Demonstrating Shot Types

Close Up

• In this clip, we see a close up


denoting the mums reaction,
for example in “This is England
‘86”, there is a close up of the
mums face, which denotes
tension and strong body
language.
Long Shot
• In “This is England” we
see a long shot to denote
the action of the shot
and mise-en-scene , for
example, when the two
boys are running for the
bus. Filming this shot as a
long shot denotes that
the boys are running
because they're late, also
connoting their economic
grading from the mise-
en-scene
Two Shot
• In this clip we see a
two shot, evidently
seen in “This is
England” when the
mum and son are
talking. This denotes
that there is a
conversation, also
connoting a
relationship between
the characters.
Over the shoulder shot
• We see an over the shoulder shot to
show conversation, for example in
“Freak”, when the boy’s talking and
the girls listening. This denotes
conversation, who's talking and
listening and connotes a relationship
Establishing Shot
• An establishing shot
denotes the setting, for
example, “This is
England”, begins with an
establishing shot of the
cafe, denoting to the
audience that the scene
will be shot in a cafe
Match on action
• Match on action is used in the
shot, for example , “Freak“
shows the boy putting on his
shirt and then we see this at a
different angle, denoting
continuity.
180 degree rule
• The 180 degree rule, is vital
in filming; to always remain
on 1 side of the action, for
example, we see this in “This
is England”, in the shot of 180 degree line

mum and son talking, shown


only on 1 side of the room.
This shows continuity in
editing.
Rule of thirds
• Rule of thirds is also a key rule
when filming, for example we
see this in the “Freak” when
two characters are talking in
an over the shoulder shot.
The eyes are always the same
height on the top line. This
denotes that both characters
are talking directly to each
other, and connotes a real
conversational atmosphere in
the audience.
Shot- Reverse- Shot
• A shot reverse shot shows a
response from the action,
for example we see a shot of
the girl talking, and then the
boys reaction and back to
the girl talking. This shot
type is a connotation for a
A B A
relationship between the
characters, and a
connotation of the action.
An angle shot
• An angle shot, either high
or low angle, is used to
connote the characters
stature. We can see this in
“Freak” when two boys are
fighting, shown from a low
angle. This shot angle
connotes that both boys
are vulnerable
