8 shot sequence

Close-Up
A certain shot of where the subject takes up most of the frame. A close up of a
person usually means a close up of their face. It can show great emotion of the
particular subject.

It can be used in our film when portraying the subjects emotions during a
certain point in the film for example how the character feels when he gets
robbed.

Long shot
A long shot is essentially the same as a wide shot, it may mean the full frame
height of the subject or it could be that you can see the environment that the
subject is in.

It can be used in our film when showing the characters environment to connect
the story with the environment of where the action is taking place for example
where the vulnerable character gets robbed.

Top shot/Birds eye view


A shot looking directly down on the subject. It is shot by lifting the camera
up by hands or hanging off something strong enough to support it.

This can be used in our film when showing a birds eye view to shows the
audience what actions the character is doing for example in our film we
could sue this shot when showing the character who is planning revenge
what their revenge plan is.
8 shot sequence

POV shot
A point of view shot puts the audience directly into the head of the
character, so the audience can experience and see what the subject sees and
the audience can feel the subjects emotional state.

It can be used in our film when portraying to the audience what the subject
is doing and so that the audience can experience what the character is doing
for example when we film the character Henry, we can show what emotional
state he is in when Eric bullys him.

Mid shot
Shows part of the subject in more detail, it typically frames them from the waist
up. It is most common in films as it focuses on the character in the scene while
showing some of the environment that the subject is in.

This shot can be used in our film when focusing a particular scene and trying to
get the audience’s attention just to be on that character for example Henry
walking down the corridor before the robbery.

Extreme close-up
An extreme close up shot emphasizes a small area of the subject such as the eyes
and mouth, it shows the subject great emotions so that the audience can get a
better insight of how they feel.

This shot can be used in our film when emphasizing the characters emotions so
that the audience can get a better insight of how the character feels for example
when Eric gets robbed, we can show in an extreme close up how Eric feels.
8 shot sequence

Two-shot
A two shot is used to show two subjects in that shot, it shows what actions the
subjects are taking and can tell the story better.

This shot can be used in our film when we are showing both of the two characters
in the film for example the robbery scene, when Henry undertakes the robbery of
Eric’s bag.
8 shot sequence

Wide shot
A wide shot shows a character with the physical setting behind then or
surrounding them in which the action is taking place, yet it is close enough to
show facial expressions.

It can be used in our film when showing facial expressions for example when the
robbery has been done and Eric is running after Henry for his bag back.
