Camera Research Task...(Using the Hunger Games!)

Establishing Shot: Opening shot or sequence, frequently an exterior 'General View'. Used to set the scene.

Long Shot:This is the most difficult to categorize precisely, but is generally one which shows the image as approximately "life size"- corresponding to the real distance between the audience and the screen in a cinema (the figure of a man would appear as six feet tall). This  includes the FULL SHOT showing the entire human body, with the head near the top of the frame and the feet near the bottom. While the focus is on characters, plenty of background detail still emerges.

Medium Shot: Contains a figure from the knees/waist up and is normally used for dialogue scenes, or to show some detail of action. Variations on this include the TWO SHOT (containing two figures from the waist up) and the THREE SHOT (contains 3 figures...). Any more than three figures and the shot tends to become a long shot. Background detail is minimal, probably because location has been established earlier in the scene- the audience already know where they are and now want to focus on dialogue and character interaction. 

Medium Close-up Shot: In photography, film, or videotape production, shot where the subject and background share equal dominance in the picture. Usually shoulders and above.

Close-up Shot:This shows very little background, and concentrates on either a face, or a specific detail of the scene. Everything else is just a blur in the background. This shot magnifies the object and shows the importance of things, be it words written on paper, or the expression on someone's face. The close-up takes us into the mind of a character.

Extreme close-up: gets right in and shows extreme detail.You would normally need a specific reason to get this close. It is too close to show general reactions or emotion except in very dramatic scenes.

Over the Shoulder shot: this shot is framed from behind a person who is looking at the subject. The person facing the subject should usually occupy about 1/3 of the frame.This shot helps to establish the position of each person, and get the feel of looking at one person from the other's point of view.It's common to cut between these shots during a conversation, alternating the view between the different speakers.

High Angle Shot:A high angle shows the subject from above, i.e. the camera is angled down towards the subject. This has the effect of diminishing the subject, making them appear less powerful, less significant or even submissive.

Low Angle Shot: This shows the subject from below, giving them the impression of being more powerful or dominant.
