Extreme Wide/ Long Shot
This is where the whole of the scenery can be seen within the shot. The actors will look very small from here. These shots are usually used as establishing shots that introduce a certain place or character. Wide/ Long Shot This is where the whole body of the actor or actors can be seen, as well as some of the scenery. This is often used during conversations between two characters when over the shoulder shots would not be suitable and in tracking shots. Medium/ Mid Shot This is where the waist, upwards of the character can be seen within the shot and is one of the most common shots used in film and TV as it captures the emotions of the character whilst also catching paralinguistic features in a conversation. Medium Close-up This is where the shoulders and head can be seen within the shot and captures facial features well when they are particularly important. Close-up This is where the head and face of the character is in the shot and shows the facial features being made by the character even more clearly! It is often used when a certain reaction to an event is significant. Extreme Close-Up This is where one specific feature of the face or a particular object within a scene is highlighted by filling the shot. an example of this is in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho when Marion is lay on the floor after being murdered. There is an extreme close-up of her eye. Examples of some of these shots are in the Youtube video below:
