Shot Types

 

Extreme long shot: 

 Extremely long shots can be used to capture the size of a character/object compared to the overwhelming surroundings, emphasizing loneliness and isolation.

Long shot:
In long shots, the whole body will be in view but also not filling the shot. By using this shot type, we get to see the surrounding environment and the connection between the object and the background.

                                                  

Medium long shot:
A medium long shot is somewhere between a medium shot and a long shot, allowing the audience to get a clearer and further emphasis on the connection between the background and the object/character.

Medium shot:
This shot type starts to focus more on the object's state, its 'characteristics' and how it connects to the other shots.

    

Medium close-up:
This shot type can be used to pull more attention toward the object, once the object is in the middle of the screen, we get to focus more on its details and the atmosphere around it.

Close-up:
Close-up shots are used to show the object from top to bottom, capturing more details of it and the building up of tension or any other mood that the object generates.

  

Big close-up:
Again, this shot type is between the close-up and the extreme close-up shots, so there is not much to mention. This could be used as a transformation as well as building up tension towards the object.

Extreme close-up:
This shot type captures the object and fills the frame, which could be used for emphasis, showing details, and heightening emotion.
