Cinematography
Cinematography is the act of making a film. Including choices with lighting, camera movement, framing, film speed.
Shot Size is how much of the person/object you can see in a particular shot.
Close up - Can see main part of face: Eyes, nose and mouth
Medium shot - Can see head and shoulders, also some of background is in shot
Long shot - Can see full length of body and whats going on in the background
Camera Angle
For a low angle shot the camera would be placed below or furtherdown than the person/object and id would be looking up at the person/object
Low angle shot
For a high angle shot the camera would be place above or higher than the person/object and would be looking down at the person/object.
High angle shot
Movement
Composition
Here the window is used as a frame. We are looking at what we can see outside the window. This might suggest the idea of being trapped inside - not being able to get out.
The bath is used as the frame. We are concentrating on what is happening in the bath. He is going to kill himself - the bath is a similar shape to a coffin.
The frame is the window they are sat in. In this scene Juno is complaining about how everyone is staring at her because shes pregnant. This is ironic as she is sat in a window - she is on show.
Rule of thirds is divideing the image into 9 squares - 3 across and 3 down. The rule of thirds is a much preferred method of composing shots. This is because it makes the shot stand out and makes the reader think about where they have to look rather than the image being in the middle as it usually is.
Positioning
This is an example of subjective positioning from the film 'Let the right one in'. We are looking at Eli from Oskars point of view. We are seeing her as he sees her.

Movement
- With the pedding movement the camera moves up and down the object whereas with panning the camera moves around the object
- With the tracking movement the camera moves closer or further away from the object whereas crabbing moves from right to left.

Positioning
- Subjective positioning is where we see the shot happening from someone elses point of view. We are looking through someone elses eyes
- Objective positioning is where the viewer can see everything that is happening in the scene, even prehaps things the characters might not beable to see
This is an example of subjective positioning from the film 'Let the right one in'. We are looking at Eli from Oskars point of view. We are seeing her as he sees her.
