Types Of Special Effect Shots
INSERT: Used to show some detail that us not included in the scene but that is important to it.
POV Abbreviation for "point of view." It is a cinematic trick use to present a scene so that the audience sees it through the eyes of a particular character. Moreover it is a means for transmitting a emotional response of your character so clearly that the audience feels the same response.
The POV can also be used to show the point of view of almost any subject of the shot.
Example:
TRANS AM POV
As the twin headlights cut through the steadily thickening for, revealing a dirt road ahead.
REVERSE POV: the point of view is reversed to show the subject of the original shot.
Example:
TRANS AM REVERSE POV
The the twin headlights turn off.
OVER THE SHOULDERS SHOT: We see the back of the subjects head from the shoulders up in the foreground while the camera focuses of a specific thing in the background.
SERIES OF SHOTS: literally a series of shots. Used to show the passage of time, stream of consciousness, separate but relative events that lead up to a climatic scene.
SLOW MOTION: Self explanatory. . .
AERIAL SHOT. A shot taken from an airplane.
SLIPT SCREEN: Used to show two different subjects.
FREEZE FRAME: The picture stops moving and becomes a still photograph for a certain amount of time.
MONTAGE: A sequence of shots similar to a SERIES OF SHOTS. The difference is that more is shown on the screen at the same moment.
STOCK SHOT: Events that have happened and been filmed are canned and stored in Hollywood. A STOCK SHOT is the used of such films.
SUPER: Abbreviation of Superimpose. Sometime a TITLE is superimposed of a scene.
