This document discusses different types of camera shots including close ups, long shots, extreme long shots, medium shots, establishing shots, and reaction shots. It provides descriptions of each shot type, explaining what they show and how much of the subject or scene they capture. Close ups show details of a small part of the subject, while long and extreme long shots show wider views including full figures or landscapes. Medium shots capture around half of the subject. Establishing shots set the scene and reaction shots show responses to words or actions.

2. Long Shots & Extreme Long Shots
• A long shot shows
the whole subject.
• A long shot is used to
show the full human
figure and often
provides a clear view
of the environment
or setting.
• An extreme long shot
is used to show
landscapes or
provide a view of a
whole world.

3. Medium Shot
• A medium shot
shows the human
body from mid-shin
or mid-thigh up
and is often used to
show interaction
between two or
more characters.
• It shows about half
of the subject, such
as the front end of
a car or part of a
tree.

4. Close Ups & Extreme Close Ups
• A close up: only shows
one part of the
subject, usually is in
great detail.
• A close up, and an
extreme close up,
would include shots of
a persons face, or the
paws of a dog walking
down a path, of a
hand or on a doorbell
or a tree branch.
• In a close up we can
normally understand
how the characters
usually feel.

5. Establishing Shot & Reaction
Shot
• An establishing shot
at the beginning of a
scene tells viewers
what they are. For
example, a long shot
of a car driving up to
a hotel, or a close up
of a restaurant sign.
• A reaction shot shows
the effect of one
persons words or
actions on the other
people in the scene.
