When you're watching TV, film or video, you notice that some of the shots stand out more than others. The reason is it all depends on how the camera is positioned and the frame composition. In this article we will give you the basic knowledge about framing, camera angles and movements, which are the basis for creating a ‘sequence of images’. In order to describe them, you need a certain terminology.

 

In the categorization you can seriously delve into all sorts of variations, but in this article we will give you the most basic and commonly used terms in the industry.

 

Here are three most important factors when describing shots or creating them yourself:

• The framing or the length of the shot.
• The angle of the shot.
• If there is any movement involved.

Framing

We will start with the framing - the process of creating composition.

 

Extreme Long Shot

---

Establishing, where and when the shot is set. When there is very little detail visible in the shot, it's meant to give a general impression rather than specific information.

This is usually a wide shot that shows the setting and provides a environmental and sociological context for the action which is to follow.

 

Long Shot

---

This is the most difficult to precisely categorize, but it is generally one which shows the image as approximately "life" size, corresponding to the real distance between the audience and the screen in a cinema. From a distance it shows the whole body. The point of the focus is the subject but the environment is also visible. This shows action rather than emotion

 

Medium Shot

---

 

Person/object from the mid-chest to the top of the head. Normally it is used for dialogue scenes, or to show some detail of action. Variations of this include the Two/Three Shot – including two or three persons. If the figures are more than three, the shot tends to be a longer one. Other variation of this shot is Over the Shoulder (OTS) - This shot is framed from behind a person who is looking at the subject. The person facing the subject should usually occupy about 1/3 of the frame.

 

Point of View Shot (POV)

 

Free Download Example Video (the examples in this article are HD stock footage videos, which you can use in your projects - royalty free)

---

 

This shot shows a view from the subject's perspective. It gives you the illusion that you are  the character in the scene and not just looking at it from an exterior view. Horror films make great use of this kind of shot to build anxiety and tension and to create mystery. It can be used to shock or disorient the audience

 

Close up (CU)

 

Free Download Example Video (the examples in this article are HD stock footage videos, which you can use in your projects - royalty free)

---

 

Part of the body\ object with a little background, where most of it is more like a blur. Close-ups are obviously useful for showing detail and can also be used as a cut-in. A close-up of a person emphasizes their emotional state. The viewer is drawn into the subject's personal space and shares their feelings. A film-maker may use this to make us feel extra comfortable or extremely uncomfortable about a character and usually uses a zoom lens in order to get the required framing.

 

Extreme Close-Up (ECU)

 

Free Download Example Video (the examples in this article are HD stock footage videos, which you can use in your projects - royalty free)

---

 

Shows extreme detail. You would normally need a specific reason to get this close. It is too close to show general reactions or emotion except in very dramatic scenes. They are generally preceded and followed, by a wider shot. This cinematic technique is used very effectively to expose the viewer to something that is extremely familiar to them, but at the same time, representing it in a way that’s never been seen before, it is beyond what the human eye would experience in reality. The tight focus required means that extra care must be taken when setting up and lighting the shot - the slightest camera shake or error in focal length is very noticeable.

 

After the categorization of the Framing, let me mention some basic rules for its use (proper framing):

 

The Rule of Thirds

 

Free Download Example Video (the examples in this article are HD stock footage videos, which you can use in your projects - royalty free)

---

 

The first thing to learn is how to frame your subject.  If you’re a still photographer you’ll already know about the rule of thirds.  This works for filmmaking as well. This rule divides the frame into nine sections. Points (or lines) of interest should occur at 1/3 or 2/3 of the way up (or across) the frame, rather than in the center.

 

Common uses of this rule in video are:

 

• Framing an interview
  The eyes of your subject should fall in one of the upper powerpoints and the subject should be looking towards the empty space on the frame
  
• Shooting a horizon
  Rather than position the horizon on the center of the frame, align it along the upper or lower third depending on what you want to emphasize.  For example, if you’re shooting a cloud time-lapse you will want two-thirds of the shot centered on the sky.
  
