Camera Angles
In this video we learn that a camera is a ‘tool box full of tricks and techniques to help make meaning. Wide shots provide context, shows physical and emotional state between conflicting characters. Full shots show the subject in their entirety. Medium full shots single out a subject, whilst still showing environment. Where a cowboy shot is a heroic take on the mid full shot. Medium shots frame the shoulders and head of your subject. Close up shots frames subjects head, and extreme close ups single out a specific detail of the subject
Media language means we can see how companies, creators and industries code messages. Encoding is communicating ideas through signs, symbols and techniques. Technical codes are camera angles, camera movements, camera shots and audio visual texts. Some camera shots are close ups which provide tension and can be extreme. Long shots that give the characters context. Medium close ups shows relation and establishing shots advance the narrative. Camera angles we learn about are high shots that make a character vulnerable, low shots which shows dominance and birds eye view for high action scenes.
