Camera Shots
Establishing Shot- This is usually the first shot of a new scene, designed for showing the audience where the action is taking place. It is usually a very wide shot or an extreme long shot.
Long Shot- This is very similar to an establishing shot but the director moves much closer to the subject/actors.
Medium Long Shot- This is closer to the actor and their environment. The director could be showing something of importance to the actor.
Medium Shot/ Mid Shot- There will be space for hand gestures in the frame, bottom of the frame will pass roughly through the waist.
Medium Close Up- Head and shoulders of the character, usually shown to around mid upper arm.
Close Up- Shot of head and top of the shoulders only. They are used regularly with with medium and long shot.
Big Close Up- Shows the actors face to show emotion. Usually, some of the head will be cut off.
