Here are photographs of different camera shooting techniques:
Camera Techniques:
Canted: Slightly tilted.
Wide Shot: Usually horizontal and has a lot of the background the picture.
Extreme Close Shot: The picture is really zoomed up to the point where its not going to be visible if you continue to zooming in, Its not used very much.
Close shot: A little bit further away than an extreme long shot but is a lot more productive and visible.
Mid long shot: Should be about knee to head height for a person.
Mid shot: Should be roughly hip height on a person.
Mid close shot: Should be roughly a persons chest height.
Long shot: Should be the whole body of a person but a little bit of background.
Extreme long shot: Should make the person really far away but just about noticeable in the picture.
High angle shot: Should be looking down on a person/object.
Low angle shot: Should be looking up to a person/object.
What I have learnt is different camera techniques can communicate different meanings. For example a low angle shot on something can make it look really powerful because it is looking up to the person/object, but a high angle shot can make someone look weak, scared and vulnerable. Because it is looking down on the person/object. Also camera framing can communicate an image too. For example a Long shots can show the subject from a distance, emphasizing the place and location. Whilst Close shots reveal details of the subject and highlight emotions of a character.
