Shot Types
This shot shows the character's face to emphasize the emotion.
What is a close-up?
This angle looks down on a subject, often making them appear weak or vulnerable.
What is a high angle?
This movement rotates the camera left or right from a fixed position.
What is a pan?
This composition technique divides the frame into nine equal sections using two horizontal and two vertical lines.
What is the rule of thirds?
Red, orange, and yellow are examples of this type of color temperature.
What are the warm colors?
This shot shows the character from the waist up and is commonly used during conversations.
What is a medium shot?
This angle looks up at a subject, making them appear powerful or dominant.
What is a low angle?
This movement moves the camera up or down from a fixed position.
What is a tilt?
This composition balances both sides of the frame evenly, arranging the elements equally around the central axis.
What is a symmetrical balance?
Blue, purple, and green are examples of this type of color temperature.
What are the cool colors?
This shot shows the entire character and much of the surrounding environment.
What is a long shot (wide shot)?
This angle places the camera at the level that creates a neutral perspective.
What is an eye-level angle?
This movement moves the camera physically forward or backward.
What is a dolly (or tracking)?
This composition intentionally places elements unevenly to create visual interest.
What is asymmetrical balance?
These colors sit next to each other on the color wheel and create harmony.
What are analogous colors?
This shot focuses on a specific detail such as eyes, hands, or an object.
What is an extreme close-up?
This angle creates tension or confusion.
What is a Dutch angle (tilted angle)?
Moving a camera in a circular path around a subject.
What is an arc shot?
This composition arranges the elements symmetrically around a central point, radiating outward like spokes on a wheel or flower petals.
What is a radial balance?
This color scheme uses different shades and tones of a single color.
What is a monochromatic color scheme?
This shot frames a subject as a tiny element within a vast, dominating environment.
What is an extreme wide shot (long shot)?
This angle shows the scene from directly above the subject?
What is an overhead angle (bird's-eye view)?
This movement is done by adjusting the lens instead of physically moving the camera forward and backward.
What is zoom?
These are the four intersections on the Rule of Thirds grid.
What are the power points?
This is named the HSB color system.
What is a short for hue, saturation, and brightness?
