Middle of action: The middle of the action literally means THE MIDDLE OF THE ACTION. For example, let's say you set your camera up in the middle of a football huddle: It is one way to get a more interesting and emotional camera angle, you want your view to feel like they are right there, right in that football huddle. This can add a bit more interest to your video, instead of just shooting straight on all the time.

Front of the action: front of the action shot is when you snap the shot and it is facing the front of the object or person.

//Behind the action:// When the camera is placed behind a character or object to create the feel of following or watching. This type of shot is most often in action movies because it is great for chases or a race. As shown in the clip below. [|Hanna Escape Clip: (19-30)]



To the side of the action: It means that you are pretty much on the SIDE of the action. The picture explains how it seems like if you're standing on the sidelines of a baseball game. Explain how each of these might effect the shot?: With the different camera angles, then it will affect the mood and the feelings of the audience. What mood would they evoke?: Depends on the “theme” of the production, for example in a horror movie one could feel like they were the ones being murdered. When would they be used?: They would be used to help make the movie better than just keeping to one for the whole thing, it would make it a better video to watch.
