QUIZ 2 Review- Electronic Field Production
You will be quized after we go over the rest of the groups tapes on Friday.
Please use the rest of the time to study chapter 6.1 & 6.2. Please also study the list of terms below.

1. Pan: A shot Taken moving on a horizontal plane (from left to right, right to left.) If you want to show a frisbee flying across a field, you might use this shot to follow the frisbee from one person to another.

2. Tilt: Camera movement in a veritcal plane (up or down.) If you want to show a tall building but you can't get it all in your shot, you might start at the bottom of the building and go up to the top.

3. Zoom IN: This shot brings you closer to the subject. For example, from a Wide Shot to a Medium Shot or Close Shot. If you are looking at the Golden Gate Bridge and you want to see individual people walking across it, you might zoom in.

4. Zoom OUT: This shot moves you farther away from the subject from example, from a Close Shot to Medium Shot or a Wide Shot. If you have a Close Up shot of a flower and want to see the entire field that the flower is in, you can reverse zoom.

5. Wide Shot: (Also known as Establishing Shot or Long Shot) This shows the whole scene. Frequently you'll see video pieces begin with a wide shot. It's helpful because it sets the stage - the view knows where he/she is. These shots are also good if there's a lot of movement. This might show a person from head to toe.

6. Medium Shot: This shot shows less of a scene than the waide shot. The camera seems closer to the subject (although it may not be if you are using a zoom lens.) For example, if you were interview someone, this shot would show them from about the waist up in a medium shot. Use this when you want a closer look at your subject, or when you need to transition between wide shots and close up shots (it is difficult for the viewer to follow what you are doing if you go straight from a wide shot to a close up shot.)

7. Close Up Shot: This shot shows an even smaller part of the subject or scene. Great for showing detail, like a person's emotional face or individula leaves on a tree. If you were interview someone, this show would show the person from the top of the chest or shoulders up. An Extreme Close Up Shot is even closer, for expamle it is just of the person's eyves, or of a bug gnawing on a leaf.

8. Over the Shoulder or Cutaway Shot: A Cutaway is usually a shot of the interviewer, who can be listening, nodding or responding to the guest. This is used a lot in interviews to show the person who's asking the questions. It's called "over the shoulder" because the photographer is litterally shooting video of the interviewer over the shoulder of the person being interviewed. These are useful when editing because it gives you an easy way to transition.

9. Two Shot/Three Shot: a two shot has two peoplr in the frame. A three shot has three people in the frame. Because you have to be some distance from the people to get them all in the fram, this is usually a medium or a wide shot.

1:15 p.m. - 1:25 p.m. Break

I will return on Friday. We will finish the rest watching the rest of the video projects and take a quiz.

See you Friday!
