The Cinematography
Cinematography is the art of photography and camerawork in film-making
.
My examples of cinematography:
Extreme Close Up- This is a very close shot showing the detail of an object or the physical features of a person. for example, in this picture it of an eye. It is used to make the viewer aware of some specific detail. alsocan be used to heighten tension.
Big Close Up- This is full head height and the head takes up the entire screen. It contains little or no background. This shows the detail of the character’s face.
Close Up- This is a face shot taken from the mid-forehead to above the chin.This shows the close detail of the character's eyes and mouth. It can be used to heighten tension.
Medium Close Up-This shows the upper half of the body. The shot is taken from the above the head to lower chest.Good for conversation between two characters
Medium Long Shot-This shows the whole person as well as some of the background.Places the person in context
Mid Shot-This shows half of the body. The shot is taken from above the head to just below the waist.This allows you to get to know the character more closely by viewing their facial expressions and body language.
Long Shot-This shows the whole person and other characters, but the background dominates the shot.This allows the viewer to understand the relationship between the characters and their environment.
Extreme Long Shot-This shows the landscape of the film or a barely visible character in the distance of a background.This gives information to the viewer about where the action is to take place. It often sets the atmosphere of a film.
