRACKING:
The camera is on a tripod and base physically travels through space, allowing for motion perspectives such as maybe a chase scene or a conversation scene between two or more characters.

BOOM/CRANE:
Trying to cover a shot overall from a birds eye view. By mounting the camera on a boom ore a crane it creates a powerful, dramatic effect by revealing the scale of the scene's action that any other camera movements can't achieve a backup option would hence be a drone, as it can also achieve the same goals.

STEADY CAM:
Attached mainly to a person often used in a documentary being a mechanical steady and jitter free solution to help keep the action in the frame, allowing for anything smooth and less movement issues.


LENS MOVEMENT:
Is the movement also considered as camera movement.


FRAMING STYLES:
TIGHT FRAMING: A lack of space around the subject and gives a sense of constriction. Often a close-up.

LOOSE FRAMING: Refers to a shot that has a great deal of open space around the subject and also gives us a sense of isolation or freedom. All to do with mis-en-scene, isolation can often be seen from one characters perspective and freedom from more than one.

DEEP FOCUS FRAMING:
Objects or characters remain in frame overall in a sharp focus that positions them near and far from positions near and far from the camera. It still has a moderate close up of a character that displays focus, on the characters facials and more.

LIGHTING CONTINUITY:
Is about the creative choice to maintain or willingly not maintain lighting consistency throughout a sequence of shots. The reason behind deliberately ignoring the continuity is to achieve better lighting-simple as that.