  

Head Room, Looking room and Walking Room

These terms refer to the amount of room in the frame which is strategically left empty.

 

Head room is the space between the top of a subject's head and the top of the screen frame.

 

Free Download Example Video (the examples in this article are HD stock footage videos, which you can use in your projects - royalty free)

---

 

Looking room is the amount of space between the subject and the edge of the screen they are facing. You should have more room in front of the subject than behind.

 

Free Download Example Video (the examples in this article are HD stock footage videos, which you can use in your projects - royalty free)

---

 

Walking Room / Lead Space is similar to looking room, but it applies to moving objects. Moving objects need walking room or lead space to move into. You should give more space in front of the subject in the direction the subject is moving. As the subject moves, you should pan the camera to maintain a constant amount of walking room.

Get a good clear view

Visualise your shot before setting up, then choose your position relative to the background and where the action will take place. Everything in your frame is important, not just the subject. What does the background look like? What's the lighting like? Is there anything in the frame which is going to be distracting, or disrupt the continuity of the video? And do not forget the edges of your frame.

 

Once you find out the do’s and don'ts, you should consider what is your message, what you want to accomplish with this particular shot (for example, if you want to sell it as a stock footage or it will be part of a sequence, video, ad, movie and so on). Do not be afraid to experiment with different angles and positions of the camera. They can dramatically change your message and make your shot stand out in front of others. As with camera framing, there are standard descriptions for the basic camera angles and movements are. So in our next article we'll talk about that.

 

We hope we have been helpful. The part 2 is coming next week.

Drones - also known as quadcopters, multi-rotors and unnamed aircraft systems or UAVs have become the cheaper, faster, safer and more adaptable way to capture the perfect aerial shot. At the same time, drones are now intruding on some of the more traditional areas of filmmaking such as crane shots, dolly shots and steadicam.

 

So let's try to understand what drones can do for filmmakers by listing the advantages of them in the shooting of films, stock footage (shots) and then show you examples from our stock footage library :

 

1. Price- One of the most obvious advantages of drones is their low cost. Drone use in movies allows directors to shoot scenes that were impossible in the past, because they don’t need an entire film crew, and at a fraction of the cost of a helicopter. They now can also replace cranes, dolly shots and steadicam in many production settings and with the combined cost and additional crew to achieve, these camera and grip tools, you can see serious savings with a single drone unit. Of course, it has to be remembered that a drone can’t always replace the precision of a crane, dolly or steadicam, especially where sound is critical, but in many applications they can achieve similar results.

2. Faster- The application of a drone is generally far faster to get airborne and shooting then setting up for extreme bird's eye view - wide shots where the camera needs to be set in a precarious position where grips and camera crew need to move and set up. Drones are also generally faster to get up and running then cranes and dolly's and in many cases, steadicam.

3. Safer- For special effects and pyrotechnical sequences – Drones increase the safety of action films where explosives and pyrotechnical scenes are involved. Viewers expect more and more from their movie-going experience and directors need to deliver on their expectations. Dramatic explosion scenes can be captured in greater clarity than ever before while keeping their camera operators safe with remotely operated drones getting closer to the action and in positions that no manned camera could go.

---

 

 

4. Flexibility and adaptability- Using drones minimizes the logistical challenges in comparison to helicopters. Helicopters generally can’t fly at lower altitudes while drones can fly almost anywhere. They can travel hundreds of feet in the air and over large areas to offer a bird's-eye view of the landscape. Drones also allow the director to remain on the ground to see what the camera is capturing as it moves and they are able to travel into smaller spaces due to their small size. They can fit into a bag and they can be brought into difficult places to access, where other film tools would be impossible to get to.

5. Image quality – As drone quality continues to increase, you can count on their expanded use in the film industry to achieve quality results at a lower cost. Many drones have three-axis stabilization that accounts for wind or any sudden turns, so the captured shots turn out with higher quality comparable to previous traditional aerial filming methods.

