About This Class

In film, each scene is made up of shots to build coverage to edit together a final scene. There is a language to film, and if we think of it in terms of actual language, then we could think of a scene as a sentence. In this case, camera shots would be words, coverage would be the collection of words we've chosen to use to form that sentence, and editing would be the organization of those words to form the final coherent and hopefully emotionally impactful visual sentence. Before we can build our visual sentence, we must first understand all the words (shot types) we can choose from.

My name is Isaac Albert, welcome to this course The Art of Visual Storytelling with Framing Sizes and Camera Lenses in Cinematography. With years of knowledge in filmmaking and training film students all over the world, I am confident that you’d be well equipped with the fundamentals of cinematography to get you started in your filmmaking journey. Camera shots are the essential aspect of filmmaking and video productions. By combining different types of shots, angles, and camera movements, the filmmakers can emphasize specific emotions, ideas, and moments for each scene.

I created this course in response to some of the biggest questions I get asked all the time which are:

  • What camera shots sizes can I use?
  • Why and when should I use them?
  • What camera Lenses should I use for a different shot?
  • Why should I use them?

Amateurs will just point a camera at a bunch of actors and record the scene. But experienced filmmakers don't just make recordings. They tell stories visually. And there's a big difference.

framing a scene from a different camera point of view can help you give the viewers multiple perspectives of what they are looking at. It can help them understand the scene and pull the viewers into the story world.

When it comes to shot types and framing sizes, there is a great deal of confusion out there by hundreds of online courses, filmmaking blogs, tutorials, and filmmakers’ programs. Many of them refer to shot sizes differently causing beginners to mix up the actual concepts and theories of cinematography. For example, making it difficult for beginners to understand that shot size, shot types, framing sizes, and camera sizes all mean the same thing in filmmaking. All these gaps and many more puzzles will be solved along the primary goal of this course. To train you heavily on the use and craft of cinematography basic tools for professional narrative storytelling. Whomever you want to be in the screen industry, you need the basics. Take this course as a solid foundation for becoming a professional filmmaking cinematographer. 

In this course, you will learn:

  • the Camera shots sizes, and framing sizes in filmmaking
  • the Importance, meaning, and use of Camera shots sizes
  • the difference between shot types, framing sizes or camera sizes or shot sizes, camera angles, and camera movements
  • when and why should you use Camera shots sizes in a scene coverage
  • shot Composition and Framing
  • Lens type to use for different shot sizes: how camera lenses function, different types of lenses and their distinct capabilities and functions, the difference between a zoom lens and a prime lens, and many more.
  • You will also learn the overall fundamentals of Cinematography

This course is created with a high level of straight-to-the-point simplified practical analysis and breakdowns of concepts and theories of framing sizes in cinematography. I extracted more than a thousand screenshots from hundreds of Hollywood movies of all time in order to help you see and learn exactly how it is done by industry professionals and how you too can replicate the same results in your film productions.

This course is created for complete beginner and intermediate filmmakers who are still struggling to master shot sizes in cinematography.

In the end, you will maximize your knowledge of the art and craft of camera framing for visual storytelling. The title of this course is saturated as everyone now thinks they know exactly how framing in cinematography works and how to teach it. Trust me, you can never get this kind of pro course anywhere else.

By the end of this course, you will be able to define the essential shot sizes and shot types in a filmmaker's toolbox. And how to use the right shot at the right time to create memorable cinematic moments on screen. Are you ready? Let’s get started.

