1.CAMERA SHOTS THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CAMERA SHOTS
CAMERA SHOT DEFINITION
What is a camera shot? A camera shot is composed of the series of frames that are shot uninterrupted from the moment the camera starts rolling until it stops. Camera shots are an essential aspect of filmmaking and video productions, because by combining different types of shots, angles and camera movements, the filmmakers are able to emphasize specific emotions, ideas and movement for each scene.
Now let´s see one by one
2. CAMERA SHOT ANGLES
What is camera shot angle?
The camera shot angle is used to specify the location where the camera is placed to take a shot. The position of the camera in relation to the subjects can affect the way the viewer perceives the scene. A scene may be shot simultaneously from multiple camera angles to amplify the cinematic effect and the emotions.

TYPES OF CAMERA ANGLES
Let´s see one by one
1.Eye Level Shot
First, consider the most common height: the eye level shot. When your subject is at eye-level they’re in a neutral perspective (not superior or inferior). This mimics how we see people in real life -- our eye line connecting with theirs.
2.Low Angle Shot
A low angle shot frames the subject from a low camera height looking up at them. These camera shots most often emphasize power dynamics between characters.
3.High Angle Shot
In a high angle shot, the camera points down at your subject. It usually creates a feeling of inferiority, or “looking down” on your subject.
4.Bird’s Eye View Shot or Overhead Shot
An overhead shot is from way up high, looking down on your subject and a good amount of the scenery surrounding him or her. This can create a great sense of scale and movement.
3. PHOTOGRAPHY. COMPOSITION RULES.
Photography is an essential technique for transmitting visual information. As a beginner photographer you should be looking at the images made by other photographers, people whose work you admire. Among the many things that you may no doubt notice, you may also have noticed that somehow the compositions of these photographers tend to be a lot more eye catching. There is no magic wand which you can wave and your photography can become better all of a sudden. It does take a considerable amount of time and energy to develop the necessary skills to make great images. The first thing you must consider is a good understanding of the Compositional Rules of photography. This compositional rules are not designed to remove your creativity. Once you have mastered these rules, you would be able to go beyond them, break them whenever necessary so that you can create even more captivating images and you will consider them as guides.
This year we are going to focus just in three of them:
RULE OF THIRDS: The main object is placed on one of the intersections.
RULE OF SPACE: There is more space in front of the view of the person/animal than in the back
RULE OF THE HORIZON LINE: You can divide the landscape in three horizontal lines.

Different photograhpy genres
PHOTO TASK 1 : SHOT SIZES AND ANGLES
1. Plano general/long shot
2.Plano medio/ Medium shot
3.Plano americano/American shot
4.Primer plano/Medium close up
5.Primerísimo plano/Closeup
6.Plano detalle / Extreme closeup
CAMERA ANGLES
1. PLANO PICADO/ HIGH ANGLE
Este tipo de plano se consigue situando la cámara por encima del objeto protagonista de nuestra foto. En el caso de las personas, la cámara debe estar por encima de sus ojos, ligeramente angulada mirando hacia abajo. El plano picado empequeñece a nuestro sujeto, haciéndolo parecer inferior.
2. PLANO CONTRAPICADO/ LOW ANGLE
Este tipo de plano se consigue situando la cámara por debajo del elemento protagonista de nuestra foto. El plano contrapicado hace parecer más grande a nuestro sujeto, haciéndolo parecer superior, magnificente, y lo dota de poder o importancia.
3.PLANO CENITAL/OVERHEAD ANGLE
En este tipo de plano la cámara se sitúa justo encima del elemento protagonista, mirando directamente hacia el suelo.
4.PLANO NADIR/ GROUND LEVEL SHOT
Al contrario que en el plano anterior, en este tipo de plano la cámara se sitúa por debajo del sujeto, mirando completamente hacia arriba. Se ve el cielo o el techo.