6. Easy to use - Drone controls are becoming easy to use and are similar to those of remote control cars. Anyone with a background in video games could easily become a talented drone pilot in no time. On another front, one of the newest drone camera systems that is about to come on the market is the Lily Camera. This system allows single people to shoot themselves in water, skiing, snowboarding or on a moving vehicle as long as it doesn't exceed 40 kilometers an hour. The operator just wears a GPS tracking device that the Lily Camera drone follows at a predetermined position and altitude. If the system proves successful this will dramatically change the way documentary and explorer films will be shot.

Drone use in movies is an emerging technology. As experimental techniques become accepted practice, drones will continue to change the way movies are filmed.

It is important that you do not confuse camera angles and camera shots (see Part 1). The term camera angle means slightly different things to different people but it always refers to the way a shot is composed. Camera angles are used to position the viewer so that they can understand the connection between the characters. The relationship between the camera and the object being photographed (i.e. the ANGLE) gives emotional information to an audience, and guides their judgment about the character or object in shot.  As we know from watching movies, the angle at which a character is shot can dramatically affect how we perceive that character. The more extreme the angle (i.e. the further away it is from eye left), the more symbolic and heavily-loaded the shot. Film directors often choose to shoot characters using different angles in order to make an authorial comment on the role and importance of that person in the film. These are very important for shaping meaning in film as well as in other visual texts.

 

There are five basic angles used to shoot scenes in a film. The angles are determined by where the camera is placed:

 

• The Bird's-Eye View

Free Download Example Video (the examples in this article are HD stock footage videos, which you can use in your projects - royalty free)

---

 

The camera is placed above the subject, looking down toward the subject and the ground. This shows a scene from directly overhead, a very unnatural and strange angle. This kind of shot can seem disorienting because it is rarely the way audiences themselves see the world. Familiar objects viewed from this angle might seem totally unrecognizable at first. This shot does, however, places the viewer in the role of an all-seeing supreme being, looking down on the action from a superior position. Individual characters appear to be less significant and secondary in importance to a larger story. Directors often use the bird’s-eye view when they want to make some kind of dramatic comment on a character or scene. The bird's-eye view is also very useful in sports, documentaries, etc., as you can show an entire scope of action or landscape in a single view.

 

• High Angle

Free Download Example Video (the examples in this article are HD stock footage videos, which you can use in your projects - royalty free)

---

 

This angle is similar to the Bird’s-eye view but not so extreme. The camera is slanted in the action, hovering over the sides of the heads. The High Angle, looking downwards, tends to draw attention to the importance of the environment or setting for a scene. The object or character often gets swallowed up by their setting - they become part of a wider picture. This has the effect of diminishing the subject, making them appear less powerful, less significant or even submissive. These angles are often used to demonstrate to the audience a perspective of a particular character, it creates very unique and interesting emotional effects on your audience.

 

• Eye Level

Free Download Example Video (the examples in this article are HD stock footage videos, which you can use in your projects - royalty free)

---

 

The Eye-Level shot is the most common angle seen in movies, being the real-world angle that we are all used to. It shows subjects as we would expect to see them in real life. It is a fairly neutral shot  as far as impact and emotion. The camera is positioned as though it is a human actually observing a scene, the actors' heads are on a level with the focus. The camera will be placed approximately five to six feet from the ground.  These are not terribly dramatic shots but are used to photograph scenes that explain story development and they are also used to allow the viewers to feel comfortable with the characters, they appear to be more “honest", "straightforward” or "friendly". This camera angle is used a lot in the filming and videoing of interviews. Using this camera angle lets the audience get a good look at the subject's eyes and facial expressions without the added emotion or impact of a high or low-angle shot.