1. TRAILER: It's scene is made up of shots to beat up coverage to edit together a final scene. There is a language to FIM. And if we think of it in terms of actual language, then we could think of is seen as a sentence. In this case, camera shots would be what coverage would be the collection of words we've chosen to use to form that sentence. And editing would be the organization of those words to form the final, coherent, and hopefully emotionally impossible visual sentence. Before we can build our visual sentence, we must first understand how the world shots types we can choose from. My name is Robert. Welcome to this course on mastering Hollywood's shortstops and framing sizes in visual narrative storytelling. With years of knowledge in filmmaking, hi, I'm confident that you'll be well-equipped with the fundamentals of cinematography to get you started in your film-making journey, one of the biggest questions I get asked is, what camera shot sizes can I use? Why and when should I use them? Ganache shots are essential aspects of film-making and video productions. By combining different types of shots, angles, and camera movement, the filmmakers can emphasize specific emotions. Ideas are moments for each scene. Cinematography, framing refers to the way elements are arranged within the camera screen. Essentially what the camera sees the way up those are blocked, move through the scene and set design. All these things play a role in framing, as we'll learn in this course, framing is also affected by the choice of layers. There is a framing plays a large role in the telling of a visual story. I chose we just point a camera at a bunch of actors or record the scene. But as parents, we make us don't just make recordings. They tell stories visually. And there's a big difference. Different frame sizes in a scene are so important for perspectives. Framing as seen from a different camera point of view can help you to give the viewers multiple perspectives of what they are looking at. It can also help them understand the scene and pull them into the storyworld. Different cameras sizes, frame sizes are short sizes can help us convey different emotions in a scene. This course as a solid foundation for becoming a professional filmmaker and cinematographer. Therefore, every little piece of the camera shots taught in this course are the little dots. The professional fee make us connect that make them who they are if you want to become like them, this goes, is where to begin your journey. You will have to first master every shots, types, and sizes and cinematography. Now just learning them for learning sake, you will have to know and understand the minis and foundations they represent in visual and narrative storytelling. This course is created for beginner filmmakers and to participate excellently with this course, you will need basic knowledge. Cinematography. But if at all, you don't have any knowledge, it okay, but to participate in the practical aspect, you would need a camera or a smartphone. This course, you will learn the camera shot sizes and framing sizes in remaking the importance, meaning and use of camera shot sizes. When and why should you use cameras shot sizes in a sink coverage, shot composition, and framing lens types to use for differential sizes or viral fundamentals of cinematography. This course is created for a complete beginner in filmmaking cinematography well-defined the essential shot sizes and shortstops in a female has two bucks an hour to use the right shots at the right time to create memorable moment on screen. Such choices to establish the tone and many of his sin, knowing which would be the most, are statically and dramatically valuable for a given scene, should be the highest priority for both a director and a DB. If you are able to complete this cost to the hand, there's a bonus waiting for you. So let's get started. 2. Mastering Camera Lenses in Cine: Camera lens sizes, we'll discuss briefly the lens type in cinematography, as they will be the essential part of the choice of shots framing, there's a good deal of confusion about the various lenses at our disposer and the unique storyteller effects each imbues. The goal of this lesson is to help you decode unique technical aspects of each lens type. To also classify the different types of camera lenses so that you can confidently know and understand which lenses or set of lenses will serve your story-based. The main criterion which, which lenses are categorized is therefore, essentially focal length is a measurement between the optical center of the lens and the image plane, either the film strip or the camera sensor. The focal length, distance measured in millimeters have a direct relationship with the field of view, are wide or narrow, you can capture an image. Different lenses are used for different situations. And this isn't limited to photo lenses of video lenses. It's important to think about your lenses decisions before you step on set, especially before you fire up your shortlist. That where you know what kind of equipment and supporting gears you will need to get beforehand. So let's break this down for every type of camera lens as distinct qualities and visual characteristics that every image maker should understand. If you master the art of framing instead of cartography, and you lacked the knowledge of less choice for different framings situations, you will end up creating inconsistent cinematic scenes because you will be using lenses. But we don't know why you are using them. If you choose the wrong lens for the wrong short, then you may end up achieving nothing close to professionals cinema images, this is why it is so important to know