CINEMATOGRAPHY – The way in which a camera is used to create meaning in a film

CLOSE-UP SHOT – When we are close-up to a subject; the head and shoulders of a person are in frame to show that their facial expressions are important

LONG SHOT – When the camera is a distance away from the subject so all of it is visible and may more of the setting and other people

LOW ANGLE – If the camera is placed below a subject looking up, it looks larger and more powerful

HIGH ANGLE – When a camera looks down on a person or object, it can look vulnerable



MISE-EN-SCENE – This includes the following elements
-        Objects/Props
-        Setting/Location
-        Characters position within the frame
-        Facial expressions and body language
-        Costume, hair and make-up

LOGLINE – A description of the film in a short sentence that is usually included in the pitch for a film


PAN - A movement which scans a scene horizontally (left to right/ right to left). The camera is placed on a tripod, which operates as a stationary axis point as the camera is turned, often to follow a moving object which is kept in the middle of the frame.