 

• Low Angle

Free Download Example Video (the examples in this article are HD stock footage videos, which you can use in your projects - royalty free)

---

 

The low-angle shot is below eye level looking upward at the subject. It has the opposite effect of a high angle shot. It tends to focus the attention on the size and the significance of a character or object. Often directors will use this kind of shot to symbolically announce the power and authority of one of their characters without literally telling the audience this information. This can make the audience feel vulnerable and small by looking up at the character. The added height of the object may make it inspire fear and insecurity in the viewer, who is psychologically dominated by the figure on the screen. This shot is used to good effect in mystery, sci-fi, horror and gangster movies. As we mentioned gangster movies, here is a very special use of the low-angle camera shot, it is a shot that's called the "trunk shot". The "Trunk Shot" is at an angle so that it appears that you're looking out of the trunk of a car (or from other low areas). Low angle shot is also frequently used in political ads. We literally look up at them, and this communicates a sense of "authority " and "credibility ". It's not used often (and probably shouldn't be) but, when used, it certainly gives a very unique view and, if used correctly, has a great impact on the audience.

 

• Oblique/Canted/Dutch Angle

Free Download Example Video (the examples in this article are HD stock footage videos, which you can use in your projects - royalty free)

---

 

 

The camera is purposely tilted to one side so the horizon is on an angle. This type of slanted shot can be very powerful visually and emotionally to your audience. When the audience is suddenly looking at the scene from a seemingly "strange " or "odd" angle it puts them on high alert as to "what is coming next" and they start to really pay attention, which is in great use in the horror movies. Besides to suggest imbalance, transition and instability, this technique is used to suggest POINT-OF-View shots, where the camera is placed in such a way as to represent or reproduce a character’s perspective on an environment or event. The camera effectively acts as the character’s eyes, and so point of view shots create empathy with this character - a hand held camera is often used for this.  The Oblique/Canted (Dutch) Angle can be used not only to set a  darker or dangerous moods, it is used  in some television shows and music video programs in a sense of playfulness. This unusual angle plays a big part of the overall action and visual look and feel of the videos.

 

We hope that with this text you understand that camera angles are very strong weapon in the cinematographer's arsenal. Whereas the Framing of the Shot (See Part 1) directs who and what we see, camera angles affect how we perceive it. Using different camera angles are a good way to break any monotony in a video or film. They give interesting looks and keep the audience involved with the action. The next time that you watch television ,see a film or shoot your own video (film), take note of the camera angles and think of how they affect your perception (idea) of different characters.

 

We hope we have been helpful. The part 3 is coming soon.

Cameras are moved for a number of reasons and in many complex combinations of ways. The camera movement can draw the viewers attention to or away from something, or switch from one subject to another that appears in the same frame Movements can alter the audience’s sense of time, speed and space, follow action or characters, reveal information that was previously off-screen, concentrate the audience’s attention  on specific details and emphasize a point of view shot. Composers of films also use camera movement to shape meaning. The following are some examples of common camera movements and how they can be used to shape meaning in films.

 

Movement of the Camera on a Tripod

These movements are the equivalent of moving your head up, down, to the left or

to the right. As a result, these are often used to contribute to creating a point of

view shot

 

• Pan

The pan turns the camera to the left or right (or vice versa), focusing attention on an object or subject being followed, scanning a scene/landscape. Note that the camera itself is not moving, just the direction it faces. It is often fixed on tripod, which provides a stable axis point, allowing the sweeping motion to be free. These types of shots are great for establishing a sense of location within your story. The pan is also commonly used to survey surroundings, revealing what is beyond the confines of the original frame and to place characters or objects more firmly within their environment

• Tilt

A tilt is a vertical camera movement in which the camera points up or down from a stationary location. Again, like panning, this move typically involves the use of a tripod. Tilting is less common than panning because that's the way humans work — we look left and right more often than we look up and down. These shots are popular when introducing a character, especially one of grandeur, in a movie. It is also used to create a sense of unease in the character, creating suspense or mystery. A tilt to the sky is traditionally a last shot in a movie. A variation of the tilt is the pedestal shot, in which the whole camera moves up or down.

