An
establishing shot is a shot which establishes a scenes setting and/or characters. They are typically used at the start of a film or scene. An establishing shot can either be in the distance or alternatively close up (showing a character). They are significant as they allow us to see the area of action and/or the characters who are going to be key throughout.
A
close up shot is a close up of a person or object which show detail and emotion. It is rare that it happens with an object as they are usually of characters faces as they tightly frame the person allowing us to see there facial expression. These shots are significant as they give us a clear image of the character as well as showing the emotion throughout.
A
medium(mid) shot is a camera shot from a medium distance. Medium shots are often very poor at showing a characters facial expression however the main focus is to establish the body language. These shots are significant as they allow the audience to establish the positioning of the character and how they feel in a current situation from the way they could be standing.
A
long shot is a shot showing a character in the distance and/or its surroundings. We would often see this used throughout a scene showing the setting alone or the character in the distance. These shots are significant as they allow the audience to establish the setting/location as well as the positioning of a character and its surroundings.
A
two shot is a shot that tightly frames a view of two characters, The shot is used to show emotional reactions between the two people. It is often used during a conversation. This shot is significant as it allow us to view both characters at once as well as there expressions and reactions towards one another.
An
aerial shot is a view of a large landscape. These kind of shots can often be used to establish a setting or a location of a character from a higher angle. They would usually be filmed in a helicopter. They are significant as they allow us to see the view from a high angle which establishes the whole setting rather than just parts of it.This is otherwise know as a birds eye view.
A
point of view (POV) shot is a shot used to show what a character is looking at. By using this shot we are able to see the character or alternatively the setting from their perspective. This is commonly used during a conversation. These kind of shots are significant as they make it seem more realistic for the audience and partially make the audience feel more engaged, as if it is actually their point of view.
An
over the shoulder shot is a shot which is obviously looking at something over the characters shoulder. It is partially the same as a POV shot however just from over the shoulder. Yet again it is commonly used when two people are talking. It is significant again because it allows the audience to see the view from the characters perspective.
