Much much more camera angles

Alright everyone i know that i already talked about camera angles but it is just that important to know all that you can about camera angles. It can easily determin to your audience if your movie is going to be crappy or good just from the first camera angle that you produce, they may not know that they think its crappy, but there is always that little thing nagging at the back of there neck that they just cant put their finger on, something about it was just unappealing(its called the camera angles were done porly you moron.) Sorry for the rude awakeing but it is true, crappy camera angles, crappy movie.
There are many different camera angles in many different movies, some have them more than others, while others dont have many at all, like i have said in the past, its all about the feel that you are going for. So the first thing that i am going to talk about are the different camera shots that you can have
CU= Close Up                                                                                            Close Up

XCU=Extreme Close Up

MS= Medium Shot

WS=Wide Shot

ES=Establishing Shot

Lets start with a close up. Your close up shot will always most likely be directed at one person on the camera, because anymore than that, it might confuse the audience on who the director wants to concentrate on, plus not to many people can fit in a close up shot and have it still look good. Anyways, a close up is a shot that is anywhere from just right under the shoulders and up, this lets the audience know that that person on screen is the most important at that moment, and that you need to listen to what he is saying to you or you may miss out some real jiucy information.
                         Extreme Close Up

Now for the Extreme Close Up. Be careful with this one folks because if you have one of these bad boys in your scene you had better have a good reason or it could make a real big mess of your shot. the Extreme Close Up is obviously  a close up a your characters face, the reason i chose this perticular photo is because it is the one that i have seen most. You would typically find it in a regular movie though, mostly in westerns or horrors, those guys just love to get the audience involved with all of the drama that the character is feeling.

                                                                                                                           Medium Shot

Now for the Medium Shot. The medium shot will typically show the character from the thighs up, you dont want to ever show the character from the knees up or just under the knees, that is a big mistake, it creates whats called a tangent on the screen, its when the eye wants to know to much about what going on, like with the knee, the eye wants to go down the leg, but cant have there eyes do that because the camera stops right at the knees. ( I dont know about anyone else but for some reason this photo sure doesnt look like Harrison Ford, well it does but doesnt at the same time, his eyes just kind of look a little funny to me.

                 Wide/Establinshing Shot.                                                                                                 .

Alright this shot it to show the tipe of envirnment that your character will be in, in this case Robert is in a bedroom laying on a bed naked. The naked part doesnt really matter, but the wide shot does. It tells your what is going to be expected for the next few minutes in your scene. What may happen while in the bedroom, you always want to audience to know somewhat what is going to happen next but still throw them off guard, you want them to guess the future and then be right about it.

Remember to choose your shots wisely, it could be the downfall or uplifting of your movie.