---

 

• Zoom

The Zoom doesn’t really move the camera at all, it simply enlarges or reduces the

proportion of the frame taken up by a person or object. Without a doubt, zooming is the most used (and therefore, most overused) camera movement there is. In film studies and filmmaking courses zoom have been traditionally combined with real camera moves.  A quick zoom can add energy to a fast-paced piece. It can focus attention on a particular detail, but over-use of the zoom is often distracting. A good use of it might occur during a documentary interview, between actual shots, so that you have different frame sizes to cut to and create some visual variety.

Movement of the Camera, Camera Fittings and Operator

These movements are the equivalent of travelling through a set or location and

create a greater sense of action, affecting the pacing of a film and the audience’s

appreciation of time, speed and space

 

• Tracking/Dollying-

Both the camera and tripod are mounted on a moving vehicle or platform (complicated shots involve rails), allowing smooth movements following the action. The term tracking shot is widely considered to be synonymous with dolly shot. However there are a few variations of both definitions. Tracking is often more narrowly defined as movement parallel to the action, or at least at a constant distance (e.g. the camera which travels alongside the race track in track & field events).

 

Free Download Example Video (the examples in this article are HD stock footage videos, which you can use in your projects - royalty free)

---

 

Dollying is often defined as moving closer to or further away from the action. This type of shot is often a good way of the journey of a character, or for moving from a long shot to a close-up, gradually focusing the audience on a particular object or character. Other terms for the tracking shot include trucking shot and crabbing shot.

• Crane & Helicopter

In crane and helicopter shots the camera and mounting are free from the ground

and can be maneuvered quite precisely. this effect allows horizontal and vertical movement, it can survey wide areas and create an extreme sense of movement. the location can be seen from a high angle, which can then be swept down out of the action, also you can create establishing shots and tracking shots through this method. Crane shots have traditionally been used at the start of the films to move into the action, drawing the audience with it, and at the end of films to draw the audience out of intimate relationships with characters, returning them to their wider environment.

• Hand-held & Steadicam

Sometimes the action is moving too quickly or too unpredictably for the camera to be on a tripod. This calls for making the camera more mobile and able to follow the action of a scene. In order to do that the camera is carried by the operator, often creating an uneven movement. These shots allows the operator to follow action very closely, creating a greater sense of immediacy for the audience, and may mimic the movement of a character in point of view shots. A common visual metaphor in movies is also created by handheld cameras, creating a shaking, trembling effect in horror films. Hand held cameras signify a kind of gritty realism, and they can draw the audience in, with the impression they are in the scene themselves, rather than viewing it in a still, set position.

Steadicam (a heavy contraption which is attached a camera to an operator by a harness, the camera is stabilized so it moves independently) brings smoothness to hand held camera movement and removes the jerkiness of handheld shots as the operator moves across the ground. Like handheld shots, the Steadicam allows characters to be followed through complex surroundings, but it creates a floating sensation, often providing an eerie or dreamlike effect. In modern filming, no "walk and talk" sequence would be complete without its use.

• Lock

The simplest type of camera move is no move or the locked off shot .Refers to a camera shot in which the camera remains immobile, while something happens off-screen (e.g., an off-screen death) - a technique to create suspense. It gives you an extra degree of impact as the action unfolds in front of a stationary camera perspective.

Explosions are the bread and butter in the movie industry. As we all know, they are a great way of adding impact and excitement to even the most hackneyed script. Some on-screen explosions are beautiful. Some are devastating. All are destructive. The work behind making a memorable movie blast is incredibly complicated, and what was once the domain of only practical special effects is now something that can also be augmented, or even achieved, with digital visual effects. Whatever the means, blowing buildings, vehicles, and entire cities to smithereens is an art.

or navigation, space colonization, planetary exploration, and transportation of humans and cargo. Sometimes, these ships are more than just a way to get from point A to point B through the space. They can be so expansive and detailed that most of the movie takes place on board these city-sized crafts.

