2. Extreme close up shot:
ECU - Zoomed in far and shows extreme detail of the
subject; focusing on facial organs. It is too close to show
general reactions or emotion. And is usually implemented to
emphasise something and or its significance.

3. Close up shot:
CU - Zoomed in and shows detail of the subject; focusing on
the facial region, emphasising the subject’s emotional state.
Close up shots are used for showing detail; a specific
feature of the subject covers most of the frame.

4. Medium shot:
MS - Zoomed in and shows detail of the subject; focusing on
the top region of their body, creates the audience the
impression as if they were looking at the whole body.

5. Long shot:
LS - Zoomed out and shows the subject in relation to its
environment; the subject covers the full height of the frame.

6. Extreme long shot:
ELS - Zoomed out and not showing detail of the subject;
with the purpose of showing the subject’s surroundings;
designed to show the audience where the action is taking
place.

7. Track shot:
TS - The camera is mounted on a cart and travels along
tracks; maintaining a movement that is parallel to the action.

8. Pan shot:
PS - A horizontal camera movement in which the camera
moves left and right; focusing on the subject or action.

9. Zoom shot:
ZS - Changing the focal length of the lens to create the illusion
of moving closer or further away from the subject. Altering the
camera creates a different perspective that background objects
seem to change in relation to foreground objects.

10. Jump cut:
JC - A transition between two shots which seems to jump
because of the way the shots are framed in relation with
each other.

11. Pace:
P - Speed of transitions, and playback of videos.

12. Performance:
P - Presenting the play, concert or another form of
entertainment to an audience.

13. Diegetic:
D - A sound that the character or characters on screen can
hear; usually not edited in.

14. Non diegetic:
ND - A sound that the audience can hear but the characters
on screen cannot; edited in.

15. Mise-en-scene:
MES - All movement and positioning of object and
characters, sounds, set and lighting that are in a particular
scene simultaneously. Considered throughout the planning
and filming of a scene.