the difference between lenses in cinematography. Finding the right lens for your camera can vastly improve your images and overall production. But learning what you need to know about video and photo camera lenses can be time-consuming, offer wrought with trial. You may not learn in depth about lenses in cinematography in both atlas is to equip you with the basic knowledge to kick start your production for a cinematic result, if you want to level up your less knowledge than you can learn. For that in a separate course, the commonly used less type of Foucault range you will need to refer to when it comes to short framing in cinematography, or wide angle lens, standard or normal lens. On long lists. The longer the lens, the larger the image, long lives, the closer the image, the natural possession or the humor highest proximity to the hemorrhage, standard range lens. The further away the camera, the shorter the lens. This melodic image, wide angle lens. The choice of length type you make between these three will have a great impact on the coverage of your scene. This is so important as it will help you shoot a professional cinematic image. Or lenses fall under two categories. Prime lenses, zoom lenses. Prime plus a prime lens is any lens with a fixed focal length. Therefore, it cannot be zoomed in to transform the field of view of the lens and lens with a focal length of 50 millimeter is one example of a prime lens. You are unable to change the focal length of a prime lens. I'll have a USD able to adjust the focal distance of the lens where the focus ring, zoom lens. A zoom lens is any lens with a variable focal length. It can vary its focal length by adjusting various lens elements. It can be zoomed into transform the focal length and therefore the field of view. This magnifies or the magnifies the subject to bring them closer or further from the audience. Let go over how a lens works. Light passes into the lens and through different glass shade called Les elements. This elements lightly bend on, refract the light so it's land on a focal point on an image sensor. This is where a picture is created. Every lens is distinguished by its focal length expressed in millimeters, such as 50 millimeter lens. Some common focal length range from the white 70 millimeter lens to the narrow 200 millimeter lens. However, some lenses are extremely short focal length, such as four millimeter fish islands are extremely long focal lengths, such as 1,200 telephoto lens. Now, the focal length is simply the distance between the optical center of the lens to the image sensor. The longer the focal length, such as honored millimeter, the more narrow your angle of view is, the shorter the focal length such as 2.4 millimeter, the wider your angle of view. Wide-angle lenses, or the focal length 2-4 mm and that five millimeter. This is great for capturing wide shot beyond affecting a short size. Wide-angle lenses are also great when the camera, I want to keep both the subject and the background in focus in the scene. This is commonly used to shoot landscapes or a massive location at once in a single shot when used in tight spaces, wide angle lenses can create distance. Some cinematographers use a wide lens in conversation, dialogue, scene to make two characters fear far apart, while also making the audience feel more present. Wide-angle lenses are great for influencing the audience perspective. Other than that, a wide-angle lens is a very bad choice when it comes to a tight or loose options. It's only good for a wide or long shot capturing the entirety of the character in relation to this scene environment. The standard range length normalize is essential if we want a more natural look. Standard lenses, also called normal lenses. Lenses between 35-millimeter to 50 millimeter focal length of standard lenses is most similar to how the human High see the world. This becomes the ideal choice when cinematographers want a granted unnatural presentation. Standard lens AppSource feel like we are seeing with our own eyes, allowing us to feel present in the moment. This type of lens is important when the frame is size costs for a medium food shows cardboard shot, medium shot, medium close-up shot, long lens or telephoto lens. Long lens or telephoto lens is any lens with a focal length of 70 millimeter and hope for a full frame cameras. And so your focal length would be anything above 70 millimeter, often referred to as Long lenses. And some long lenses can also be referred to as telephoto lens. A long focal lens is a camera lens that as a focal length that is longer than the diagonal measure of the film or sensor that receives image. It is used to make these data objects appear magnified with magnification increasing as longer focal length lenses are used. Most commonly used to show far away objects with accurate perspective and with a level of precise detail that was once only possible with close-up range coverage, many filmmakers choose to use long lenses for close-up shots because it allows the director of photography to a close up with a long lens. At a close range, long lenses make the depth of field more shallow, causing the background to blow. I'm bringing increased focus to the foreground, which includes your actor's face. Depth of field is used to describe the size of the area where the subjects you have female is relatively sharp. The point of focus is the object in the frame that the filmmaker most want to call attention to. A close-up shot requires a more shallow depth of field so that the focus is completely on your subject and the background is thrown out of focus, avoiding unnecessary distractions in the frame. To achieve this loop, a long lens is