EVERYTHING ABOUT A CAMERA IN MEDIA

-What is a camera? A camera is an equipment gadget that takes photos and comprises of a lightproof box with photosensitive film or plate within the box. When a picture is taken, the camera's shade opens and closes, uncovering the photosensitive film with light recording the picture onto the film.

CAMERA SHOT SIZE:

Shot size is, how much of the setting or subject is displayed within a given frame of a video, photo, or animation, hence the scope or size of the shot. Different types of camera shots in film or video communicate different narrative value and are combined during post-production to tell a story.

1-Establishing Shot: is a shot at the head of a scene that clearly shows us the location of the action.

2-Extreme Wide Shot (EWS): is a camera shot that will make your subject appear small against their location.

3-Wide Shot (WS) / (LS): is a camera shot that balances both the subject and the surrounding imagery.

4-Full Shot (FS): is a camera shot in film that lets your subject fill the frame, head to toe.

5-Medium Wide Shot (MWS) / (MLS): frames the subject from roughly the knees up.

6-Cowboy Shot: frames the subject from roughly mid-thighs up.

7-Medium Shot (MS): is one of the most common camera shots. It's similar to the cowboy shot above, but frames from roughly the waist up and through the torso.

8-Medium Close Up (MCU):  frames your subject from roughly the chest up.

9-Close Up (CU): when you want to reveal a subject’s emotions and reactions.

10-Extreme Close Up (ECU): type of camera shot size in film that fills the frame with your subject and is so close that we can pick up tiny details that would otherwise be difficult to see.

5. Whip pan: A whip pan (also called a “swish pan”) is a quicker type of pan shot in which the camera pans so fast that it creates a motion blur effect.

6. Tilt shot: A camera tilt is a vertical movement in which the camera base remains in a fixed location while the camera pivots vertically.

7. Crane shot: A crane shot is any shot from a camera mounted on a robotic crane.

8. Aerial shot: An aerial shot is a shot from extremely high in the air, giving the viewer a bird's eye view of the action in the scene.
