2. Wide Shot (+variants)
Wide shots Are used to get a whole scene in the lens,
as well as the subject. The variants are very wide, and
extreme wide shot. The extreme shot is used often as a
shot to establish the scene, rather than focus on a
subject, as it will be barely visible. The Very wide shot
is to place the subject in the environment it is in.
Superman (1978)
3. Mid-shot
Mid shots get most of the subject in
the shot, normally missing the lower
section. It still fits the subject in the
scene, but obviously less so than a
wide shot.
Hunger games (2012)
4. Close up (and Extreme close
up)
Close ups get the subject to take up
most of the frame, but normally focus
on their head. The extreme close-up
focuses one distinct feature.

5. Two-Shot
This shot is very similar to the
mid-shot, but fits two people
equally in the shot.

(2009)
6. Aerial Shot
Shots from the air, big surprise
there. Normally used as an
establishing shot to a new
scene, say a city
Sound of Music (1995)
7. Dutch Tilt
This is similar to the close up, but
can be set up like a medium shot.
The difference here is that the
camera is tilted. Can be used to
show confusion.

(1950)
