there is more than one person in the shot to show relationships between characters.

5.Very long shot A very or extreme long shot as it is sometimes known is often used as an establishing shot. These shots are used to show landscape background
and are there to give a general impression rather than detail.
6.Two shots Two shots have two people in view. They are used for dialogue scenes and to show relationships between characters.
7.Over the shoulder shot These shots are also used during dialogue scenes and help involve the audience. You see the scene from the point of view of the character whose
shoulder you are peering over
8.Interview shot These shots are used during interview scenes and you usually have an eye level view – this is a neutral shot.
9.Moving shot In this type of shot you follow the person in the scene and you see things as and when they do.They also show how a character responds to situations.
10.Low angle shot Low angle shots are used to look up at characters.This can make a character appear more powerful and help give a sense of confusion to the viewer,
who becomes inferior to the person on the screen.
11.High angle shot This type of shot, also known as a bird’s eye view shot, is shot from overhead and looks down on a character or place making them seem
insignificant. It places the audience in a superior position.
