Etymologically breaks down to "writing by movement." Like photography, light translates into visual information and meaning; however, apparent motion differentiates photography from cinematography.
Elements of Cinematography
•Lighting
•Color (formally)/Contrast
•Film stocks & gauges
•Opticals (lenses, filters)
•Effects
•Shots*

Defining Shots by Size/Distance…
•Long shot•Full shot•Medium shot•Close-up
•NB: Use ‘extreme’ sparingly
Defining shots . . .
• By size/distance: a long shot often scans a wide area, providing information (literal and symbolic) including setting; it establishes parts of the narrative. (from the movie Signs)
Defining shots . . .
• By size/distance:. . :a full shot reveals a character from head-to-toe or a full object, often providing some contextual information (literal and symbolic) such as setting and action. (from The Matrix Reloaded)
Defining Shots …
. . . by size/distance: a medium shot reveals a character from waist up or most but not all of an object. Meaning (literal and symbolic) is created by being this close to the object or character--not full and not so close. (from the movie Signs)
Defining Shots …
• . . .by size/distance: a close-up reveals a character’s face or a detail of an object. Consider how these two close shots from XXX literally show us Diesel’s character and symbolically make us feel intimidated.

Defining Shots …
... By angle: High angle shot looks down on the subject, suggesting its literal shortness and symbolic weakness or inferiority. (from the movie Spy Kids II)
Defining Shots …
. . . By angle: eye-level shot looks a character ‘in the eye,’ suggesting respect and equality or simply neutrality.
Defining Shots …
. . . By angle: a low angle shot looks up to the subject, suggesting its literal height and symbolic power.

Defining Shots by Content …
• . . . a one-shot reveals one character
•. . . a two-shot reveals two characters(from the movie Frida)

Defining Shots by Movement…
•Moving camera shots include dolly, tracking, crane, aerial, pan, tilt, etc.
•Movement within the frame includes horizontal movement, through the depth of the frame, etc.
Shots are Defined According to …
•Size/Distance•Angle•Content•Movement•Point of view•Conventions
Defining Shots by Point-of-View…
As in literature, film observes three points of view:
•3rd person (She, he, or it does it…)•1st person (I do it…)•2nd person (You do it… or, Do it!)
Unlike literature, film has more gradual shifts in point of view.
Defining shots . . .
. . . By POV : 3rd person is the most common perspective in narrative film. The camera acts as an observer of some actor or action.(from the movie Collateral Damage)
Defining Shots …
• . . . by POV: shifts occur in film from 3rd to 1st and back again relatively frequently. A 1st person shift places the viewer of the film in the place of a character. This can be gradual or complete.
Defining Shots …
. . . By POV: 2nd person directly addresses the viewer of the film. This often enables some theoretical level in the film.

Defining Shots by Convention…
•Shot / counter-shot is one of the most significant and popular of the Hollywood tradition.
•Typically starts with full 2-shot;
•Cuts in to medium one-shot of ‘a’ character;
•Then, cuts to medium one-shot of ‘b’ character on opposite side.
Defining Shots by Convention…
•Shot/counter-shot (S/C or S/R)•Reaction shot•Establishing shot (inside/out editing)•Eye-line match (cut)•Devil’s in details
