The document defines different types of shots used in filmmaking including establishing shots, long shots, medium shots, close ups, and two shots. Establishing shots are used to set the scene and show transitions between locations. Long shots show the full body from a distance to depict isolation or vulnerability. Medium shots are the most common, showing a person from the waist up to ground the story. Close ups fill at least 80% of the frame. Two shots equally include both characters to emphasize their interaction.
