    What type of shot shows a subject down to his or her waist, e.g. showing head and shoulders? - ProProfs

    What type of shot shows a subject down to his or her waist, e.g. showing head and shoulders?

    • Long/Wide shot.

    • Medium shot.

    • Low Angle shot.

    • Full shot.

    Correct Answer
    A. Medium shot.
    Explanation
    A medium shot shows a subject from the waist up, including their head and shoulders. It is a shot that provides a closer view of the subject compared to a long/wide shot or a full shot, but not as close as a close-up shot. A low angle shot, on the other hand, refers to a shot taken from a low position looking up at the subject. Therefore, the correct answer is medium shot.

    The aerial shot has the effect of.... - ProProfs

    The aerial shot has the effect of....

    • Making the subjects seem strange or relatively small in their environment

    • Showing the actors' costumes from a different angle

    • Focusing on the detail of the actor's make-up

    • Creating interesting shapes on the screen

    Correct Answer
    A. Making the subjects seem strange or relatively small in their environment
    Explanation
    The aerial shot, by capturing the subjects from a high angle, creates a perspective that makes them appear smaller or insignificant in relation to their surroundings. This effect can be used to emphasize the vastness or grandeur of the environment and evoke a sense of awe or wonder. It can also make the subjects seem isolated or detached from their surroundings, adding a sense of strangeness or unfamiliarity to the scene.

    What shot is used to represent a character as having power? - ProProfs

    What shot is used to represent a character as having power?

    • High angle shot

    • Low angle shot

    • Establishing shot

    • Canted shot

    Correct Answer
    A. Low angle shot
    Explanation
    A low angle shot is used to represent a character as having power because it is filmed from a low point of view, looking up at the character. This angle makes the character appear larger and more dominant, creating a sense of authority and power. The low angle shot also gives the viewer a sense of vulnerability or intimidation, as they are looking up at the character. Overall, the low angle shot is a powerful visual technique used to convey the strength and authority of a character.

    Why is a Mid (or Medium) shot best used?

    • To show a characters facial expression while still showing a lot of their body

    • To show someones feet

    • To show someone walking

    • To show an aerial view of the scene.

    Correct Answer
    A. To show a characters facial expression while still showing a lot of their body
    Explanation
    A mid shot is best used to show a character's facial expression while still showing a lot of their body because it allows the audience to see the emotions and reactions on the character's face while also providing context with their body language and movements. This shot gives a balanced view of the character, capturing both their physical actions and their emotional state, which can enhance the storytelling and audience engagement.

    ______________ is performed by tilting the camera to the side so the shot is no longer level/straight.

    • High Angle

    • Bird's Eye

    • Point of View Shot

    • Dutch Angle

    Correct Answer
    A. Dutch Angle
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Dutch Angle. A Dutch Angle is a cinematographic technique where the camera is tilted to the side, creating a diagonal and off-kilter composition. This technique is used to convey uneasiness, disorientation, or tension in a scene. By tilting the camera, the shot is no longer level or straight, adding a sense of imbalance and distortion to the visual storytelling.

    • Establishing shot

    • Long shot

    • Close up

    • Extreme close up

    Correct Answer
    A. Long shot
    Explanation
    A long shot would be used to establish the full costume of a character in a TV drama. A long shot is a camera shot that captures the subject from a distance, showing the character in their entirety within the frame. This shot allows the audience to see the character's costume and get a sense of their appearance and presence in the scene. It helps to establish the character's visual identity and provides context for their role in the story.

    • Dutch Angle

    Correct Answer
    A. Extreme close up
    Explanation
    An extreme close up shot is used to show the emotions on a character's face. This shot focuses on a specific part of the face, such as the eyes or mouth, allowing the audience to see the subtle expressions and emotions displayed by the character. It helps to create a sense of intimacy and allows the audience to connect with the character on a deeper level.

    An over-the-shoulder shot is also known as a....?

    • High Angle shot.

    • Low Angle shot.

    • Eye Level shot.

    • Medium Shot.

    Correct Answer
    A. High Angle shot.
    Explanation
    An over-the-shoulder shot is a camera angle where the camera is positioned behind one character's shoulder, capturing the other character or scene in front. This shot is commonly used in filmmaking to show the perspective of the character being observed. A high angle shot, on the other hand, is a camera angle where the camera is positioned above the subject, looking down on it. While both shots involve the camera being positioned at a higher angle, the over-the-shoulder shot specifically refers to the camera being positioned behind a character's shoulder.

    • It captures the expressions of the character really well.

    Correct Answer
    A. The full character is shown in the setting.
    Explanation
    A wide shot is used when the camera person wants to show as much background as possible. In this type of shot, the full character is shown in the setting, allowing the audience to see the character's surroundings and understand their position in the scene. This shot is often used to establish a sense of location or to emphasize the character's relationship with their environment.
