8. These mini-stories are called ‘sequences’. They’re like chapters in a book, made up of connected scenes that
focus on a specific event or goal within the movie.
9. A wide shot is a shot size, whereas an establishing shot is a technique. Wide shots refer to the distance
between the camera and the subject, whereas establishing shots come at the opening of a film or a new
scene to define where and when the action occurs. A wide shot can be an establishing shot, but it is not
always so.

10. (a) A: Extreme Close-Up (ECU) (b) Wide Shot (WS) or Establishing Shot
(c) Point-of-View (POV) Shot (d) Sequences

V. 1. A moving image is a series of images that, when played in fast succession, provide the illusion of motion.
Moving images can be caught by a camera, made by an animator, or produced by a computer. Examples
of moving images include films, animations, videos, news clips, home movies, slide shows, screen tests,
broadcasts, and multimedia.
2. You could use a High Angle Shot to show a seemingly peaceful house, then transition to a Low Angle Shot
looking up at the dark windows, followed by a Dutch Angle (tilted camera) to create a sense of unease. A
POV shot from the perspective of someone sneaking around the house could further build suspense.

3. • Fill Light: The fill light is used to reduce shadows created by the key light, balancing the lighting and
making the subject’s features more visible.
• Back Light: The back light shines from behind the subject, helping to separate them from the background
and adding depth to the scene.
• Soft and Hard Lighting: Soft lighting produces gentle shadows and a more diffused look, often flattering
for subjects, while hard lighting creates sharp shadows and a more dramatic effect.
4. In movies, sequences are like building blocks that come together to tell a story and evoke emotions.
Bollywood films are skilled at using these blocks to create engaging stories. For example, in “3 Idiots,”
the scene shifts seamlessly from a serious classroom scene to a comedic moment, making us laugh and
enjoy the lighter side of the story. Similarly, in “Dangal,” the transition from intense training sessions to
victorious wrestling matches captures the journey and success of the characters effectively.

These transitions in Bollywood movies make the storytelling smooth and captivating. They help us connect
with the characters and feel the ups and downs of their experiences.

5. In filmmaking, various types of shots are used to convey different messages and create specific effects.
(a) Wide shots establish the setting and context, such as the iconic shot of Hogwarts in “Harry Potter and
the Sorcerer’s Stone.”

(b) Medium shots focus on characters and their interactions, like the dialogue scenes in “Dil Chahta Hai”
that capture the emotions of the characters.

(c) Close-up shots emphasize details and emotions, seen in “Black Panther” during intense confrontations,
drawing viewers into the characters’ expressions.
(d) Extreme close-ups, as seen in “Dangal,” highlight specific features or objects for dramatic impact.

These shot types serve diverse purposes, from providing context to intensifying emotions and building
connections with the audience.

VI. • Panning: Use a slow pan from Sangeeta’s face to show the big, empty warehouse. This highlights her
helplessness and lets viewers explore with her.

• Zooming: Start with a medium shot of the record player, then slowly zoom in on a detail like a dusty
record slot. This focuses attention and hints at something important hidden inside.
