LO1 Task 5 Technical

Shot sizes: how to construct a sequence to create realism



A sequence which includes an establishing shot, two mid shots (over the shoulder), close ups and a cutaway (showing the glass on the table) - the next shot could be of one of the characters picking up the glass and drinking - this would be match on action.

Continuity editing - match on action - this is where the clips are edited together without the flow of action being interrupted.


Long shot/ Establishing shot - this shows where the scene is located and will show the feet and head of the characters. It is normally at the start of the scene.





Mid shot - this will show the upper body of the characters or a cropped view of the location




Closeup - this will show the head and shoulders of a character - the closer we get, the more intimate the audience become. This can be used to show the emotions of a character or draw the audience into the narrative





If we went closer it would be an extreme close up which would show just the eyes or the face


Angles
Low angle - shows dominance


High angle- looking down at the character - he looks small and vulnerable
