Micro Features

Cinematography is a micro feature, it combines two greek words. One is kinema and the other is graphien.

From these two words we can understand that cinematography is the study of recording.

Cinematography comes in the form of different shot types.
these are;

Long shot:
A long shot is used to show the entirety of the person, usually involving more than one in a way that usually displays an emotion.

medium shot:
A medium shot is used when focusing in on one person usually in a specific act or while they're moving around.

close up:
A close up is used when specifically focusing on a person, this usually only shows half of their body as an emphasis, or a certain action.

extreme close up:
An extreme close up is used when a dramatic moment has to be shot onto one person, usually an eye or a wound to show the full extent of it.
crane shot
A crane shot is usually a very long shot from above, making a person look small from a birds eyed view.
low angle
A low angle is a shot from below a person, this makes them look much bigger and threatening than they actually are.
high angle
high angles are used in contrast to low angles, these make people look smaller and weaker than they actually are.
pan shot
A pan shot follows a person, or vehicle, as it moves. keeping a steady pace that keeps the object of interest as the centre of view.
