Chapter 4: Camera Work

2. An upward camera movement along an imaginary vertical axis
4. A shot of a person's face
6. A shot that orients the audience for the scene
7. A shot of the subject from the waist up, where the subject is of moderate size
8. An aerial or overhead shot executed by a camera operator on the platform of a moving crane
11. A shot of the subject's eyes
12. A lens that allows for a larger angle of view and can increase the illusion of depth within the shot
19. A shot where the subject appears relatively small against the background
22. The space in a scene that the audience cannot see but knows contains something of importance to the story
24. A lens with greater magnification power that can make objects seem closer to the camera and decrease the illusion of depth within the shot
25. A shot where the focus shifts among foreground, middle ground, and/or background planes
27. A shot that contains two figures. It can be long or medium
28. A shot made by placing the camera above the subject, angled downward. It is more flattering and humanizing. It can be dwarfing, provide a "bird's eye view," or place the camera like an audience in a balcony
29. A lateral camera movement along an imaginary horizontal axis

1. A shot where both the foreground and background planes are in sharp focus
3. A shot made by placing the camera below the subject, angled upward. It exaggerates size, implies authority, give a "larger than life" feel, and/or grants gravitas/menace
5. A shot that includes the entire person and background
7. A shot of the subject from the knees up
9. A shot made by placing the camera level with the subject. It implies a connection between the viewer and characters on the screen.
10. A shot where part of the image has been deliberately blurred while another is in sharp focus
13. A lens with variable focal length that can change the apparent distance between the camera and its subject
14. A shot of the face and chest of a subject
15. A single continuous shot of unusually long duration
16. A shot that simulates what a character sees
17. A technique that creates a washed-out image by bathing the film in excessive light
18. A shot made with a portable camera that may show signs of not being mounted
20. A technique that makes the action on screen move at unrealistic speeds by filming the action at slower or faster speeds while projecting at standard speed
21. A shot produced with a camera that moves smoothly alongside, behind, or ahead of the action
23. A stabilizing apparatus worn by a camera operator to deliver the steadiness of a dolly where a dolly isn't practical
26. A shot made by tilting the camera at an angle on the subject