needed, so you don't need to worry about placing your subject far away from the background for all the reasons mentioned so far, long lenses are almost always the way to go for any form of close-up shot. My favorite focal lengths for close-up shots is five millimeter. And I'm certainly not the only one to use this lens as my go-to for C, you should. In fact, it's been a long time favorite for many cinematographers in the industry over the years. The best for car range for portraits at short, is it five millimeter? One that five millimeter, because of the beautiful way that these lenses we flatten your subject. Macro lenses. Macro lens is sometimes referred to as micro lenses don't fall within a specific range, like our previous lessons. For instance, you could have an extreme wide angle macro lens with a focal length of 50 millimeter. Or you could have a telephoto macro lens with a focal length of 200 millimeter. Macro lenses are defined by their ability to capture extreme close-up shots with the sharpest detail. This makes macro lens is perfect for extreme close-up shots. When choosing macro lenses, two things must be considered. Magnification ratio or minimum focusing distance. Macro lenses of a one ratio, one magnification ratio, meaning size of the image captured is the same size as in real life macro lenses of one racial want magnification ratio, meaning the size of the image captured is the same size as in real life. Other macro lenses of a five to one magnification ratio, meaning the size of the image captured is five times bigger than in real life in regards to minimum focusing distance, this is simply how close or how far you need to be subject to stay in focus if you're shooting distance objects such as insects, and you don't want to cast shadows, are scared them off. You want to use a macro lens with a longer focal length. If we are able to get up close and personal with your subject and want to include more of the background, you may opt for a macro lens with a shorter focal length. The macro lens can often feel like a magnifying glass over and over. Important plot details in a scene is that shot. This sort of lens is great for capture in such short jockey, short extreme close-up shot and magnified shot of any tiny image. 3. Different types of Shots: The difference between shots types, framing sizes, or camera sizes are shot sizes, camera angles, and camera movements. Starting out, I had difficulties differentiating between the Mini of shuts tight framing or camera size or short size coming up on GU and camera movement. In this lesson, I'm going to help you solve the puzzle. Firstly, note that these shots type covers all other kinds of shots in females. It is referring to any form of visual presentation or coverage in cinematography, it's a self explanatory type of short mini dots, whatever composition technique the filmmaker engaged to make a complete shot. Composition in this sense means the combination of shots to make a single shot in a single frame. A high angle, low angle, angle, Dutch angle, long shot, medium shot, point of view in that shot, close-up shot, center composition, pushing, push out to all and more are what filmmakers referred to as the shots type in cinematography. Differently size cameras sighs, shot size are referring to the same thing, which is the size of the image in a short, in this type of shot, the camera is placed either closer to the subject recording from occlusal perspective or it is taken far away from the player, picking him up from a wider or a long distance perspective. This is what we call short size cameras, size of framing, size type of shot in cinematography. They come around. The camera angle is another type of shirts that is referring to the placement of the camera from a different perspective. This means that the camera is stationed strategically to capture the action at the best view and go corner opposition that best conveys the intended emotion in the scene. Whether to capture it from the ground up, from this side, or from the top. These types of shots are used creatively by professionals with a purpose in mind, the best way to tell the story is to evoke a very strong emotional response from the audience. So the camera movement is also a kind of short in cinematography. It means the motion of the camera to capture a dramatic moment of the players in a scene. In cinematographic camera movement, we have tracking, pushing, pulling away, and so on. Filmmakers always engage the use of suitable film-making equipment, dolly crane, and so hard to pull this how to better learn. Our professionals. Use the camera movement to create tension and IT, and the suspense in narrative, visual storytelling. You will learn more about that throughout this entire course. 4. Establishing Shot Theory and Pra.mp4: Establishing shot, that mean Kelli speaking an establishing shot is usually a wide shot, also called a longshot. It can also be an extreme long shot or an era shot that shows a lot of the settings for context in film production and establishing shot, letting the audience know the setting for this scene they're about to watch. Certain includes blaze and oftentimes, both time of day and potentially time in history, idea OSCE, some bouquets rolling around the street or at their spaceship flying around in the background. Their soldiers guard around the house. Therefore, the following are some facts about establishing shot. Establishing shot. I usually only a few seconds. Law. Establishing shots set the stage for what's about to happen. Does they don't need to be longer than a few seconds. Establishing shot is filmed with a wide angle lens. Establishing shots usually don't include the