Research and Planning: Camera shots and their definitions

I then decided to find out the exact definitions for the shots that we are considering to use.
Viewpoint- The apparent distance and angle from which the camera views and records the subject.
We may use this to show the view of the police officers, as though the audience is there as the police officer experiencing what they are experiencing.
Two-shot- A shot of two people together.
This will simply be used to establish who’s in the scene.
Selective focus- Rendering only part of the action field in sharp focus though the use of a shallow depth of field.
This will be used instead of a close up on the chips. It will show the action in the background.
Following pan- The camera swivels to follow a moving subject.
This will be used when the undercover agent walks down the stairs towards the gangsters room.
