Takeaways

• 🎬 Film is a language with its own structure, rules, and elements that need to be understood to create a good movie.
• 📷 A shot (or 'sop') is the basic building block of a film, comparable to a word in a sentence. Multiple shots form a scene, and multiple scenes form a sequence.
• 🎥 A shot begins when the camera starts recording and ends when the recording stops, with no interruption in between.
• 🔍 Shots can be categorized by different criteria, such as subject size, number of subjects, camera height (angle), function, and perspective.
• 📏 Based on subject size, shots are divided into long shots, medium shots, and close-ups. These can be further divided into extreme long shot, full shot, cowboy shot, medium close-up, close-up, and extreme close-up.
• 👤 Based on the number of subjects, there are single shots, two-shots, three-shots, group shots, and over-the-shoulder shots.
• 🎯 A long shot shows the full body of the subject and the surrounding environment, while a medium shot highlights the subject from the knees or waist up, and close-ups focus on detailed expressions.
• 👀 Extreme close-ups are used to highlight specific details, such as eyes, lips, or other body parts, for emphasis.
• 👥 Over-the-shoulder shots are frequently used in dialogue scenes to emotionally connect two characters.
• 📚 The second part of the video will cover camera angles, functions, and perspectives of different shots, to be discussed in future videos.
