The document discusses the 9 basic camera shots used in photography. 1) Extreme long shot shows subjects as very small dots and emphasizes their environment. 2) Very long shot barely shows subjects and emphasizes their setting. 3) Long shots show landscape and give a more specific idea of the setting. 4) Medium long shots almost show the full subject. 5) Medium shots frame subjects from a medium distance. 6) Medium closeups show faces more clearly without being uncomfortable close. 7) Close ups tightly frame subjects or objects. 8) Big closeups include eyes and mouths but not whole heads. 9) Extreme closeups zoom in very close to parts of subjects.
