This document defines and describes 7 different types of camera shots: extreme long shot, long shot, mid long shot, mid shot, mid close up shot, close up shot, and extreme close up shot. Each shot is defined by how far or close the camera is to the subject and what part of the subject is visible. The shots range from showing a wide area and surroundings from a distance to focusing very closely on details of a subject.

2. EXTREME LONG SHOT
An extreme long shot (ELS) is a long shot that
covers a wider area. It is also known as an
extreme wide shot. The shot frames the subject
from the distance and focuses on the
surroundings.

3. LONG SHOT
A long shot is sometime foundational type
of camera shot in the cinema topographer’s
toolbox. Long shot is a view of a scene that is
shot from a considerable distance, so that
people appear indistinct shape

4. MID LONG SHOT
A medium full shot is a shot that frames a character
from their knees to the top of their head. Otherwise
known as the cowboy shot.

5. MID SHOT
The mid-shot or medium shot generally
shows the character from the waist to the
top of the head. It enables the viewer to
see facial expressions in combination
with body language, to show emotion.

6. MID CLOSE UP SHOT
a medium close-up (MCU) frames the
subject from just above the head to just
below the chest. A neutral shot, the medium
close-up captures the subject's facial
expression and body language while still
leaving some background in the frame.

7. CLOSE UP SHOT
A close-up shot is a photograph or movie shot taken of
a subject or object at close range intended to show
greater detail to the viewer.

8. EXTREME CLOSE UP SHOT
An extreme close-up shot frames a
subject very closely, often so much so
that the outer portions of the subject
are cut off by the edges of the frame
