Types of Shots in Film

When analyzing film, it is important for students to have a good handle on the language of film.  So, we spend a good amount of time reviewing types of shots--through film, film clips, and still photos.  In today's exercise, students ventured out into the high school, armed with their iPhones or device of choice to take photos of the following types of shots:

Oblique angle 

extreme long shot                   

extreme close-up                    

medium shot  

high angle       

establishing shot                                

bird’s eye view                                  

low angle      

close-up                                 

juxtaposition   

For example, in each class, I took one type of shot--seen here:

Answer: OBLIQUE ANGLE!  (affectionately called the Danny Boyle angle by Jack M)

Did you get it correct?  Hopefully, you did, and hopefully the Schmitt's Scholars took some creative photos to address the different types of shots.  Looking forward to sharing those soon!
