2. Extreme Wide
Shot
Here is a very wide
shot. It is basically
an establishing
shot and is so
zoomed out that
no detail or subject
can be seen yet.
The only obvious
information given
is the weather and
location.
3. Wide Shot
The subject takes
up majority of the
frame whilst his
whole body is still
comfortably in the
shot. It can be used
to give details
about the
character such as
their height.
4. Mid Shot
Gives a more
detailed
perspective of the
subject by only
putting his torso
and upwards in the
frame. This helps
to give more focus
to the shot.
5. Medium Close
Up
This is the halfway
point between a
Medium shot and
the Close up shot. It
shows more of the
body then a close
up. It helps to give
focus to the
shoulders without it
looking to squashed.
6. Close Up
This gives extreme
detail to the whole
face as it is
extremely zoomed
in. The whole face
takes up the frame
without it being
too zoomed in.
7. Extreme Close
Up
This gives extreme
detail to one area or
spot on the given
area. It limits what
the audience sees
but can be used to
show emotion of the
actors in a dramatic
or upsettting scene.
E.g crying
8. Point Of View
Shot
This gives the point
of view from the
subjects eyesight.
This helps to build
the relationship
between the
character and
audience.
9. Over The
Shoulder Shot
This is looking from
behind one
subject’s shoulder,
to the other
subject’s face. This
helps to shows a
free flowing
conversation
without showing
too much straight
away.
10. 2- Shot
This is used when two
people are in the
frame who are both
framed similarly. In
this case, both are in a
2 mid shot. It is used
to show a relationship
or lack of it. It also
helps to show the
audience what both
characters are feeling
at the same time as
both faces can be
seen.
