Examples of shot types

Before I start storyboarding, I felt that I had to explore different shot types so that I know what to try and use in each scene when planning the cinematography. The first of my storyboards will be uploaded soon.

The use of various shots can really help to create continuity, whilst also creating representation with certain characters. Most importantly, the job of choosing shot types is just one of the many aspects of telling a story a story that I love doing as a filmmaker. The cinematography, framing and movement of the camera is the key to showing the action of the scene and can really make or break a film, no matter how long or short it is.
