The view is so far from the subject that he or she isn't even visibale. Often used as an establishing shot where the vastness of the location needs to be empahsized.

EXTREME LONG SHOT

MID SHOT

Medium or midt shot are the most common types of shot used in the film industry. Showing most of the subject's body, mid shot are halfway between long shots and close ups.

MID SHOT

CLOSE UPS

In close-up shots, the subject occupies most of the frame, allowing very little observation on the enviorment. Close-ups are much more dramtic than long or mid shots, they used to emphasize someones emotion.

CLOSE UPS

EXTREME CLOSE UP

Extreme close-up shots show small detail that would otherwise be missed if you used other shot types. For extreme close-up sometimes a telephoto lens is used which allows you to shoot these types of shots from a distance away.

HIGH ANGLE SHOT

High angle shots can be used to make a subject appear small, weak or vulnerable. Shots like these may be used to signal that a subject is in danger or has lost dominance in their enviorment.

HIGH ANGLE SHOT
