Changing the quality of an image to make things clearer or more blurry. Usually by switching from
focusing on one thing to another at different distances

Camera Operator moving in either a semi-circle or full-circle direction around the action
A single recording of a camera placed in a specific spot and framed and composed a specific way
A single recording or “try” of a shot, often done multiple times in order to get the best “take” for the video

W = zoom out T = zoom in

Close-up of an object or action used to show importance/call the audience attention to it.
A shot that is intentionally shown to be from the eyes of a specific character. Often created by
shooting a close-up of a character then shooting a shot of what they are looking at.

A shot that only has one character in it (“TWO-SHOT” or “DOUBLE” has two and a “THREE-SHOT” has three)

A Pan/Tilt but fast enough for motion blur to obscure the shot. Can be used to transition from
one shot/scene to another.

Compositional technique in which subjects/things on the left/right and/or top/bottom sides are
equal or close to the same. (opposite of symmetry = asymmetry)

The drawings and notes of a story that helps plan and record.
The writing of a story with descriptions and dialogue in a special format. (1 page = about 1 minute of video)
