The document describes various camera shots used in filmmaking including extreme long shots, long shots, cowboy shots, medium shots, close ups, and extreme close ups. Extreme long shots show landscapes from a quarter mile away to set the scene, while long shots show the entire human body. Cowboy shots cut off just before the knees. Medium shots focus on figures from the waist up. Close ups concentrate on faces with little background. Extreme close ups magnify details to draw attention to specific facial expressions or objects.

1. VARIOUS CAMERA SHOTS
By: Iman Nadeem Zoqi

2. 1.Extreme Long Shot (ELS)
This can be taken from as
much as a quarter of a
mile away, and is
generally used as a
scene-setting shot. It
normally shows a
landscape rather than
focusing on animate
objects.There is very
little detail visible in the
shot as it's meant to give
a general impression
rather than specific
information.

3. 2.Long Shot (LS)
This is the shot that shows
the image as
approximately "Life Size"
This category includes the
'Full Shot' showing the
entire human body, with
the head near the top of
the frame and the feet
near the bottom.While
the focus is on characters,
plenty of background
detail can still be seen.

4. 3.Cowboy Shot (CS)
The Cowboy Shot is a
medium long shot that
frames the whole body but
cuts off before the knee.
The term comes from the
use of this framing in
Westerns where the
cowboy was framed so you
could see his low riding
guns.

5. 4.Medium Shot or Mid Shot (MS)
This shot focuses on a figure
from the waist up.This shot
can also be used to focus on
two or more figures but all
of them are shown only
from the waist up.
Background detail isnt given
much space or importance
and is minimal.This type of
shot is used most frequently
for magazine covers.

6. 5.Close Up (CU)
This shows very little
background, and
concentrates on either a
face or a head shot. It
may also capture a
specific detail of the
mise en scène.
Everything else is just a
blur in the background.
This shot magnifies the
object and shows the
importance of things.

7. 6.Extreme Close Up (ECU)
Extreme close ups are a
detailed view of an
object or a person. It is
used to bring to
attention a very specific
detail to the audience. It
is mainly used to focus
on facial expressions.
