DIFFERENT
SHOTS
VIDEOGRAPHY
CLOSE UP
• Close ups connote that the
audience is next to the
character.
• It suggest intimacy and
emotional closeness.
• Close ups are normally
used in dramatic scenes.

MID SHOT
• A mid shot is an approximation
to how you would normally see
someone while talking to them.
You are not too close, or too
far.
• You can see the character in
some detail, it is useful for
when a character is giving
information, but not for
expression an emotion.

2
LONG SHOT
• Characters are now further back
from the camera. This connotes that
environment they are in is as
important as the characters
themselves.
• Just like close ups, there are
extreme versions of long shits i.e.
The extreme long shot.

3
 OVER THE

“ SHOULDER
• This is self explanatory. The camera takes place over the
shoulder of a character, usually talking to another
character. This allows you to see things from the subjects
point of view without going into a POV shot. This could
also be called a third person perspective.

4
 EYE LEVEL

“
• The camera is positioned as though it is a
human actually observing a scene.
Actors’ heads are on a level with the focus

5
HIGH ANGLE
• A high angle shot makes the audience feel
as if they are towering above a character.
• This can connote the character is
vulnerable isolated or powerless.
LOW ANGLE
• A low angle shot makes the audience
look up at someone.
• This can connote a sense of
intimidation or symbolize the power of
a character.
