Lecture 2 - Introduction to Module
For our first lecture Mr Martin explained the module and the final project which is to produce a PSA video. He then explained different types of shots.
- Medium Shot (MU) - General, most common shot.
- Close Up Shot (CU) - Isolate the most important part of the subject, emphasizes on facial expression.
- Medium Close Up (MCU) - Midway between waist and shoulder to above head.
- Over The Shoulder - Shows the subject from behind the shoulder of another person.
- Extreme Close Up (ECU) - Increase the drama or impact on a situation in order to show the viewer more details
When shooting from left to right, maintain it in the following shots. Changing it from right to left in the next shot can confuse the viewer. Don't change to right to left UNLESS the subject changes direction as well.
