7. •Zooming in from a distance will ‘flatten’ the field of view
•Zooming while tracking will keep the foreground subject a uniform size
while the background subject will appear to grow

12. Framing
Extreme Long Shot (ELS)
A very wide field of view in which the camera takes in the entire viewing area. The subject or subjects are small in relation to the
background and tend to compete with the surroundings for the viewer's attention. The ELS is often used early in a scene as an
"establishing shot". An establishing shot is used to show the audience where the action is taking place.
Long Shot (LS) or Wide Shot (WS)
A slightly closer field of view than the extreme long shot, but the subject remains dominated by the much larger background area.
13. Medium Shot (MS)
The subject becomes larger and more dominant. The background is still important but now shares space with the subject.
Close-up (CU)
The subject becomes the primary focus within the shot. Only a small portion of the background is visible.
