The framing in this sequence is of a small but effective variety. The Frames used in this are a Long Shot (LS) a Medium Shot (MS) Close Ups (CL) and Over The Shoulder Shots (OTS). And then at the end there is a Low angle shot which follows the girl as she exits the park. These shots are essential for filming a conversation as they follow each person speaking and they show who is leading the conversation and who is speaking. They follow the conversation so that you get to see each persons reaction when they are spoken too.
The sheet below is a sheet that shows most of the camera frames. Later on on my blog i will post videos that show examples of all of these shots.
Close up shots are to give detail to the persons face and concentrates on there face specifically. A close up shot does not give any detail of the surroundings so it makes the audience purely concentrate on there face. There are different types of close ups extreme close up, close up,medium close.
Medium and long shots show the main person in the piece of film in the middle of the screen, the reason of a MS is to show that the character is specifically important and the middle of the screen is directly were the audience looks automatically. There are different types of MS such as normal MS, MLS, LS and VLS.
There are other shots such as two shot which shows two people next to each other in one shot, this could been shown to show the relationship between the two characters. Another shot is over the shoulder shot and this is done by the camera filming over somebodys shoulder, this shows the view from that person.
Low angle shots and high angle shots are other types of shots. The low angle shot is done by being filmed underneath somebody, this is done to show that the person has a lot of power, however a high angle shot is shot above a person to give the impression that they are small and have less power.
