1. CAMERA MOVEMENT
AND COMPOSITION

2. Close Up (CU)
Top of head to shoulders

3. Medium Shot (MS)
Top of head to waist

4. Wide Shot (WS)
Top of head to feet

5. Long Shot (LS)
Anything wider than a wide shot

6. Extreme Close Up (ECU)
Anything closer than a Close Up (CU)

7. Headroom
It’s important to leave space above the top of
the head and the top of the frame. It should be
just a small amount – too much headroom looks

8. Noseroom
In profile shot, it’s important to leave space
between the nose and the side of the frame. It
should be a significant amount - too little

9. The Rule of Thirds
Create a 3x3 grid on your shot, and align
the main subject along the intersection of
the lines.