Since science fiction left the pages of novels and comics, we have been treated to a huge variety in crafts. They range from the functional to the spectacular, from the realistic to the unbelievable. One thing they all have in common though is their ability to capture our imagination.

 

UFOMEDIA is a division in a international production company where we have  spent the last 5 years building an online stock footage platform to monetize our digital assets (in our case "B" role footage from movies, Commercials and Music Videos).

We are now offering you an inexpensive and time-saving way to create your own stock footage site at the fraction of the cost, building a platform for digital assets which will allow you to monetize the footage that you control.

 

How It works:

First-  We will make an assessment of your footage and get you an idea on the viability of the footage you have or in some cases the footage you will be shooting.

Second- We make an estimate of the number of shots that will be created from the digital assets you have and what it will cost to create the individual shots and proper marketing of them. We will also create for you all the identification, the cataloging, the meta-data that goes with each file.

Third- We will make an estimate of what we feel is the best program for your footage and what works within your budget.  So remember our goal is to turn your digital assets into a revenue stream so you can make money from something that is now just sitting there.

 

 

UFOMEDIA will allow you to monetize these digital assets without having to invest thousands of hours of work to edit, construct the meta data and create the shots along with prohibitive cost of over $50,000.00+ to program and build a site of this magnitude.

What UFOSHOT is doing is taking its 7 years of investment in the creation and development of our own sites- rebuilding and packaging it to you as a stand-alone site that will allow you to have your own online stock footage and media company without any of the prohibitive costs.

At the same time we will use the economies of scale from our own sites to provide yours and your customers the support as if your site is backed by a state of the art international support structure and a worldwide network of servers.

 

Questions and Answers:

So NOW, let's address some very important questions you may have:

• Aren't there already hundreds of huge stock footage companies out there, much better funded and many willing to also represent my footage as well?

YES, but here is the rub. The growing size of these companies make them very cumbersome to use. Along with this, your material will be buried among hundreds of thousand other shots on these massive sites. Many times clients just don't have the time to search these sites and are looking for boutique sites that focus on their area of interest.  This translates to a business opportunity for you to address these needs with dramatically reduced costs to enter this business.

AND the answer to the second part of the question is also YES. Almost all of the major stock footage sites are looking for submissions from outside sources, but here is the problem. In general, less than 10% of the stock footage submitted to these sites is ever accepted for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with the marketability of the shots themselves. Thus, in the end  people who are submitting their footage to these sites spending hundreds of hours uploading and creating the meta data to have 90% of their work rejected and in many cases seeing little or no revenue from these shots even if they are accepted.

What Does it Cost?:

So how much is it going to cost to set up my own site where I will be able to sell footage and other imagery and be able to be paid directly through my own PayPal account or a direct deposit account into my bank?

• In most cases a fully independent site will cost about $6000.00* to create with at least a 1000 shots available for sale to launch your new online company. At the same time an less expensive site can be created at around $3000.00* if constructed as a sub-site under our own master site- UFOSHOTS.com.
• So what this means is that at a $60 price point per shot, you will recoup your start up cost with the sale of only 100 shots or as few as 50 if we created a sub site for you.

 

*This is merely an average cost. Final budgets may vary depending on the site and the actual material used and meta data needed to be created.

 

How We Do it:

SO how can we  offer to build you a fully functioning revenue site that in many cases would cost in excess of a $50,000.00 to build with maintenance fees that would make it cost prohibitive for a small company or individual to create and run?

• Located in Sofia Bulgaria UFOMEDIA takes advantage of some of the world's lowest programming and labor costs as well as some of the best programmers in the business. This is augmented by the history of Bulgaria once being the Silicon Valley of the USSR. Today it has evolved one of the most robust tech capitals in the world.
