omg im in my second year and literally just thought about this!

Camera Techniques Extreme wide shot (establishing shot) Used at the start of a scene to show the geometry so the audience understands where everything is Wide shot Wide and clear view of everything that’s going on Mid shot More up close and personal (from the waist to the head of the subject) Medium close up Used to draw the viewer's attention to something Close up Used to point out something or someone that's important (usually a face) Extreme close up Used to convey emotions (usually eyes) High angle Used to make the subject feel small, vulnerable and powerless Low angle (hero angle) Used to make the subject feel large and powerful Over the shoulder Used when people are talking 180° rule (if you switch persons it should be on the same side) Lens compression When you zoom in you compress the space Pan shot Used to reveal things that weren’t previously in frame (camera turns in the same spot) Tilt shot Pan shot but vertical :) Crab shot When you follow someone while walking (horizontally) Tracking shot Moving backward or forward tracking a subject Focus pull Changing the focal point to decide what the audience looks at. Editing Jump cut Quick / abrupt cut ( usually used in horror movies ) Match on action Continuing a movement from the same positions in different shots Slow paced editing Low amount of shots, creating a calm feeling Fast speed editing High amount of shots, creating a fast paced and intense feeling Colour grading Manipulate colours to look a certain way or give a certain feel Transitions Makes the transitions between shots smoother Sound Shotgun mics Only pick-up sound from the front [ Good quality ] Condenser mics Used for voice overs, music recording, etc, you have to be close to it [ Great quality ] Lavalier mics Usually used in interviews because they're small [ Average quality ] Lighting High Key lighting A lot of light hitting the subject Three-point lighting ( 3 lights in the scene ) Key light Brightest light on subject Fill light Less bright light filling in the rest of the subject Edge / Rim light Separates subject from background Low Key lighting A lot of contrast in the scene because of less lighting Reflector Bounces light Gels Different gels can be used to make the light softer, coloured, etc

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! If you google some other examples it might make more sense. It's not so much that the distance or difference in size of the characters changes. It's more about how the background and the foreground are brought together and seem closer than the wide angle version. Hopefully you'll find something that helps :)

@AlfieVaughan

Thank you! Yeah lighting is something that came later for me as well. You can get the big softbox lights I have pretty cheaply but they're better for even lighting. If it's for cinematic stuff like short films those small LED panels I was using are £25 each (the bigger one is about £110) LEDs are really good and easy to control. If you google some cheap LED panel film lights you'll find loads of options. You can't really go wrong but read the reviews and see what people say :)
