Shot Types

 Extreme Wide Shot - Generally used to open a film or scene to help set the location and mood of the shot. They are filmed from a distance for example a city skyline or to show to situation of a character.

Long Shot - focuses on a character from head to toe, shows as being life size. There is still lots of background detail to show the location.

Medium Long Shot - between a long shot and a medium shot, shows the character from the knees up popular in wester movies to show the guns.

Medium shot - used for dialogue scenes, the audience is focused on the characters rather than the scene around them .

Medium Close Up - Shows characters chest up. It shows more detail than other shots and can show basic emotions and props well.

Close Up - Can show expressions or emotions in a characters face.

Extreme Close Up - framed very close up to the character so you can only see small areas of the face e.g. one eye.
