Identifying Traits Thriller Camera Shots


Camera shots:

Extreme close up shots - The extreme close-up shot is used in film to allow the viewer to enter the character’s intimate space, revealing certain characteristics and emotions that would otherwise go unnoticed. This close up view intensifies feelings that the character is experiencing and allows us to feel sympathy for, and establish a connection with the character.

Establishing wide shots: The extreme wide shot is the view which is so far from the subject that isn't even visible. The point of this shot is to show the subject's surroundings. The extreme wide shot is often used as an establishing shot and is the first shot of a new scene, designed to show the audience where the action is taking place.

Medium/Mid shots: The mid shot shows some part of the subject in more detail, whilst still showing enough for the audience to feel as if they were looking at the whole subject. It is a shot to show you what you would see a person as if you were having a casual conversation.

Long shots: A long shot shows a scene from a distance. A long shot is also used to emphasis the environment or setting of a scene.

Close up: In the close up shot, a certain feature or part of the subject takes up most of the frame. A close up of a person usually means a close up of their face. Close-ups are useful for showing detail and can also be used as a cut-in.
