This is also known as an extreme long shot, and takes a very 'far out' perspective of a scene in order to establish setting and atmosphere, but also to ease the audience into a scene.
LONG SHOT
The long shot is used to give a head to foot perspective of a character. This establishes the character, and also displays some of the surroundings. The long shot may also give a better view of the action, as the audience can see the whole character.
MID SHOT
The Mid-Shot is usually taken from the waist up of a character. Often used in conversation, or a characters action. This adds a closer perspective of the character, allowing audience to watch the body language.
TWO SHOT
This is where two characters are in frame. Usually in a conversation, it allows the viewers to see both characters. It helps in a fast paced conversation, as it avoids constant cutting.
CLOSE UP
A close-up is a commonly used shot. It gives an intimate connection between character and audience, and draws the focus to facial expression.
POINT OF VIEW SHOT
This shot is taken from the characters point of view, like a first person perspectives. In shows the characters take on a scene, and gives a closer relationship between character and audience, almost making them one and the same!
EXTREME CLOSE UP
Extreme Close Ups focus on a specific bodily feature or prop, emphasising their importance.
