Research on camera shots

-Long shot (LS): shows the whole character in the frame and may also act as an establishing shot. 

-Medium shot (MS): shows the subject from the waist up. 

-Closeup shot (CU): shows the subjects heas and shoulders. 

-Aerial shot: sometimes called 'birds eye view', this is an extreme high-angle shot, generally exterior, that might be filmed from a crane, building or aircraft. 

-Canted angle: a shot in which the camera is deliberatley placed on a slant. 

-Crane shot: a shot created using a large camera mounting, capable of achieving high elevations and movement. 

-Handheld shot: a shot filmed using a camera manipulated by an operator without a tripod or other mounting. This is often used to convey the impression that the action taking place is 'documentary' in nature. -

-Low/high angle shots: any shot type taken from a clearly lower or higher angle than the subject. -

-Pan: a panoramic shot in which the camera moves with a horizontal motion, but from a fixed position. 

-Point of view shot(POV): a shot is intended to show the action from the perspective of a particular character. 

-Subjective shot: intended to match exactly what a character is actually seeing. Sometimes used with a 'Bonocular' mask. 

-Dolly/ tracking shot: a shot in which the camera moves to follow a sequence of action, placed usually on a dolly or specially prepared tracks. 

-Whip-pan: a very fast pan often used to give off the impression that the camera is just catching up with the action. 

-Zoom: a zoom shot is one in which a change in focal length occurs. Most domestic video cameras have zoom lenses whereas fixed lenses are more common in film production. The zoom shot is thus often associated with amateur video making where it is lazily used as an alternative to a cut.

When it came to planning the shot list, it was important that I had a variety of knowledge about every shot that can be used. This gives us a wider span of imagination when planning how things are going to be filmed, and the angles that are going to be used.
By doing my research, I felt like it just refreshed my memory a lot and also gave me some new current ideas. For example the pan shot really came into mind when it came to the beginning of the video. We filmed it on a skateboard on the floor, to get the perfect pan shot of the actress.
We also used a whip pan, which was edited to fasten the pace of the speed. We used this shot when the actress was on the roundabout in the park. The sky behind was the main thing we wanted to look effected in this shot, because it looked like the sky was spinning so fast that the rest of the world had to catch up with it.
