Film shots 
Establishing shot: An establishing 
shot establishes the setting of a 
scene and reminds the viewer of 
where the picture or film is 
taken. 
Wide or long shot: A wide 
or long shot reveals where 
the picture or film has 
taken place, this is because 
the scenery around is 
included in the shot. 
Medium shot: A medium shot is 
taken from a medium angle and 
distance away. It is usually from 
the waist up on a person. 
Close up shot: A close up shot 
closely frames the object, person 
or animal in the picture or film. 
This means that the viewer solely 
focuses on the main subject in 
the shot.
Ellie Pike 
Medium close up: A 
medium close up is close 
enough so that you are 
able to focus on 
something such as a 
character and what they 
are doing or holding. 
Extreme close up shot: An 
extreme close up shot allows 
the viewers to be able to 
focus on something extremely 
close up like a murder 
weapon or someone’s eyes, 
enabling them to read their 
emotions. 
Point of view: A shot 
taken from the point of 
view of the person to 
make the viewer 
perceive the scene from 
the subjects own eyes. 
Over the shoulder: A shot 
taken over a person’s 
shoulder in order to make 
the viewer feel they are at 
the scene with the people 
involved. It also allows the 
viewer to feel they are 
seeing what the person in 
front is seeing.
Ellie Pike 
Two shot: A shot 
taken focusing on 
two people in a 
scene. 
Shot reverse shot: Usually a film 
technique where one character is 
shown looking at another and 
then the other character is 
shown looking back at the first 
character, as seen in the picture 
demonstrated. 
High angle shot: In a high angle 
shot the camera is usually at an 
angle above the eye line (as 
demonstrated) and the camera 
looks down onto the subject 
which gives the impression of the 
subject being ‘swallowed up’. 
Low angle shot: A low angle shot 
is where the camera is placed 
under the subject pointing 
upwards. This gives the 
impression the subject is much 
more powerful and bigger than it 
really is.
