New Techniques

Film Techniques - camera shots;
Extreme long shot - it is usually an exterior shot of the location of the production.
Long shot - This shot enables the audience to see the character from head to toe. (this shot allows the character to sustain an relationship between the character and the environment)
Mid shot - Provides of view of the character from the waist up. By using the mid shot it is enabling the audience to feel more familiar with the character.
Two shot - Its a shot with two characters in the frame. It expresses the relationship of each other, often used in TV chat shows.
Close up - This shot would include the characters head and shoulders. With very little background in the frame. This can be used to frame an object to the audience.
Point of view - The close up shot works as a reference to the point of view shot. As the audience sees the audience view point. The purpose of the shot is to engage the auidence with the characters motive.
Extreme close up - Draws the audience into the characters emotions.

Film techniques - Camera angles
A picture can be taken from a birds eye angle, a high angle, an eye-level angle, a low angle. There can be different lighting angles; Frontally lit and back lit.

bird's eye angle is an angle that looks directly down upon a scene. This angle is often used as an establishing angle, along with an extreme long shot, to establish setting
high angle is a camera angle that looks down upon a subject. A character shot with a high angle will look vulnerable or small. These angles are often used to demonstrate to the audience a perspective of a particular character. The example above demonstrates to us the perspective or point of view of a vampire. As a viewer we can understand that the vampire feels powerful.
An eye-level angle puts the audience on an equal footing with the character/s. This is the most commonly used angle in most films as it allows the viewers to feel comfortable with the characters.
low angle is a camera angle that looks up at a character. This is the opposite of a high angle and makes a character look more powerful. This can make the audience feel vulnerable and small by looking up at the character. This can help the responded feel empathy if they are viewing the frame from another character's point of view.
Bridging shot- A shot used to cover a jump in time or place or other discontinuity. Examples are falling calendar pages, railroad wheels, newspaper headlines and seasonal changes.

Dollying shot- A shot in which the camera moves toward or away from its subject while filming. Traditionally dolly shots are filmed from a camera dolly but the same motion may also be performed with a Steadicam, gimbal, etc. A dolly shot is generally described in terms of "dolling in" or "dolling out". Trucking in and out is also a common synonym.

Editing - The selection and organization of shots into a series, usually in the interest of creating larger cinematic units. Adding music is also a great way to make it more cinematic.


Angles

Camera angles refer to the tilt of the camera in relation to the scene and the characters. Unusual camera angles can emphasis an action sequence, disorientate the audience, and suggest the relationship between characters.
