Shot Types
Here is a useful video that will show some basic shot types that are frequently used in media:
Establishing Shot: An establishing shot is used to 'establish' where the film is set. Showing the landscape, whether that being nature, buildings etc. to 'set the scene.'
Long Shot: Long shots are used on a character, showing the whole body. Making the audience see the size, shape and wardrobe choices of a character. Helping the audience get to grips with the character.
Close Up: Close up's focus on the whole face of the character, often used to show the facial expressions clearly to the audience.
Over The Shoulder: Using an over the shoulder shot in a film can be used for the audience to see something from the characters perspective.
Medium Close: Features just the top half of the characters body, from the waist up.
Cut-In: Otherwise known as a close up of an object.
Extreme Close Up: Often features just the eyes and nose of a person. Can make the viewer feel intimidated.
Two Shot: A shot featuring two characters in the frame.

Hope this explained some of the different shot types!

Pre-Filming Research
These next few posts will be explaining several filming and shooting elements that all AS Media students should know about before filming their short films. These are:
- Shot Types
- Camera Movement
- Cut Types
- Rule Of Thirds
- Match On Action
- 180 Degree Rule
- Continuity
These posts that will be spread out over a couple of days will explain theses seven different areas and will hopefully get across what each one is/means, how it works. Look forward to them, reader!
