different types of shots

1. Research into shot types:

Extreme Wide Shot (EWS)The subject/s cannot be seen,
has a wide view.
Very Wide Shot (VWS)- The
emphasis is placing the subject
in the environment. Closers
than a EWS but further away
from a WS.
Wide Shot (WS)- The subject
should take up most of the
frame.
Close Up (CW)-This is used to
show a certain feature and the
subject takes up most of the
frame, if the main subject is a
person then the shot is usually
from the shoulder upwards.

2. Mid shot (MS) - This shows
some detail of the main subject.
Extreme Close Up (ECU)- This
is to shows a particular feature
on a character or a detail on an
object.
Cut In (CI) –This shows a
specific part of the subject in
detail.
Cut Away (CA) –This shows
something other than the
current subject.

3. Two Shot- A shot with two
people in it.
Over the Shoulder Shot (OSS)
–This shot is framed from
behind a person who is looking
at the subject or object.
