Insert Shot / Film Study

Insert Shot

An insert shot is a shot that focuses on a particular detail ( mainly an object ) in a scene. It is used to communicate significant information to the audience about the film. There are three main aspects to an insert shot composition, colour and timing. The composition consists of shot size, shot angle and camera movement which help create a vibe and feel for the viewer. However, the colour in an insert shot helps attract attention to certain details in the film. Lastly, timing. The time spent on an insert shot determines the meaning of the insert shot.