characters. Most establishing shot focus on the setting in which the action takes place. Not the characters. Establishing shot don't include dialogue. Instead, they have accompany music or sound effects. Establishing shots don't evoke a lot of emotion. My setup what emotion or mood the audit is about to see. But there are more functional than emotionally expressive establishing shot might be stock footage if a shortlist cost for a basic establishing shot contemporary Los Angeles, rather than tasking the crew which capturing area or skyline future stock footage. Cuz suffice the following are the functions of establishing shot by Iran. So Qin established short can serve multiple purposes in a film and there is no one right way to shoot their most establishing shot. Hep, a director achieve one or several of the following transition to a new scene. An establishing shot sends a clear message that in new scene is starting, review or clarify the scenes location, showing a recognizable landmark tells the audience where the story or the next scene is set. E.g. the Empire State Building indicates the nursing takes place in New York City, or big band indicates that it takes place in London. Establishing shot is especially helpful if the story jumps around from city to city. Grandison in time, most establishing shot include a specific time of day, e.g. is shorter of the sun rising at the beach tells the audience that the next scene takes place on or near the ocean early in the morning give supporting details. The use of an establishing shot can also give the audience supporting details. They might not have known about a setting or otherwise, e.g. in the Star Wars films, establishing shot to review what different planets look like, what futuristic cities look like. Different aircraft on which people travel through space. Give this a text element of the story. Established shot can be f, If the details of the time or place are important to the story. In a movie about a star athlete, it trainees see introduced by an establishing shot of this sunrise as convey that the main character is committed to their training. Introduce a concept and establishing shots can also introduced a concept or overall theme, e.g. an opening shot of ballerinas in a dance studio establishes a pilot team. It can also be a camera sweep of his sin environment in its entirety, introducing or establishing this situation around the scene before this seem proper. Establishing shot is not always necessary when used well, they can help the female cartel a more complete and coherent story. So remember, an establishing shot is a crucial introductory component of any scene. It is often followed by the master shots. 5. Extreme Wide Shot Practical Analysis: Extreme long shot or extreme wide shot set the camera further away from the subject. And it's typically used to emphasize settings or to establish location. Extreme long shot. Extreme long shot. And establishing shots, extreme long shot or extreme wide shot, set the camera for this away from the subject, and it is typically used to emphasize settings are established location. Most common visual elements to open a scene or even an entire theme is the establishing shot or extreme long shot. The extreme long shot takes in the entirety of the environment. This could be anything from a shot of an entire planet down to a city or a massive pull back of the actual scene. You see extreme wide shot in every type of field. But they are used a lot to great effect in epic films with a massive scope that makes the world feel huge. The extreme long shot is typically wide enough to establish the geography time of the day. The extreme long shot is typically wide enough to establish the geography, time of day and shows the scale of subjects in relation to the environment. Like Blade Runner or Lord of the Rings. For instance. You see this shot conveying the amount of space our heroes need to travel, or the scale of a Butterfield. The following are some points to note about extreme long shot, an establishing shot. Extreme long shot may be abbreviated as ELS or AWS. The establishing shot are usually framed with a wide angle lens. The choice of lens is usually wide angle lenses. The extreme long shot is traditionally is used in the stereo shooting and compasses a wide and deep field of view. For me in an image that shows a large amount of the environment within the famous piece, often used as an establishing shot at the beginning of a motion picture or the start of a new sequence of sin within a motion picture, typically of epic buttresses and Zohar. Aws shows where urban, suburban, rural up mountains, desert, ocean, but to feed and so hard. Aws may show when day, night, summer, winter, spring for distance past, present, future and so forth may show loans stranger walking into tonne, massive invading army. Most often the human figures in the ELS, if present at all. So small that details are not distinguishable. Last, no specific location information. We converted. 