This document lists and describes various shot types used in documentaries. Wide shots like EWS and VWS are used to establish locations, while mid shots (MS) and medium close ups (MCU) are well-suited for expert interviews as they capture both the subject and background. Close ups (CU) and extreme close ups (ECU) show emotion and detail. Cutaways provide relevant supplemental footage. Understanding these shot types will help determine the best shots to take for a documentary.
