 Close up
A close-up or closeup in filmmaking, television
production, still photography and the comic
strip medium is a type of shot, which tightly
frames a person or an object. Close-ups are
one of the standard shots used regularly with
medium shots and long shots (cinematic
techniques).
 Medium close up
A close-up or closeup in filmmaking,
television production, still photography and
the comic strip medium is a type of shot,
which tightly frames a person or an object.
Close-ups are one of the standard shots
used regularly with medium shots and long
shots (cinematic techniques).
 Extreme close up
Extreme Close Up: The shot is so tight
that only a detail of the subject, such as
someone's eyes, can be seen. Lean-In:
when the juxtaposition of shots in a
sequence, usually in a scene of
dialogue, starts with medium or long
shots, for example, and ends with close-
ups.
 Mid Shot
The medium shot is a general, all-purpose shot.
Medium shots are used for dialogue sequences, and
they allow the viewer to pick up on the character's
movements and gestures. Body language is important
to conveying emotion, and the medium shot remains
close enough to capture that emotion.
 Over the shoulder shot
In film or video, an over the shoulder
shot (also over shoulder, OTS, or
third-person shot) is a shot of
someone or something taken from the
perspective or camera angle from the
shoulder of another person.
 Group shot
Group Shot is a photo combining program developed
by Microsoft Research. Its purpose is to solve the
problem of individuals in group photographs that might
be doing undesirable things such as looking elsewhere,
closing their eyes, not smiling, etc.
 Weather shot
In this type of shot the subject is the weather. The sky
takes up at least 2/3 of the frame. Other shots often
used to illustrate weather include: Puddles, drain
spouts or any example of rainwater flow. Trees or
anything else blowing in the wind.
