Video Shots Establishing or Long Shot ( LS ) -generally used to establish a scene's setting or atmosphere. Obviously then this shot could be employed for events 1, 2 and 9 in the example above. Mid -Shot. (MS) This shot usually extends (on a person) from the foot to the head. This could be an ideal shot for event 3 (above). Close-up (CU) traditionally extends from either the waist to the head (MCU) or the shoulder blade to the hair.(CU) A good candidate for the shot for events5 and 7 (above). Big Close Up (BCU) Always a very tight close-up, usually of the face or a section of the face only. Maximum expression possible. Normally a short shot. Ideal for event 6 (above). High Camera Angle (HCA) The camera is higher than eye level, looking down -this viewpoint can diminish a subject or give a panorama. Low Camera Angle (LCA) The camera is lower than eye level looking up. This can make a subject monumental, or the character feel small in a tall environment.
