Cinematography:

Cinematography: The way it is shot; the relationship between the camera lens, the focal length, light source, and camera positions.

Definitions:

(Camera Lens)
- Deep Focus: depth of field applied to the area in focus within the frame.
- Shallow Focus: narrow depth of field - 1 thing in focus with the rest (background) out of focus.
- Racking Focus: to change the focus of the lens to the subject in the background to the foreground
- Zoom Shot: the change of focal length of the lens in the middle of a shot

(Film Speed)
- Rate: the standard rate for a film is 24 frames per second if you add more to the second the film will slow down if you add less frames to the second it will speed up.
- Angle Of Framing: filming from different angles is a way to show the relationship between the cameras view point and the subject of the frame.
- Level Of Framing: refers to the height at which the camera is positioned in point of view.
- Canted Framing: where the camera is not level but tilted.
- Following Shot/Re-frame: a following shot that shows pans, tilts and tracking. 
- Point Of View Shot: this shot places the camera where the viewer would imagine a characters gaze to be.
- Wide Angle Lens: distorts the edges of a frame to emphasise the amount of space in a shot.

(Shot Type or SCALE)
- Extreme Long Shot: when the scale of what is being seen is tiny.
- Long Shot: when the scale of what is being seen is small. (head to toe)
- Medium Long Shot: when what is being seen is being viewed takes up almost the entire height of the screen.
- Medium Close up: when what is being viewed is large and takes up most of the screen.
- Close up: when what is being seen is quite large and takes up the entire screen. (head to shoulders)
- Extreme Close Up: when what is being viewed is very large. (just the face eg eyes)
- Crane Shot: is achieved by mounting a camera on some type of crane.
- Steady Cam Shot: a harness that supports the camera on a persons body.
- Pan: camera movement following the action left to right.
- Tilt: a vertical pan where the camera moves up and down.
- Tracking Shot: follows action through space in a variety of directions.
- Whip Pan: same as normal pan but involves quicker movement.