6. Wide Shot in Depth: Wide shots WAS a longshot. La's extreme long shot, wide shot, long shot of flu shots, ELS WAS LSF phase. These are all in the same family of longshot. Longshot are wide shot, often abbreviated as Ls, are WAS is a type of shot that shows a large area displaying the width, height, and depth of the sea. Physical or spatial relationship between or among subjects, objects, and their actions are clearly visible in this form of shots. This short may include a landscape, a street, a house, or a room, or any setting where the events takes place. This is a camera shots that balances both the subject and the surrounding imagery. A wide shot will often keep the entire subject in frame. Why giving context to the environment? The environment or location is determinant of the scene, while n persons or objects appear smaller within it of all cameras shot, a long shot gives us a better idea of the series setting and gives us a better idea of all of our the character fits into the area. Wide shots should keep a good deal of space both above and below your subject. It also creates a narrative distance which the subjects often dwarfing characters against a very massive landscape. The long-short can also establish place, time, and mood for the audience. Therefore, the following. At some point to note about wide shot or longshot. Longshot are wide shot, maybe abbreviated as LS WS. Ls WS shot is filmed using a wide angle lens. It may be used in exterior or interior shooting when enough with an ITE exist within the studio set by location beauty such as an open warehouse, hairline, anger charge, or sport arena. The environment within the fame space is still very important as it feels much of the screen, but the human figure is more visible and we may not be able to observe enough gluten details of the subject in this form of shot. It may be used as an establishing shot where the movement of the character brings the finger closer to the camera. It may be used as a master shot. It's also shows where, when and a bit more of what's in the frame. But the subject is a bit more in focus, but we are still pull back. They are not filling the frame. The practical exercise of this shot should take in the entire area of action in the scene. The lungs shots should be employed to establish all elements in the scene so that viewers will know who is involved and where they are located as they move about. Subjects and transits, exit and movements should be shown in longshot whenever their location in the setting is narratively significant. Following the players around in close-up shots may confuse the audience or to their whereabouts in relation to the setting the other players. It is therefore essential to re-establish the scene in a long shot. Whenever considered taboo subjects, movement is involved. Long shot at generally lucidly composed, so that subjects are giving insignificant room to move about. 7. Master Shot in Great Detail: Master shot. The master shot is more like establishing shot, but the average is slightly different in them. The master shot doesn't have to necessarily be a wide longshot ELS, but unfortunately, people take one for the order. Like the establishing shot, a master shot confines the location and geography of the scene. It also clarifies which characters are in the scene and where they are in relation to each other. The big difference between an establishing shot and a master shot is the length. And establishing shots usually only last for a few seconds, but a master shot can last a few minutes. As such, it must have shot can be cut down and used as an establishing shot. An establishing shot cannot be used as a master shot at the start of each scene, wasn't the directors. Ed is how to set up the tone and the context for what the audience is about to watch in a brief amount of time. This Fs the audience connect well with the emotion that evolve as the same progresses. Master shots can be a single shot captured from a single position without moving that ankle passes the action of a scene from start to finish. Yeah. Some fact about master shot, an establishing shot that uses extreme long shot. Master shot only uses a long, short, or medium long shots. The master shot is framed with a wide angle lens. A master shot is continuous filament of a scene in its entirety that captures all of the necessary information in the scene. If am recording of an entire dramatize seen from start to finish from a camera angle that gives all the players in view. Usually the master shot is the first shot checked off on this shooting list. During the shooting of your scene, master shots captures all of the necessary information in the scene. It serves as a backup that the editor can go back to in case other foods they didn't capture all of the necessary shot. And Angus master shots can last a few minutes. It also clarifies which characters are in the scene and where they are in relation to each other. Remember, the master shot captures the same plane out in its entirety. 8. Camera Full Shot in Detail: Full shot. The first shot is the flu shot is in the family of long or wide shot. It is a form of camera shots in theme that lead your subject feel the frame, add to toe while still allowing some features of this scenery. Sometimes this shot is used as the master shot of a syn, meaning the shots let us know the environment of the character in the scene. The following, at some point to note about flu shot, it may be abbreviated as fs. This is usually considered a flu shot, full body shot, wide but close to a figure with Ed and fit just visible in the frame. Ls WS shot is filmed using a wide angle lens. Larger human figures should take attention away from the environment or whoever the character. So Randy's as visible as still important for the audience to see. It may still work well as an establishing shot, especially within a smaller interior space or a contained a studio space, like the doorway to a storefront. It shows where when a war began, that gloating movement and dinner facial expressions may be absorbed more easily if full camera shot is so that they can be seen in their entirety. Why giving significance to the context of the scene. 9. Medium Wide Shot in Depth: Medium wide shot, m, ws, medium lungs, short MLS, medium flu shot or carbide shots, CS, or play the same role in the medium shot family is cinematography.
